Kalign for Windows

Question

Hello, everyone.

I'd like to know if anybody has an executable file of Kalign tool for Windows, since it is, nativally, for Unix.

Thanks!

This is the Strap the post is referring to. I really have no idea if it will work, but it is worth a try.

A better solution is to install Linux. If you have Windows 10, you can install the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Thanks for your answer.

I've exausted search for it. I know Strap.

But I'm developing a tool for Windows that, at certain point, calls kalign. That's why I'd need an executable file.

But again, thanks for the response.

That post says once you use kalign within Strap, it downloads it. Did you try?

[anderson.riciamorim]

Actually, it uses a dll of kalign. I don't even know how...

I tried the approach I suggested, and discovered the url from which Strap downloads binaries:

http://www.bioinformatics.org/strap/Binaries/

Sadly, in doing so, I also discovered 1) there isn't a kalign windows compile there, and 2) aparently, for some programs Strap downloads the sources and uses Cygwin to compile locally.
