[Mesa-users] New version compilation problem

As to the second question, I suspect you are using a binary test case as a starting point. That's a great way to start, but you need to do a little cleanup first.

in make/makefile, delete or comment out the line

MESA_DIR = ../../..

Similarly, if they appear in inlist1 and/or inlist2, delete the lines that set mesa_dir.

Finally, you should probably look through src/run_binary_extras.f and src/run_star_extras.f to see if something specific to the test is being done. That shouldn't affect compilation, but it may cause unexpected behavior later on.

I think that's all the cleanup you need to do.

hi aite,  

i'll take the first of your questions. mesa cannot be used to model  
the detailed physics of binary black holes. in a binary model one can  
use a point mass for one of the two stars and call it a "black hole"  
but this approximation would be limited to the far-field gravitational effects.  

a more fruitful, and hot, topic that mesa can certainly address is which  
single and binary stars become black hole.
