Issues Building APBS

[itaneja2]

I'm on Mac OS 10.15.16 and am trying to build APBS from source (had no luck with the binary after trying for hours). I've followed the instructions on the website, but have not had any luck (specifically, if I clone the master branch I'm able to run cmake but then make crashes; if I try the specific release 3.0, cmake crashes).

If possible, I would really appreciate if someone could add some more detailed step by step instructions regarding how to build APBS from source. This is a great piece of software, but some more documentation would go a long way.

Hi -- are you trying to build from the master branch (not recommended) or the 3.0.0 release (https://github.com/Electrostatics/apbs/releases/tag/v3.0.0)? Thank you.

I tried the master branch and the 3.0.0 release, but had difficulties with both.

We updated the code on the master branch and the documentation today.

Hopefully this helps you out.
