Installing a Coot stand-alone pre-compiled intel binary

Coot-0.4.1 (January 03, 2008)

Intel -- works on both 10.4 and 10.5

md5sum: d74f79ced6ab9294b3ec37dc0de5dbef

Older:

Coot 0.4-pre-2-622 (Dec 30, 2007)

Intel -- works on both 10.4 and 10.5

md5sum: 81561ef7cbac674084247fc444c89d4b

Directions:

For the most recent coot-0.5pre, follow the directions on its page.

For the 0.4.x releases, ...

If you unpack this at root level, it will go into /usr/local/coot, i.e.,

mv coot*.tgz /.
cd /
tar xvfz coot*.tgz
rm coot*.tgz

This was compiled in /usr/local/coot on 10.4 intel. To invoke it, first define the following function (bash or zsh):

function coot { COOT_REFMAC_LIB_DIR='/usr/local/coot/share/coot/lib'  PATH=/usr/local/coot/bin:$PATH  /usr/local/coot/bin/coot "$@" ; }

and then just invoke with

coot

If you use tcsh, you can't define a function, so try an alias such as

alias coot   "setenv COOT_REFMAC_LIB_DIR /usr/local/coot/share/coot/lib ; setenv PATH /usr/local/coot/bin:$PATH ; /usr/local/coot/bin/coot "  

I compiled it using fink's tools and then tried to remove as much cruft as possible. It is meant to be stand-alone.

It works on 10.4 and 10.5 (at least when I tested it).

If you absolutely insist on moving it

Edit and invoke with this coot.zsh shell script




Coot Auto-Opener

You can download my CootAutoOpener applet. It allows you to double-click an icon to open the version of coot installed in /usr/local/coot/bin/coot, i.e., the above stand-alone installs. It should also allow you to drag a file to the icon and open it that way, loading the file, and it will run coot from the directory in which that file is located. I made it with a shell-script wrapper called Platypus.
