[Mesa-users] Big Sur and MESA

[Francis Timmes]

hi jason,

please send the build.log file when attempting to build mesa on big sur.

on the education side of things, 

take a peek at conny aert's course
https://fys.kuleuven.be/ster/education/sse/course-stellar-structure-and-evolution
with labs designed by may gade pedersen.

summer school material can also be useful, if even just for ideas:

depending what you have in mind, mesa-web has been used in several courses:
