Re: [Seqan-dev] Using seqan in stock Xcode project

["Weese, David" <weese@campus.fu-berlin.de>]

Hi again,

I forgot to mention that in general it is possible to use SeqAn in a Cocoa application. I successfully created a (very) simple SAM Viewer for Mac OS X that allows you to scroll through a multiple read alignment. It simply was a proof of concept.
I started with a fresh Cocoa application and added the core/include and extras/include paths. It is also necessary to let cmake create these ..._generated_forwards.h headers. This can be done by creating a makefile (or Xcode) project with cmake and compile an arbitrary app, e.g. make alignment (see "Getting started" in the Wiki). The forwards are generated in core/include and extras/include below the CMakeCache.txt directory and needs to be added to the GCC search path also. For me the include paths are:

seqan-trunk/core/include/
seqan-trunk/extras/include/
seqan-trunk/build/core/include/
seqan-trunk/build/extras/include/

were created forwards via:

cd seqan-trunk
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
make alignment

I just tried to recompile my Cocoa app and it works flawlessly under Snow Leopard, GCC 4.2 and the svn trunk. Tomorrow I check whether it works under Lion also.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Dave
