error when installing GW

hi,

I tried to follow the instruction to install GW in my environment, but it failed with the following error:

$ make
gcc -g -Wall -std=c++17  -fno-common -dynamic -fwrapv -O3 -DNDEBUG -D LINUX -g -I./include -I./src -I. -I./gw -I/usr/local/include -I./lib/skia -c src/themes.cpp -o src/themes.o

compilation terminated.
Makefile:86: recipe for target 'src/themes.o' failed

Do you have any hints to solve the problem? Thanks.

Hi @sujunhao ,
You will need to install glfw3 separately https://www.glfw.org/download (usually with root permissions). I am trying to get gw onto conda at the moment which should resolve this issue, if you dont mind waiting

Hi @kcleal,
A conda installation option will be more appropriate for me, as I don't have root privilege. I will try to reinstall the tool when the conda version is ready.
Thanks.

GW is now available on the bioconda channel 🙂

thanks @kcleal,

GW is well-functional in my environment now,
