The source code for building the 'mkdssp' program is bundled in the 'dssp' project. The DSSP executable is 'mkdssp'.
The provided Dockerfile sets up a development environment. Build the docker
image using the command docker build -t dssp .
and run the image in a
container, with a local source copy and data files mounted, with the command
docker run -v /home/jon/projects/dssp:/app -v /mnt/extra:/srv/data -it dssp
.
Pre-compiled old versions of DSSP are available from the old repository. New source code archives are available here.
Compiler:
- Must support at least the c++ 11 standard.
System libraries:
- libboost version >= 1.48
- libz
- libbz2
- autoconf
- automake
- autotools-dev
This requires docker >= 1.12.3 and docker-compose >= 1.8.1.
From the repository, run:
docker-compose build
Then, to run mkdssp:
docker-compose run dssp ./mkdssp
Download and uncompress the dssp source code archive (version >= 2.2.6):
wget https://github.com/cmbi/dssp/archive/dssp-?.?.?.tar.gz
tar -zxvf dssp-?.?.?.tar.gz
cd dssp-?.?.?
Configure and build the dssp executables:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
To build only one executable of the dssp project, e.g. mkdssp
, type:
make mkdssp
To test the mkdssp
executable type:
./mkdssp
To add the executables to /usr/local/bin type:
sudo make install
