Fwd: Flexbar 32-bit builds and SeqAn 1.4

[Tony Travis <ajt@minke.ukfsn.org>]

Hi, Andreas.

Johannes has asked me about 32-bit support for Flexbar.

AFAIK, 32-bit support for tbb would be provided automatically by a tbb
dependency of our Debian source package so we just need to enable 32-bit
architecture in the control file. I've downloaded the upstream sources
of Flexbar 2.34 and will build a new deb locally to try it out.

Please advise me and Johannes about using SeqAn 1.4 for the package.

Thanks,

  Tony.

Hi Tony,

it is still a little bit unclear to me what I should do for Linux 32-bit
support that Andreas and you talked of. As far as I understood, you want
me to change the CMakeLists.txt file in the src directory of Flexbar to
include a part in the conditional that specifies the link directories
also in case of linux32 platform. This would imply to include also tbb
library files for linux32 in the lib directory. This shouldn't be a
problem, but I wonder if I got it right?

I do not understand yet why that helps to support linux32 on your side,
as I remove this conditional for platform dependant selection of tbb
library files anyway for the source release, and as far as I know the
tbb library files coming with Flexbar are not used for packaging. What
am I missing here?

By the way, the new SeqAn 1.4 release is out. I started to test it and
so far everything looks good. I observed a strong increase in processing
speed with the new library ;) There are still some points to check for
me before I target complete inclusion and new binaries. I plan to get it
done this week and will pass you a line as soon as it is finished. Once
the new release is also available in Debian, one could use the SeqAn 1.4
release instead of the version included in Flexbar.

Best regards
Johannes
