Hi, I was wondering If it might be possible for the Mac OS X installation document here to be updated? I have reached the section titled “Prepare channelflow for installation,” at which point the text files and directory structure depicted in the guide no longer correspond with the actual text or directory structure in the channel flow source. I believe I have done every previous step satisfactorily.

Skipping forward to the “Install channelflow” section, I progress with no evident issue until:

cmake -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX= …/trunk

At which point I am still working on figuring out what’s wrong.
