I've found a bug. How do I report it?

The preferred bug-reporting method is bugzilla. Click on the "Enter a new bug report" link. (You'll have to create a bugzilla account to proceed any further.) Alternatively, you can email one of the developers.

How do I compile and/or link my code with ML and get all the dependencies right?

Include the file Makefile.export.ml, found in the ML build directory, in your Makefile. Makefile.export.ml defines two macros, ML_LIBS and ML_INCLUDES, that contain all the library and include dependencies, respectively, that ML needs. Finally, add the macro definition -DHAVE_CONFIG_H to the link line of your executable. Below is an example.


          include /home/joe/Trilinos/serial/packages/ml/Makefile.export.ml
          

          ROOT=ml_aztec_simple
          

          all: ${ROOT}.exe
          

          

          ${ROOT}.exe: ${ROOT}.o
          

          g++ -o ${ROOT}.exe ${ROOT}.o ${ML_LIBS}
          

          

          ${ROOT}.o: ${ROOT}.c
          

          g++ -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H ${ML_INCLUDES} ${ROOT}.c

My ML distribution is missing the file ml.m.

This file is available in Trilinos release 8.0.8 and higher. If you are using an earlier release, you can find the missing file here.

How can I search the ML users mail list archive?

In your favorite web search engine, restrict the search to the web site software.sandia.gov/pipermail/ml-users. For example, to search for "nullspace" in google search, type "nullspace site:software.sandia.gov/pipermail/ml-users".
