'make install' is currently required when you have something developed that you want to 'publish' - ready to use in another package... So far, that has been how we have been interacting with moose and anything else. It is possible for any package using libtool, however, to interact with an *uninstalled* version of libMesh, and if that is important John and I can work towards incorporating that before 0.9.0. The other major thing I've got in my build system radar before 0.9.0 is Roy's requested $ ./configure … $ make $ make install=/path/i/forgot/to/specify use case. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
