[Libmesh-users] Help getting started with any trivial example

[Yuxiang W. <yw...@vi...>]

Dear libmesh community,

Sorry for the spam.

Could you please provide some help to get me started with any trivial
example, such as the introduction_ex1 example? I apologize for my lack of
experience, but I spent quite some time on getting the basics working and
feel very frustrated. Although I can run this example, I do not know even
how to make a copy of this example elsewhere (rename it) and run it again.

I can understand the introduction_ex1.C fine, but even with this most
trivial example, the Makefile.in is 1237 lines long. I read part of it and
just gave up on going through to the end. My goal is - to create my own
folder somewhere else on my hard drive and run that code. I realized that
if I just copy the introduciton_ex1 folder to another folder (e.g.
~/introduction_ex1), I could not compile it.

Would there be any help? Any would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,
Shawn
