Metaeuk: GITDIR-NOTFOUND

[ReemaSingh]

Hi,

I am running Busco with metaeuk as one of the dependencies. My run finished successfully without any error message. However, in summary log file under "Dependencies and Versions" it says

'metaeuk: GITDIR-NOTFOUND'

As per my knowledge this means the program is unable to get the Metaeuk version because it does not find the GitHub directory path. But I will highly appreciate it if the developer could confirm this? I look forward to the response

Thank you,

MetaEuk should be compiled for a git checkput. If it's compiled from GitHub's generated .tar.gz/.zip files then it doesn't have a way to tell what commit/version it was compiled from. Ideally the BUSCO developers should specify the -DVERSION_OVERRIDE parameter to cmake when they compile metaeuk and set a sensible version string.
