Lack of instructions aimed to run a file with cc-extension when the source of acquisition of ASL is not the source repository

[Ricky-Tigg]

OS: Fedora. Components covering ASL 0.1.7 acquired from a Fedora's repository.

Installed components:

$ dnf -q rq --installed --archlist noarch,x86_64 --qf '%{name} %{version} %{arch} %{summary}' libasl*
libASL 0.1.7 x86_64 ASL hardware accelerated multiphysics simulation platform
libASL-bin 0.1.7 x86_64 Binaries for libASL
libASL-doc 0.1.7 x86_64 Documentation for libASL
libASL-examples 0.1.7 x86_64 Examples for libASL

Hello. Location paths of binaries and files with cc-extension supplied by libASL-examples are respectively /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/doc/libASL-examples. Here though, the obvious is noticeable: the instructions covering the methodology to run a file given as example cannot be applied to an installation whose source is not the present repository. Hence unknown are the instructions to run that locomotive.cc.

.cc is a C++ source code file, so can't be run. What can be run is probably located on your Linux distribution inside /usr/bin. Can you, please, list the content that was added to that directory by ASL? Also, please, provide the content of /usr/share/doc/libASL-examples.

libASL-bin as well installs into /usr/bin/, though a unique binary –asl-hardware–, despite of the mention "Binaries" in its summary.

Since the names of binaries installed by libASL-examples begin by asl-, i use that characteristic to achieve the query. Output truncated

$ cd /usr/bin/; ls | grep ^asl-
asl-acousticWaves (...) asl-locomotive (...) asl-testSMDiff3C

Files with cc-extension installed by libASL-examples go into those directories

$ cd /usr/share/doc/libASL-examples; ls
elastic  flow  heatTransfer  input  jumpingObjects  levelSet  massTransferSM

Example

$ ls flow/ | grep locomotive.cc
locomotive.cc

[AvtechScientific]

asl-locomotive is the compiled binary of locomotive.cc, so run /usr/bin/asl-locomotive...
