Are there build instructions anywhere? https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/sourcecode.html is rather discouraging, and doesn't contain a "Build" section. GNUmakefile prints "there is no default make target". Is there a script or a makefile that builds it? Thanks, Yuri

The target to build the whole shebang is build-from-scratch (i.e. “make build-from-scratch”). Of course, this won’t work as mentioned in the source code page because we don’t provide the proprietary MSMS surfacing library. If you go into the “foreign” subdirectory and edit that GNUmakefile to remove “msms” from the SUBDIRS macro, then maybe you could get things to compile. My guess is that it would still be a whole bunch of work. Of course, then you won’t be able to generate surfaces even if you get things to compile. You don’t say why you want to recompile. Are you trying to get it to run on some platform other than Windows/Linux/Mac? If you describe what you want to achieve, perhaps we could suggest some less arduous method of achieving it… —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

I want to create the chimera port for FreeBSD. Even a proprietary msms library, that is in C language, and is distributed as a static library for linux, should easily work. Yuri
We used to have an experimental FreeBSD port many, many moons ago, so it may not be too hard to get the code to compile once you have the right compiler tools. Getting the right compiler tools/flags could be a real headache though. —Eric

I found the record that the FreeBSD port has been created in Nov 2006: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2006-November/001058.html And I found the record that it has been deleted in Dec 2008: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/removepost1-3.html However, it hasn't been checked into the Chimera repository or the FreeBSD ports repository, and googling doesn't find it either. Does Chimera project have it somewhere? Thanks, Yuri
The FreeBSD port never got past the “snapshot” stage (what we used to call daily builds), so didn’t get archived in our “Old Releases” page. I’m just saying that we didn’t take out any code changes we made for FreeBSD, so there may be less work getting it to compile than otherwise. —Eric

Where are the release source tarballs? https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/sourcecode.html only mentions the subversion URL. Yuri
Hi Yuri, There are no source tarballs. You can use options to ‘svn checkout’ to get a version of the source as of any particular date. The Free BSD version of Chimera was released 1 November 2006, so you might want to get a version of the source from then or a little thereafter. The long list of caveats from the source code download web page still apply. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
