Build error Breakdancer 1.3.6

Question

[balli.dave]

I am trying to install Breakdancer v1.3.6 for analysis of structural variants. I am receiving an error message when I follow the installation instructions from the github repository. What should I do?

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/genome/breakdancer.git
...

$ cd breakdancer
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
...
-- Build files have been written to: .../breakdancer/build

$ make

This is fixed in the latest development version of breakdancer. If you're actually trying to build v1.3.6 (by doing git checkout v1.3.6), then set the environment variable CXXFLAGS to -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1. For bash:

git clone ...
...
git checkout v1.3.6
export CXXFLAGS=-DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -D...
make
export
