we can't really package it if a clone is needed to add in easel, find a better solution

the copy of the hmmer src should be a force copy

Hello Mustafa-guler,

Thanks for making this binding, so for usage all we need is to just call the hmmsearch function right. A little bit confused for how to use it in rust.

Thanks,

Hi again,

For completism's sake, I noticed that at least

p7_SEARCH_SEQS
p7_LOCAL

Are still missing as constants from 0.3.0. These are in src/hmmer.h

Can they be added to libhmmer-sys? Maybe this points to a larger set of missing consts?
Thanks, ben

Hi,

Updating 0.2 to 0.3 I noticed a lot of the constants don't have the right type when e.g. libhmmer_sys::eslEOF is u32, when code accepting that (e.g. the return status of libhmmer_sys::p7_hmmfile_Read) is i32.

Is there some reason to make them u32? It isn't particularly ergonomic to scatter as i32 everywhere, though this isn't the worst thing in the world of course.

Thanks, ben

Hi,

This library seems like exactly what I'm looking for - thanks very much for setting it up.

I had a crack at using it, but found some small holes e.g. easel/easel.h:#define eslERRBUFSIZE 128 is not included in the library. Would it be straightforward to include the easel headers too?

I also had a crack at making a more idiomatic Rust interface building upon your good work here, though I have not had time to get very far just yet (and may or may not continue work on it, depending on how the science goes). https://github.com/wwood/hmmer-rs - I wonder if there are other similar code or examples that might be useful? Contributions there most welcome.

Thanks,
ben
