Can we bring dashing to bioconda? #31

Closed SilasK closed 4 years ago

dnbaker commented 4 years ago

A previous version was, under the name dash, but it would be worth merging it in. I haven't integrated any bioconda packages before, so I'll need to learn how.

The other issue is the CPU backend -- whether it uses SSE4.1, AVX2, or AVX512. We currently release 3 statically linked binaries (one for each), but if we can count on gcc 5.4 or newer, it's probably doable. (And it would automatically select the best version.)

Seems it doesn't work perfectly on macOS.

$ dashing mkdist --help
Dashing version: v0.4.0
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error
Abort trap: 6

mkdist needs some specific work, but that's not a primary use case. I'll give it a look when I'm done traveling -- are sketch/dist running?

SilasK commented 4 years ago

The help message is not completely clear.

But yes distilled works.

Apparently libc++ doesn't emit the runtime error message, while libstdc++ does. I'll modify the RUNTIME_ERROR macro to emit the exception::what() string. Thanks for letting me know. This will be addressed in the next release.

For example, running this under gcc emits:

Dashing version: v0.4.0-3-g9517
**terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  [src/mkdistmain.cpp:int bns::mkdist_main(int, char**)11] required: --multik <outpref>,<start>,<end> [optional: ,<step>]**

I'll close this for now unless there are any objections, but I'll take a look at updating the bioconda rule for version 0.4+ sometime in the next few weeks. Thanks!
