Repository files navigation

The source code for building the mkhssp and hsspconv programs is bundled in the hssp project. The mkhssp executable creates stockholm files with hssp annotations in them. The hsspconv executable converts stockholm to the original hssp format.

Development

The provided Dockerfile sets up a development environment. Build the docker image using the command docker build -t hssp . and run the image in a container, with a local source copy and data files mounted, with the command docker run -v /home/jon/projects/hssp:/app -v /mnt/extra:/srv/data -it hssp.

Download and installation instructions

Source code archives are available here.

Compiling hssp programs

Pre-requisites

Compiler:

  • Must support at least the c++ 11 standard.

System libraries:

  • libzeep version >= 3.0 (for mkhssp --fetch-dbrefs only)
  • libboost version 1.48 - 1.78
  • libz
  • libbz2
  • autoconf
  • automake
  • autotools-dev

Instructions

Download and uncompress the hssp source code archive (version >= 2.2.6):

wget https://github.com/cmbi/hssp/archive/hssp-?.?.?.tar.gz
tar -zxvf hssp-?.?.?.tar.gz
cd hssp-?.?.?

Configure and build the hssp executables:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

To build only one executable of the hssp project, e.g. mkhssp, type:

make mkhssp

To test the mkhssp executable type:

./mkhssp

To add the executables to /usr/local/bin type:

sudo make install

Contact

In 2013, maintenance of hssp has been taken over from Maarten Hekkelman by Coos Baakman. If you want to provide feedback, either send an e-mail to hssp.cmbi@radboudumc.nl or have a look at existing issues (if necessary, create a new issue).
