Marco The choice of using usr/local/bin was the way to go according to the INSTALL instructions with most of the programs.
some use ./confire - make - make install some use make make install I think one used just make and one used Build. If I remember the wording correctly "they say" copy your "package" "program" to the usr/local/bin foler and then in cycgwin use cd drive:/cygwin64/usr/local/bin and the use the followinf commands or script to install the package/program Bob htslib configure - make - make install ok > > samtools configure ok > > Robert@DESKTOP-14EL82S /usr/local/bin/samtools-1.3 Personal preference: in general "/usr/local/bin" is not the place that I will use as build area. > $ ./configure can you please clarify what is your problem ? I tried to build samtools-1.3 and it has at least two issue for a porting to cygwin: - on Makefile there is a -rdynamic that does not work on cygwin - the package require expl and logl that are not yet available in cygwin Regards Marco Bob May DNA Projects I2b L415, I2c L596 HG, Spriggs of Cleve SA Family & Tyler Surname and ISOGG YTree -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
