On Windows Git Bash: athr.lib is "Program Files (x86)" not "Program Files" so Bgen build fails #8

On Windows, I got Git Bash re-installed and got cmake, zstd, zlib, and athr installed. athr was installed with curl -fsSL https://git.io/JerYI | GITHUB_USER=horta GITHUB_PROJECT=almosthere bash But athr went to "C:\Program Files (x86)\athr" instead of "C:\Program Files\athr", so curl -fsSL https://git.io/JerYI | GITHUB_USER=limix GITHUB_PROJECT=bgen bash failed.

A work around was to copy the athr directory to "C:\Program Files\athr"

Weird. Have you checked whether the installed athr is indeed 64bits? Is your Windows 64 bits?

You can also set install prefix:

curl -fsSL https://git.io/JerYI | GITHUB_USER=horta GITHUB_PROJECT=almosthere INSTALL_PREFIX="/path/to/program/files" bash

Here is confirmation that athr and Windows are 64 bit. 64Annotation 2020-04-06 091753

So it is a bug indeed. (Maybe cmake is 32 bits?) I'm installing Parallels here with Windows so I can debug those problems properly. Thanks a lot!

Now I remember the problem: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/18312 Cmake sometimes decide to install 64-bits programs into "Program Files (x86)". They have not decided yet what to do with that, so I will just recommend always specifying the installation prefix, like I posted above.
