Error building from source: libStatGen

[moldach]

I'm working on a Linux based HPC working with private data hence the environment is restrictive (no internet connection); therefore packages must be built from source.

After downloading the file and transferring it to the cluster I try to build by specifying the PATH for libStatGen but I get an error:

$ wget https://github.com/statgen/bamUtil/archive/v1.0.14.tar.gz

This is already fixed in the master branch of libStatGen. You can download at https://github.com/statgen/libStatGen/archive/master.zip.

Hi @jonathonl I've tried following the build instructions using the latest master branch of libStatGen but I'm getting an error still:

$ wget https://github.com/statgen/bamUtil/archive/v1.0.14.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf v1.0.14.tar.gz
$ cd bamUtil-1.0.14

$ unzip master.zip
$ make all

bamUtil is looking for libStatGen in the location "../libStatGen" relative to the bamUtil folder. You unzipped master.zip in the bamUtil directory instead in the parent directory. Also, master.zip unzips into a directory called libStatGen-master and bamUtil expects it to be called libStatGen.

From the bamUtil directory, you could run:

mv ../libStatGen ../libStatGen.bak && mv libStatGen ../libStatGen && make clean && make

Or, better yet, you could:

cd ../libStatGen && git pull && cd ../bamUtil && make clean && make

Or you could edit ../libStatGen/general/Makefile and remove -Werror so that it doesn't error on warnings. The source code that is failing doesn't get used by bamUtil.
