Nanopolish version doesn't exist on MacOS

[jameshadfield]

We currently require nanopolish=0.12.5 but on MacOS the most recently available version is 0.11.3.

Unsure what the best solution is:

• Mandate the the repo is linux only
• Allow 0.11.3 (nanopolish=0.11.3|0.12.5)
• Update the available MacOS version to 0.12.5 (in which case i'll make an issue there)

I was running into this whilst testing the fieldbioinformatics pipeline on OSX

The pipeline requires nanopolish features that aren't available in 0.11.3 - so your first option is the best solution currently.

I had been ignoring this and just installing nanopolish from source whilst testing, but we are going to need a fix. Any idea what the issue is with getting the latest nanopolish for mac into conda? I'm guessing there is one! I can have a stab at it next week maybe

@jts looked at this a bit, not sure how far he got?

[jts]

Not very far unfortunately - the conda maintainers changed the nanopolish build script for 0.12.0 so this will take a bit of work. I can help but won't have a ton of time today

Does anyone know what version of MacOS conda builds against? I'm on 10.15.3 and hitting this header error with the conda version of gcc (4.8):

[nickloman]

Is it 10.9?

for those that want to see me struggle, I'm trying to fix this here: https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/pull/21282

[jmarshall]

This will be fixed by bioconda/bioconda-recipes#21330.

[jts]

This is great @jmarshall, thanks so much for fixing this.

[will-rowe]

Thanks @jmarshall - that's brilliant! And thank you too @jts

[nickloman]

I believe this is now fixed.
