Unable to install Queso Library on Ubuntu VM

[Prem7Chand]

I have tried to clone the Queso Library from the link https://github.com/libqueso/queso.git on a ubuntu VM

Tried to configure it using cmake..

However, when I tried to configure it throws an error, that the file downloaded doesnt have CMakeLists.txt

Could you please help in sorting out the issue. Also Please let me know if there are any other ways to install queso library

Queso doesn't use cmake; it uses autotools. https://github.com/libqueso/queso/#installation

When I try to configure using that above process. I am getting the Epetra error

checking absolute name of <Trilinos_version.h>... checking for Trilinos_version.h... (cached) yes

configure: error: Could not find Epetra - which is required if Trilinos is enabled.

When I try to re-configure Trilinos & install queso I am getting the same error

Is there a Makefile.export.Epetra installed? You might need a Trilinos configuration option to enable export Makefiles ... assuming Trilinos still has such an option? I don't think Queso has been tested with any recent versions of it.

[Prem7Chand]

On the Trilinos versions installed, there is no makefile.export.epetra file installed, I have checked in the first and last versions but no luck. Is ther any other way we can get it done?

RELEASE_NOTES on the latest Trilinos git head still mentions "the Makefile.export.* system", so it's at least still an option. If you want to rewrite trilinos.m4 here to make it more flexible, that'd be another option, but it'd probably be easier to use a custom build+install of EPetra rather than the Ubuntu package.
