Unable to Build bowtie on osx-arm64

[akikuno]

I submitted a Pull Request to make bowtie installable on osx-arm64, but it failed.

#49281

I couldn't determine the exact cause, but it seems that the issue might be due to cpuid only supporting x86.

The cpuid is found in processor_support.h of bowtie (link), but despite having the exact same code in bowtie2 (link), bowtie2 builds without issues on osx-arm64(link). Therefore, the cause might be something else. I couldn't determine the exact reason.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I would appreciate any advice you could provide.

Hi,

You will need to make some changes to the Makefile.
For example at https://github.com/BenLangmead/bowtie/blob/master/Makefile#L74 there is a comparison of uname -m against aarch64 that is for Linux ARM64. To make it work for OSX you will need to add or arm64

Thank you so much for your instruction!

There was a Pull Request in the bowtie repository regarding exactly this matter.

BenLangmead/bowtie#131

I hope this one will be merged 🙏

You can also do make POPCNT_CAPABILITY=0 for ARM64 in build.sh

@martin-g

I've added make POPCNT_CAPABILITY=0 in build.sh and All checks have passed.

#49326

Thank you so much!

Closing since it looks like this was resolved in build.sh and there's an issue open to fix it upstream
