GMV

GMV is a comparative genome browser for Murasaki. GMV visualizes anchors from Murasaki, annotation data from GenBank files, and expression / prediction score from GFF files.

GMV works on any platform which has GTK+-2.x. Currently, MacOS X, FreeBSD and Linux are supported. Also, experimental build for Microsoft Windows is available.

- You may need to install XQuartz if GMV doesn't work.
Largeseq build supports 2Gbp+ sequences such as Human genome, and Microbial build has smaller RAM footprint.

Requirements †

Supported Platforms
- MacOS X
- FreeBSD
- Linux (maybe...) with sufficient version of GTK+.
- Win32 with Cygwin or MinGW/MSYS (and any cross compiling environments with MiNGW libraries)
Dependencies:
- GNU g++ 4.0 (other C++ compilers may work, but I'm not sure)
- Latest GTK+ 2.x, which can be detected by: pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
  - Recent GTK+-Quartz (MacOS X native) may be broken
- GNU make (BSD make can't build GMV)

Build it! †

Then unpack gmv.tar.gz and edit Gmv.conf.

$ tar xzf gmv.tar.gz
$ cd gmv
$ vi Gmv.conf

Important lines are:

CC = ccache g++-4.0
CC_WINDOWS = g++

# CFLAGS += -DUSE_GLIB_REGEX

Set CC to your C++ compiler (if you're trying to build on MinGW, set CC_WINDOWS instead.) Also, you may have to uncomment CFLAGS += -DUSE_GLIB_REGEX, if your system doesn't have regex.h (I believe most Unix based system have this, but at least, MinGW doesn't.)

Then, just type

$ make

and you'll get the binary "gmv" in current directory. Move it anywhere you like (maybe somewhere in your PATH) and launch gmv.

To get stripped (and Universal one on MacOS X) binary, type

$ make RELEASE=yes

Stripped binary will be much smaller (and maybe faster) than normal build.
