Delila On The Mac

On this page I will put notes about moving the Delila system to the Mac OS X from Apple Computer, Inc.. Since OS X is a version of Unix, this should be pretty easy.

• Atchange on the Mac

• Yair Benita (ybenita@mac.com) used CodeWarrior to set up sequence logos on the Mac. This is what he did:

  My aim was to automate the the RNA sequence logos in the same way it is
  done at:
  http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/~gorodkin/appl/slogo.html
  
  On this page they give a list of scripts, written for Unix nawk. These
  scripts take a file with the RNA aligned sequences and generate a symvec
  file for makelogo. The scripts work perfectly on macos X, you only have to
  change #/usr/bin/nawk to #/usr/bin/awk.
  
  As for compiling makelogo.p:
  
  I have a pascal compiler in CodeWarrior 7. I can compile it with no errors
  for classic or carbon but it uses CodeWarrior's SIOUX (simple input
  output...). I wanted to use the macos X terminal and therefore I compiled
  makelogo.c in Project builder. These are the steps:
  
  1. Make a new standard tool C project in project builder.
  2. Copy the file makelogo.c to main.c of the new project.
  3. Download the p2c.h file and add it to the project files.
  4. Build the application.
  
  It compiles with no errors. I was able to run it with your demo files and
  generate the postscript file with the sequence logos. I did not test it
  thoroughly but since I will be away for 2 weeks I wanted to write it to you.
  
  This is all quite straight forward, I hope it helps. Let me know if you want
  any of the binaries.
  
  Thanks for everything.

  I view the postscript with MacGhostView 2.5.9 (works very well).
