section 0: where you should look for ML documentation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find the latest ML User's Guide in the subdirectory
ml/doc/mlguide.pdf.
This address also contains up-to-date doxygen documentation.
You can create a local Doxygen documentation as follows:
$ cd Trilinos/ml/doc
$ doxygen
Doxygen files mainly refer to the C++ interface of ML, and discuss several
examples in detail.
An history of ML changes is contained in the file ChangeLog.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
section 1: configuring and compiling ML
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
section 2: testing ML
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once ML is compiled, a simple sanity check can be performed as follows:
$ cd <your-ml-build-directory>
$ cd examples
$ ../test/scripts/daily/mpi/TestExamples.exe
The test will execute a subset of the examples and save the results to a log
file in ml/examples.
