Bio::Phylo::Beagle - wrapper around the Beagle library This is perl wrapper code that allows one to use Bio::Phylo's data handling capabilities to interface with the Beagle library for likelihood calculations: * Beagle - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syr100 * Bio::Phylo - http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-12-63 It is based on the SWIG bindings that were orginally developed for python by members of the Beagle team: http://code.google.com/p/beagle-lib/source/browse/trunk/examples/swig_python/README I developed this on a MacBook Pro with OS X snow leopard. I used the svn revision 1082 of Beagle to build against. I found that I needed to update my SWIG to version 2.0.4, with pcre (both from source). For perl I used the one that comes with snow leopard: perl, v5.10.0 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level. With that perl, there is something wrong with the way it composes its compiler and linker flags. In theory, one should be able to do `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts` to get compiler flags and `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts` for linker flags but on my machine perl's config lists a whole bunch of architectures (-arch ppc, etc.) that I don't want to target. So I had to hardcode the -I and -L flags for perl, as you can see in build.sh The pkg-config flags the Beagle returns work perfectly on my machine, by the way. The unit test script t/test_simple.t does the same computation as the python test.py script in the Beagle-lib source tree, demonstrating most of the current functionality.
