[gmx-users] Linking contrib program issue

[Michael Cristòfol Clough]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply. I modified template and it worked ok, but I
wanted to do it properly so that I can add more analysis tools. I'm quite a
newbie with Cmake and where I'm having trouble is adding more programes to
the CMake files. I'll look into it more, thank you.

Regards,

Michael
