water steam properties used by OpenFOAm wiki: https://github.com/romansCode/IAPWS-IF97-OF

This repository is also outdated, will not compiled on modern C++11 compiler and latest OpenFOAM versions.

Code_Saturne using another open source software. EOS ??

• move all source into src folder, this will break scons build system
• cmake building system setup
• deb package generation by cmake

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit

• gtk2.0 will not upgrade to gtk4.0, no such expertise
• qt4 to qt5 or qt6, wait until there is such a requirement
• RPM spec
• cross-platform packaging, invite contribution, describing how GSL installation

cmake is now supported to compile the C shared library and build swig python module.

cd freesteam
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
#install
