OpenFoam v1706 compilation issues with gcc 11.2.0/openMPI 4.1.2

[Johnxia1]

I have been able to compile OF V1706 and hyStrath with gcc/7.1.0 and openmpi/1.10.7 but not with newer versions of gcc/openmpi. This makes it difficult to use hy2Foam on clusters that do not support older version of gcc/openmpi. Is there a fix to the problem? Is there a newer version of OF that hyStrath works with?

I am trying to compile OF with the command

./Allwmake >& log&

and the bottom portion of my log file where the error occurs looks like

Try with different compiler like Intel or Clang.

Changing compilers did not help. Have you gotten the compilation to work with more recent compilers?

I have used Intel 2019. Try using flags like c++89
