Failed to install epacts following "sudo make"

[DusanP]

Hi all,

I have the following error while trying to install epacts (WSL Linux for windows) after running sudo make:

pEmmax.h:656:3: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]                                         656 |   }                                                                                                                   |   ^                                                                                                             make[2]: *** [Makefile:788: pEmmax.o] Error 1                                                                           make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dpetrovi/EPACTS/src'                                                                  make[1]: *** [Makefile:419: all-recursive] Error 1                                                                      make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dpetrovi/EPACTS'                                                                      make: *** [Makefile:351: all] Error 2

Thank you for your kind help

Hi

Too late to help probably but maybe someone else can use it:

Needed to reinstall everything after a system update,  landed here as well again :-). Failed install with all sorts of errors. 

Someone with IT experience pointed me towards the solution:

The easiest way is to see if there is a docker Image available install that and run it:

There is a docker image available here :

hub.docker.com/u/statgen/

 so install docker and then just

docker run statgen/epacts:dev

once that is done once simply run the epacts commands in a similar fashion

docker run statgen/epacts:dev single -emmax ....

Best
