It provides 3D rendering, +visualization, analysis and data processing useful in computational +chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science, and +related areas. +Avogadro Libraries is a dependency required by the graphic interface +user Avogadro Application (avogadroapp). + +This slackbuild requires as needed some dependencies (autodetected) +that improve Avogadro Libraries. You can enable or disable them by +passing variables to the script +(e.g. VAR=yes|no ./avogadrolibs.SlackBuild): + +LIBMSYM=yes|no (default: yes, libmsym required) +SPGLIB=yes|no (default: yes, spglib required) +MMTF=yes|no (default: yes, mmtf-cpp required) +HDF5=yes|no (default: no, hdf5 required) +VTK=yes|no (default: no, VTK required) + +The extension Avogadro Generators (disabled by default) installs +Python input generators that can be run by the Avogadro 2 application +(avogadroapp) to generate input for various codes (Dalton, Q-Chem, +Orca, NWChem, ecc.): these scripts will be installed in a location +where the Avogadro 2 application can find them if the Plugin +Downloader is executed from the graphic interface user. +To enable the extension the dependency pybind11 is required and you +have to pass the variable PYTHON=yes to the slackbuild script: + +PYTHON=yes ./avogadrolibs.SlackBuild + +WARNING: the build enabling the support of VTK libraries works only +with VTK < 9.0 or VTK >= 9.2.6. The build against VTK 9.0.x fails. +Other versions of VTK 9.x earlier than 9.2.6 are not tested. + +Since Avogadro 2 version 1.98.0, the build requires cmake at version +3.24 or greater. This version is the latest compatible with Slackware +15.0 that has cmake remained at the version 3.21. |
