Justin, 3 days ago I have been try in struggling with this problem. If you have MSDN installed on your computer see in it contents explorer:
* Win32 and COM Development o Development Guides * UNIX Application Migration Guide * Chapter 9: Win32 Code Conversion Or go on link: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=Overview+o f+the+UNIX+Application+Migration+Guide If you make a decision to port header files, you must be convert all UNIX scecifics: - UNIX creates a new process by using fork - converting UNIX code to Win32 requires the use of new techniques replacing the use of some UNIX signals - specific in working with threads - synchronization issues - specific in users, groups and security management - specific in file and data access management - an so on. Also, you must come to know the particulars of some header files, absent in Win32, i.e.: - dirent.h - dirent_w32.h - win32.h - <pwd.h> - <sys/wait.h> - and some else Regards, Nick. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john p Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 8:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [EMBOSS] How to compile water.c Greeting wise ones,, My name is Justin from Malaysia. I've just started a postgrad research on accelerating bioinformatics applications. My current task is to analyze and profile the smith-waterman algorithm. I dont have much experience on C programming and am just picking up. I need to compile water.c in Win XP. I'm currently using Visual Studio C++ Express and Dev-C++. When trying to compile water.c, i encountered many problems... they were a lot of linking errors and stuff... Plus i need to enable profiling info (gmon.out) so that i can profile it using gprof. Maybe i got off to a bad start.. so i want to try again properly. Could you give me some guide/intructions on how to compile water.c? and where do i find the complete list of header and function files needed to compile with water.c? Please advise.
