Installation with local libdivsufsort

[RenzoTale88]

Hello, I'm trying to compile the code using a local installation of libdivsufsort without success. I've proceeded compiling the library as follow:

git clone https://github.com/y-256/libdivsufsort.git
cd libdivsufsort 
mkdir build
mkdir dist
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="../dist" ..
make && make install
cd ../dist
export LD_INCLUDE_PATH=${PWD}/include:$LD_INCLUDE_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I then compile phylonium using the commands:

git clone https://github.com/EvolBioInf/phylonium && cd phylonium 
autoreconf -fi -Im4
./configure
make

But this fails at the configure with the following errors:

$ autoreconf -fi -Im4

Am I missing something? Thank you in advance Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Building with a local library is always a bit tricky. You can try the following. Instead of LD_LINCLUDE_PATH which is not a thing use C_INCLUDE_PATH. Then try to ./configure phylonium again.

If that didn't help we need to add the paths directly to the compilation parameters: CPPFLAGS="-I/$PATHTOLIBDIVSUFSORT/include" LDFLAGS="-L/$PATHTOLIBDIVSUFSORT/lib" ./configure.

Hope this helps, Fabian

Hello

I was wondering whether the issue was resolved? I am trying to use the program and i get the same error, but none of the solutions above have worked for me

Please note that you have to replace $PATHTOLIBDIVSUFSORT with wherever you did build libdivsufsort. That should do the trick.
