issue with Autotools about arcs HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, @dcopetti. There's no need to run ./autogen.sh. Download the released tarball arcs-1.0.5.tar.gz from the Releases page https://github.com/bcgsc/arcs/releases. Here's a direct link: https://github.com/bcgsc/arcs/releases/download/v1.0.5/arcs-1.0.5.tar.gz
Extract the tarball and then run…

curl -LO https://github.com/bcgsc/arcs/releases/download/v1.0.5/arcs-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar xf arcs-1.0.5.tar.gz
cd arcs-1.0.5
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/arcs && make && make install
PREFIX=$HOME/opt/arcs/bin:$PATH
ARCS --version

Even better is to install ARCS using a package manager such as Homebrew (on macOS or Linux) or Bioconda. See http://www.birollab.ca/software.html

Install Homebrew on macOS: https://brew.sh
Install Homebrew on Linux: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux
Then run brew install brewsci/bio/arcs

from arcs.

Bioconda does not currently have a formula for ARCS.
@bcgsc/btl It'd be pretty straight forward to add. If someone would like to gain experience adding a recipe to Bioconda, I can point you in the right direction.

Here's the recipe for ABySS.
