Re: [Libmesh-users] makefile

[Lorenzo Z. <za...@ai...>]

Actually in the Makefile "old version" the path to Make.common is LIBMESH_DIR/Make.common, so I set LIBMESH_DIR=LIBMESH_ROOT/installed then typed "make" from my example's directory. The Make.common file is found but there's still something wrong, since I'm getting a compile error:

ex23aa.C(29): catastrophic error: cannot open source file "libmesh.h"

What's the right way to link then?

Thanks
Lorenzo

In particular, it's best to build in a separate "build" directory and to use the provided 'make install' target.  Then Make.common will be found in your installation dir, and your existing app can use it more or less as it did before.
