Hi Ben, as you know the Debian Med team has packaged bowtie for Debian. We also do provide bowtie2 as a separate package because there is some usecase for the old version. Everything I'm writing here applies to bowtie 0.12.7 which was downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bowtie-bio/files/bowtie/ I noticed that there is a quite recent but empty download directory versioned 0.12.8. It seems that the development is not completely stalled and thus the following hints might be useful for you. Recently we received a bug report that the package does not build when using gcc 4.7 and we were able to find a patch. You can find it here: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/bowtie/trunk/debian/patches/gcc-4.7.patch?view=markup Feel free to take it over into your next upstream version. As an additional remark: bowtie comes with a private copy of an old SeqAn version (1.1 - currently in Debian is version 1.3). We would like to link against the Debian packaged library instead of a private copy. Do you see any chance in implementing this? Kind regards and thanks for providing bowtie as Free Software Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
