problem with compilation

[max578]

I am attemting to install fastq_pair locally and my system doesn't allow cmake version higher than 3.0.2. As a result, it seems imposible to compile fastq_pair: "CMake error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.6 or higher required. You are running version 3.0.2"

Any alternative ways to compile?

For such a simple CMakeLists.txt you should be able to just modify the following line : cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6) Alternatively, just run the following command in build : gcc ../*.c -o fastq_pair Then install the executable in /bin.

Just wanted to point out that I had to add the -std=gnu99 flag for it to work on my machine, using gcc 4.8.5 on CENTOS 7 in case this is useful to anyone.

i.e. # gcc -std=gnu99 ../*.c -o fastq_pair

Terrific, thank you.

You may need to amend this command slightly since test_gzip.c also has a main() method.

This alternate command:

gcc -std=gnu99   ../main.c ../robstr.c ../fastq_pair.c ../is_gzipped.c  -o fastq_pair

will compile the code
