It may not be necessary in Saif’s case, but in general it would be nice if anyone could fully exercise freedom 0 (run the software) not necessarily from pre-built binary or having to install the entire CCP4 suite. Coot is very helpful, and there are definitely use cases for it outside of the CCP4 suite. I tried to compile Coot from the current (as of yesterday) git commit, and could not figure it out in a reasonable amount of time (still haven’t figured it our, in fact). The INSTALL file starts by mentioning the usual ./configure ; make ; make install, but the repository does not seem to contain a configure script. Further down in the INSTALL file, I am instructed to run build-it as the recommended automatic option, so I tried that: it downloads a few things and seems to stop there, not telling me what to do next. Would you (or anybody else who’s successfully compiled Coot) mind clarifying how to get Coot compiled, please? ideally with an update of the INSTALL file, or README, or any file you think is appropriate as long as it is stored within the repository with an obvious file name. Thank you in advance, Guillaume ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the COOT list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=COOT&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/COOT, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
