Hi,
do you have an idea what is wrong in the Makefile rules?

checking for yaggo... false

Is https://github.com/gmarcais/yaggo required? Indeed, installing it fixes the problem. Please make the configure exit if yaggo is not installed.

You should download the distribution tar ball instead. It does not have a dependency on yaggo.
https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish/releases/download/v2.2.6/jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz

[mmokrejs]

I want the source tarball. I am fetching ttps://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish/archive/v2.2.6.tar.gz . Actually, here is an update ebuild for Gentoo Linux I am merely speaking about here. ;-)

https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git/tree/sci-biology/jellyfish/jellyfish-2.2.6.ebuild

[gmarcais]

Maybe there is a policy issue with Gentoo that I do not understand here that forces you to grab the Github generated tarball.

The tarball jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz IS a source tarball. It is THE official source distribution of Jellyfish. It contains all the normal development files that one except in an autoconf/automake package, like thousand of others. I am sure many (most?) ebuild in Gentoo work from that type of tarball.

The Github generated tarball is a copy of the git tree. It is redundant in my opinion, and it is not what the source distribution of an autoconf/automake package looks like (it has more dependencies for one).

[mmokrejs]

OK, I understand now. The https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish/releases/download/v2.2.6/jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz URL indeed unpacks into ./jellyfish-2.2.6/, whcih is good. I still see a configure check for yaggo but make doe snot break later. So, you can close this issue. Thank you. (am pushing out the changes now).

Now same error appears to me

make: *** No rule to make target 'false', needed by 'sub_commands/count_main_cmdline.hpp'. Stop.

I don't know how to solve.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4

[gmarcais]

@enricorox Are you working from the jellyfish-2.3.0.tar.gz file, as explained above? Here is a short Dockerfile as an example how to compile and that it should work with Ubuntu 20.04. If it doesn't work for you, please send a longer bug report (URL of source downloaded, command run, platform, etc.).

FROM ubuntu:20.04

RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y build-essential yaggo wget

RUN wget https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish/releases/download/v2.3.0/jellyfish-2.3.0.tar.gz && \
    tar zxf jellyfish-2.3.0.tar.gz && \
    cd jellyfish-2.3.0 && \
    ./configure && \
    make && \
    make install && \
    ldconfig

Then, to compile and test:

> sudo docker build -t jellyfish .
... lots of output ...

I've figured out I was working on JellyFish-2 master branch (https://github.com/zippav/Jellyfish-2).

Version 2.3.0 works like a charm even with source downloaded with git clone, thank you.
