[MuzafarWani]

Here is a makefile I am trying to run.

VISITHOME=/home/muzafar/Downloads/installations

Set this to the version of VisIt that you use

VISITVERSION=3.1.4

Choose one, depending on your system architecture

VISITARCH=darwin-x86_64

VISITARCH=linux-x86_64

Edit your compiler and its settings

CXX=clang++ CPPFLAGS= CXXFLAGS=-O3 LDFLAGS= LIBS=

################################################################################# SIMDIR=$(VISITHOME)/$(VISITVERSION)/$(VISITARCH)/libsim/V2

SIM_CXXFLAGS=-I$(SIMDIR)/include SIM_LDFLAGS=-L$(SIMDIR)/lib SIM_LIBS=-lsimV2 -ldl

SRC=mandelbrot.C patch.C OBJ=$(SRC:.C=.o)

SRC_BATCH=mandelbrot_batch.C patch.C OBJ_BATCH=$(SRC_BATCH:.C=.o)

all: mandelbrot mandelbrot_batch

clean: rm -f mandelbrot mandelbrot_batch $(OBJ)

mandelbrot: $(OBJ) $(CXX) -o mandelbrot $(OBJ) $(LDFLAGS) $(SIM_LDFLAGS) $(SIM_LIBS) $(LIBS)

mandelbrot_batch: $(OBJ_BATCH) $(CXX) -o mandelbrot_batch $(OBJ_BATCH) $(LDFLAGS) $(SIM_LDFLAGS) $(SIM_LIBS) $(LIBS)

.C.o: $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(SIM_CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -c $<

and the execution details are been shown as below
