So I fixed the issue I mentioned previously. Basically, with an in-tree (uninstalled) build, if you still specify --prefix=$LIBMESH_DIR to configure even though you don't plan to 'make install' the library there, you will get $LIBMESH_DIR/include/libmesh in your compiler search paths. This gets us a bit further, but our build next dies when it tries to find the "exodusII.h" header file -- the problem is, for an installed libmesh exodusII.h (and other contrib headers) get installed into $LIBMESH_DIR/include/libmesh but this doesn't happen for an uninstalled libmesh. That header is still hidden away in contrib/exodusii/Lib/include where it lives in the distribution. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
