Hey there

I'm running into trouble compiling with Cygwin
I've looked at "Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login"
but no specifics were given in terms of compiling.

My trouble is :
[code]$ cmake ./
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:268 (install):
  install Library TARGETS given no DESTINATION!


-- Could NOT find OpenCL (missing:  OPENCL_LIBRARIES OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find Freetype (missing:  FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
[/code]

Now I assume OpenCl and freetype aren't prerequisite for compiling HYPHY, therefore I need to define DESTINATION.
Can you help with this please?

I've tried putting a source path then destination path with cmake ($cmake ./ /source/to/hyphy/ /destination/wanted)
but this doesn't work, both are treated as sources

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for making us aware of this issue.

The issue is with the "hyphy_mp" target inside of the cmake file.

I will go ahead and file a bug for this.

In the meantime, I've attached a CMake file that did work for me. (I simply removed all references to the hyphy_mp target).

Please be aware that we mostly test our source code on *nix based machines.

You can find a precompiled executable for windows here:

Hey thanks Steven :)

I'm trying to create an executable accessible from the command-line for use by another program (like MEGA does), hence the cygwin environment.

When I use the CMakeList.txt you provided (hyphy_mp commented out, I get this error:

Code (]$ cmake ./
-- Could NOT find OpenCL (missing:  OPENCL_LIBRARIES OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find Freetype (missing:  FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:548 (set_property):
  set_property could not find TARGET hyphy_mp.  Perhaps it has not yet been
  created.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
[/code):

So I removed the hyphy_mp TARGET. That compiled fine, but when I try make HYPHYMP I get a further error when  Building CXX object CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/src/core/calcnode2.cpp.o [code]some scope problems CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/build.make:287: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/src/core/calcnode2.cpp.o' failed make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/src/core/calcnode2.cpp.o] Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:249: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/all' failed make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/all] Error 2 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:257: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/rule' failed make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/HYPHYMP.dir/rule] Error 2 Makefile:228: recipe for target 'HYPHYMP' failed make: *** [HYPHYMP] Error 2

I have compiled it successfully using Linux Mint, but I want a Windows compatible command line version.

Any help is greatly appreciated as always  :)

Hi Christopher,

In order for HyPhy to be compiled on Windows, a specific preprocessor directive needs to be set. This flag is needed because there are unix specific system calls such as getpid() in parts of the codebase.

Unfortunately, this same preprocessor directive will automatically compile HyPhy to be run in a GUI setting. 

In this scenario, I think the only reassurance I can provide is that we are working on a new version of HyPhy, and I can see if we can ensure that a cli version of HyPhy will be possible on Windows.

Hey Steven

So is there no way to compile a version under cygwin, for use on Windows? I thought that's what MEGA does?

I think I may just shift development to linux then.

Thanks for your help and hopefully a cli version is available soon :)
