[EMBOSS] How to compile water.c

[Воробцов Николай Вадимович]

Justin, 3 days ago I have been try in struggling with this problem.

If you have MSDN installed on your computer see in it contents explorer:

*	Win32 and COM Development
o	Development Guides
*	UNIX Application Migration Guide
*	Chapter 9: Win32 Code Conversion

Or go on link:
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=Overview+o
f+the+UNIX+Application+Migration+Guide

If you make a decision to port header files, you must be convert all UNIX
scecifics:
 - UNIX creates a new process by using fork
 - converting UNIX code to Win32 requires the use of new techniques replacing
the use of some UNIX signals
 - specific in working with threads
 - synchronization issues
 - specific in users, groups and security management
 - specific in file and data access management
 - an so on.

Also, you must come to know the particulars of some header files, absent in
Win32, i.e.:
 - dirent.h
 - dirent_w32.h
 - win32.h
 - <pwd.h>
 - <sys/wait.h>
 - and some else


Regards, Nick.

Subject: [EMBOSS] How to compile water.c

Greeting wise ones,,
 
My name is Justin from Malaysia. I've just started a postgrad research on
accelerating bioinformatics applications.
 
My current task is to analyze and profile the smith-waterman algorithm. I
dont have much experience on C programming and am just picking up. I need to
compile water.c in Win XP. I'm currently using Visual Studio C++ Express and
Dev-C++.
 
When trying to compile water.c, i encountered many problems... they were a
lot of linking errors and stuff... Plus i need to enable profiling info
(gmon.out) so that i can profile it using gprof.
Maybe i got off to a bad start.. so i want to try again properly.
 
Could you give me some guide/intructions on how to compile water.c? and where
do i find the complete list of header and function files needed to compile
with water.c?
 
Please advise.
 
Justin
