To install vcfCodingSnps on your local UNIX machine, go to the Download page and download the whole package in a .tar.gz archive. To decompress the archive, use syntax like:

# tar -zxvf vcfCodingSnps_v1.5.tar.gz

In the root of the decompressed folder, there is a Makefile and a library folder ./libcsg. Although we put an executable binary file pre-compiled on a 64-bit unix machine, it might not be ready to use on your own machine due to different versions of C++ compiler. We strongly recommend you to re-compile everything on your machine.

1. First, get into the library folder ./libcsg, from there type

gcc -c -O2 *.cpp -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

to re-compile the .c files in the library if you are using a 64-bit machine. If you are using a 32-bit machine, type

gcc -c -O2 *.cpp -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32

instead.

2. In the library folder, type

ar -rc libcsg.a *.o

to re-link all the .o files.

3. Go to the root folder, type "make clean" and then "make".

Then your vcfCodingSnps is ready to run, see the quick start quideline to try it. Have fun!
