Compilation problem with Mac using Homebrew

Hi

We were hoping someone has a solution to what is hopefully a stupid problem. We are using homebrew to install lammps on our macs. We are also at the same time creating a new pairs style for use in lammps. We have put the .h and the .cpp functions in a subdirectory of source which we have named USERS-VMM. However, when I uninstall lammps and then reinstall from the source it doesn’t include this directory. I even when into the Homebrew formulas directory and edited the lammps.rb file to include user-vmm on the list of acceptable options. This caused it to say it was compiling even though it wasn’t.

Any ideas?

thanks much

Any ideas?

check the log output and/or contact the person that wrote the homebrew
support script.
there have been some changes to the build system, and i don't recall
any updates to any of the contributed build tools outside of the ones
that i maintain myself.

USER- sorry for the typo.

There is no name on the lammps.rb script.

We haven’t contributed it yet. Getting it to compile would seem to be a useful prior step before doing so.

then why not follow the regular compilation instructions and compile "manually"?
it is not rocket science and you can correct any issue right away as it occurs.

Thanks to Derek Thomas (derekt at cello.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp) for setting
up the Homebrew capability.
