rDock

Quick start guide (new build system)

Requirements

make sure the following requirements are installed and available:

• make
• a c++ compiler (g++ by default)
• popt and development headers (libpopt0 and libpopt-dev in ubuntu)
• git (optional if you download the code directly)

if you're running ubuntu, you can get all of them by running

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y make git libpopt0 libpopt-dev g++

you can also check requirements for other distributions in the Dockerfiles used for CI

Compilation

clone and compile the project

git clone https://github.com/CBDD/rDock
cd rDock
make

if you have multiple cores available, you may want to speed up the build process running make like this (replace 4 with the number of parallel processes you'd like to run)

make -j 4

for advanced compiling options, see the Makefile in this folder

Testing

once the compilation process is finished, run tests to validate the built binaries

make test

Installation

select the location for rDock binaries, library and development headers to be installed.

then set the PREFIX environment variable to point to this folder, for example ~/.local

PREFIX=~/.local make install

if PREFIX is not set, it will default to /usr, installing rDock for all users (you'll need sudo unless you're root):

sudo make install

make sure to add the installation folders to your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH if necessary, and to set the RBT_ROOT environment variable:

export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export RBT_ROOT=~/.local/rDock

you may want to add these lines to your profile/configuration files like ~/.bashrc

Old build system (deprecated):

this build system has been removed. if you really need to use it, you can find it in the frozen legacy branch here
