In principle, after installing deal.II, you
+ can remove the source directory as well (i.e., the directory into
+ which tar
unpacked the file you downloaded) since
+ projects using deal.II should only need files that have been
+ installed. However, you will find it convenient to keep the source
+ files around anyway, for two reasons: (i) When
+ debugging you often end up with assertions for which you'd like to
+ see the place in the library's source files that triggered it. (ii)
+ You may want to use the tutorial programs located in the source
+ directory.

The deal.II CMake
system can accept a
significant number of configuration parameters. See the
