STRIDE was initially developed for UNIX and thoroughly tested on 3000 PDB files and many
|
||
|
|
different computers. For Macintosh I compiled STRIDE using the commercially available Metrowerks C
|
||
|
|
compiler. Two versions of the executable were prepared stored in BinHex format: mac68K.hqx for older
|
||
|
|
Macs and powmac.hqx for PowerMacintosh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE ABOUT INTERFACE: STRIDE uses unix-style command line interface. Since Mac has no command
|
||
|
|
line, I had to use the SIOUX console IO library and modify main() (file stride.c) by adding
|
||
|
|
just two lines in the very beginning:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include "stride.h"
|
||
|
|
#include <console.h> /* First modification */
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
main()....
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..............
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
argc = ccommand(&argv); /* Second modification */
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that these two lines are commented out in the source code, so if you want to recompile
|
||
|
|
the program, you will have to uncomment them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now if you click on the appropriate executable, a simple window pops up where you can type
|
||
|
|
all command line parameters exactly as under UNIX, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1acp.brk -h -f1acp.str (see documentation).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you press RETURN, the computer will freeze for 1 to 20 minutes, dependent on the PDB
|
||
|
|
structure size, and then come back to life again. The PowerMac version is 10-20 times faster
|
||
|
|
on a PowerMac than mac68K.bin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need a fancier, more Macintosh-like interface, you are more than welcome to develop
|
||
|
|
it. I am perfectly willing to cooperate, so please do not hesitate to contact me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a Mac expert and this is the first time I used a Mac for anything
|
||
|
|
other than typing text. I have no idea about Mac's architecture. For example, the current
|
||
|
|
settings of minimal and typical memory required for the program and stack size were made
|
||
|
|
essentially randomly. You might want to change these settings using the appropriate Mac
|
||
|
|
utilities. Any feedback is welcome. Also, since I do not know how to run command scripts
|
||
|
|
on Mac (is it possible?), the only way for me to test the program was to type command line
|
||
|
|
parameters for every PDB file. I did it for about 100 randomly selected PDB structures and
|
||
|
|
the results were correct. Still this is only a limited test...
