Installation problem

Hello,
I am trying to install Haploclique (on Ubuntu) and I always get the same error message:

CMake Warning at external/googletest/googletest/CMakeLists.txt:51 (project):
VERSION keyword not followed by a value or was followed by a value that
expanded to nothing.

Found Python: /usr/bin/python3.8 (found version "3.8.0") found components: Interpreter

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I would be really grateful if you could give me some advice, because I found this software perfect for my research and I would really like to find a way to use it.

Thank you so much in advance!

Dear Natasa,

I haven't been recompiling Haploclique for quite some time, so I am not entirely aware of any subtlety that might have crept recently. (We switched to using SAVAGE in our V-pipe, and are considering PredictHaplo in the future for which we will be taking over the maintenance).

As a general note:

• Haploclique is also available on bioconda as a precompiled and ready-to-use package, if you just need to experiment the software, that's the easiest way (and that's how we do it in V-pipe and most other snakemake workflows).
• The recipe I wrote for bioconda might be source of clues (Did you install all the dependencies such as e.g. jsoncpp ?)
• The circleci test that Armin wrote might be another source of clues.

Dear Ivan,
Yes, I tried SAVAGE, but unfortunately almoust all my jobs on a cluster failed and I always get the same error message. That was the reason why I wanted to switch to HaploClique and try to reconstruct global haplotypes using it instead of SAVAGE.
Maybe I do something wrong, but there are also couple of jobs which are compleated (including global hpl), and that makes me think that I didn’t make mistake in a config file or running a pipline.
The other reason is that I assumed that HaploClique is faster (according to your V-pipe article). My jobs take around 4-5 weeks to finish (using 32 thereads) and at the end a lot of them fail when it comes to global haplotype reconstruction.
If you have any advice, I would be very happy :)
Best,
Natasa
