@fdecarpentier thank you, fixed.

Dear Bitals, thank you for maintaining this package. TLDR : openmp dependency is missing

The DNA and protein alignment tools throw this error : " /opt/gslbiotech/snapgene/resources/Tools/parasail/parasail_aligner: error while loading shared libraries: libomp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " I fixed this by installing openmp through pacman.

@Kiri0 thank you for your input. About binary rpath - it's purely a cosmetic issue as the /opt/gslbiotech/snapgene/snapgene.sh (script that is ran by /usr/bin/snapgene, hence it shouldn't be renamed to snapgene.sh for differentiation and ease of CLI launch purposes, but I agree this is pretty janky) sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct directory, allowing the binary to use the libraries there. I tried to merge these 2 scripts before, but didn't get something to work and postponed this to sometime(tm). In other words - there's a lot of polishing to be done in the startup area, which I will get to eventually.

About the license install method - thanks, I see no problem with implementing this change, will do this before or with the next release, which I guess might come towards the end of the month.

Maybe rename the "snapgene" to "snapgene.sh" and use this way to install the "LICENSE" and "/usr/bin/snapgene"

install -Dm 755 "$srcdir/snapgene.sh" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/snapgene"
install -Dm 664 "$pkgdir/opt/gslbiotech/snapgene/resources/licenseAgreement.html" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE.html"

So that don't need mkdir nor chmod.

Same to snapgene-viewer.

some .so and snapgene(bin) contain rpath of "/home/centos/*" only. It may be mistake by upstream while building. 

snapgene E: Insecure RPATH '/home/centos/.conan/data/qt-for-sg/6.2.10/snapgene/stable/package/f6a1919c5d86e9463ebddc2f3d4066e8e92eadce/lib' in file ('opt/gslbiotech/snapgene/libqntp.so.1.0.0')
snapgene E: Insecure RPATH '/home/centos/.conan/data/qt-for-sg/6.2.10/snapgene/stable/package/f6a1919c5d86e9463ebddc2f3d4066e8e92eadce/lib' in file ('opt/gslbiotech/snapgene/libqwebdavlib.so.1.0.0')

This should fix it(add "patchelf" to makedepends):

    # Fix rpath which cause "Insecure RUNPATH" or "outside of a valid path"
    # Fix .so files using patchelf
    cd "${pkgdir}/opt/gslbiotech/snapgene"
    for file in *.so*; do
        PATCHELF_OUTPUT=$(patchelf --print-rpath $file)
        echo "Checking $file: $PATCHELF_OUTPUT"
    # Skip file if PATCHELF_OUTPUT does not contain CURRENT_DIR
        if [[ ! $PATCHELF_OUTPUT =~ "/home" ]]; then
            echo "Skipping $file"
            continue
        fi
    # Remove rpath if it not contain ORIGIN before
        if [[ ! $PATCHELF_OUTPUT =~ 'ORIGIN' ]]; then
            echo "Removing rpath for $file"
            patchelf --remove-rpath $file
            continue
        fi
    # Set rpath to ORIGIN if it contain ORIGIN before
        echo "Setting ORIGIN rpath for $file"
        patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN' $file
    done

    # Remove rpath of snapgene
    echo "Removing rpath for snapgene"
    patchelf --remove-rpath snapgene

same as snapgene-viewer

@Kiri0 Ezmagon has stepped down from maintaining this package, I took it over. Both Snapgene and Snapgene Viewer PKGBUILDS are on my Github: https://github.com/Bitals?tab=repositories Feel free to include a submodule in your Repo, it's not like I hold a Copyright on Snapgene the software, PKGBUILD itself is FOSS and you do not need permission to do anything with it.

Kiri0 commented on 2023-12-29 04:28 (UTC)

Hi @Ezmagon, this very helpful! and I introduce a bio-softs repo: BioArchlinux, if you are interested in, feel free to join! we are try to collect all bio-softs as much as we can.

It is possible to grab the needed rpm directrly from their CDN with this unholy variable mess (works for 5.0.7 still, they keep hosting it):

_pkgver_major=$(cut -d '.' -f 1 <<<"$pkgver")
_pkgver_major_middle=$(cut -d '.' -f 1-2 <<<"$pkgver")
source=("https://cdn.snapgene.com/downloads/SnapGene/"$_pkgver_major".x/"$_pkgver_major_middle"/"$pkgver"/snapgene_"$pkgver"_linux.rpm")

Hi @Ezmagon, would you like to merge this package with yours.

boina commented on 2020-04-27 17:02 (UTC)

Nice!! Thanks a lot. Works like a charm. I modified the PKBUILD to install the beta version 5.1 When I opened snapgene I got a warning of the font Verdana not present in the system but it works just fine without it. Perhaps you may want to add the package "ttf-ms-fonts" as an optional dependency.

By the way, I use gnome.

José.
