ChromoPainter for Windows (GUI only)

Windows Installer.
Windows Zip file.
 
Windows users should use the installer above, which includes the manual and example (linked from the program menu in "ChromoPainter GUI"). An executable version is provided in case you don't have install permissions.

You may also compile from source; you will need wxwidgets, a compiler such as MinGW and (optionally) a build environment such as Code::Blocks.

correct version)
cd chromopainter-0.0.4

Be sure to download the Manual below!

Mac / other (GUI and Command line)

Compilation on the Mac works as for Linux (reported for 10.6, command-line only). Requirements (thanks to John Didion!):

• MacPorts from macports.org.
• GCC: sudo port install gcc46
• GSL: sudo port install gsl-devel

A current binary is available from Mac Binaries (with compilation notes. Doesn't work for you?). Currently, chromopainter and chromocombine command-line versions are available, with more work required for fineSTRUCTURE and the GUIs.

If you have problems, please let me know at: dan.lawson@bristol.ac.uk and I'll do my best to get things working.

All users

The ChromoPainter Manual is applicable for all users.  The GUI and binary versions contains an example.

Further information

Additional binaries for Linux built under alternative build environments can be provided on request, but there is no guarantee we will be able to build for your environment.
