MUSCLE v3.0 source code README ------------------------------ http://www.drive5.com/muscle This version of MUSCLE was built and tested on two platforms: Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 8.0. On Windows, I used Microsoft Visual C++ .Net, which I find to be the best C++ compile / edit / test environment I've tried on any platform. The Microsoft project file is muscle.vcproj. The Linux make file is Makefile. This is a very simple-minded make file (because I am a Linux development novice), so should be easy to understand. By default, it uses shared libraries, but I found this to give problems when copying between different Linux versions. The fix was to use the linker flag -lm static (commented out), which gives a much bigger but more portable binary. The posted binary was linked with static libraries. The source code was not written to be maintained by anyone but me, so the usual apologies and caveats apply. Bob Edgar, January 2004
