libcif++

This library contains code to work with mmCIF and PDB files.

Requirements

The code for this library was written in C++17. You therefore need a recent compiler to build it. For the development gcc 9.3 and clang 9.0 have been used.

Other requirements are:

• GNU make version 4.1 or higher.
• Boost libraries, at least version 1.71
• mrc, a resource compiler that allows including data files into the executable making them easier to install. Strictly this is optional, but at the expense of a lot of functionality.

Building

Simply configure, make and make install.

There's one configure flag that might be of interest: if you specify DEBUG=1 the make will create a debug version by default. Otherwise, you can run make with DEBUG=1 to create a debug version.
