make sure the following requirements are installed and available:
if you're running ubuntu, you can get all of them by running
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y make git libpopt0 libpopt-dev g++
you can also check requirements for other distributions in the Dockerfiles used for CI
clone and compile the project
git clone https://github.com/CBDD/rDock
cd rDock
make
if you have multiple cores available, you may want to speed up the build process running make like this (replace 4 with the number of parallel processes you'd like to run)
make -j 4
for advanced compiling options, see the Makefile in this folder
once the compilation process is finished, run tests to validate the built binaries
make test
select the location for rDock binaries, library and development headers to be installed.
then set the PREFIX environment variable to point to this folder, for example ~/.local
PREFIX=~/.local make install
if PREFIX is not set, it will default to /usr, installing rDock for all users (you'll need sudo unless you're root):
sudo make install
make sure to add the installation folders to your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH if necessary, and to set the RBT_ROOT environment variable:
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export RBT_ROOT=~/.local/rDock
you may want to add these lines to your profile/configuration files like ~/.bashrc
this build system has been removed. if you really need to use it, you can find it in the frozen legacy branch here
