I tried to get the latest version from github and release 1.4.1 of breakdancer to run but all my attempts failed with this compile error:

I followed the INSTALL.md file. Make of samtools works. cmake of breakdancer works. Make of breakdancer gives the following error:

/home/william/Downloads/breakdancer-1.4.1/src/lib/breakdancer/RegionLimitedBamReader.hpp:23:5: error: ‘bam_iter_t’ does not name a type

It seems like the a iterator variable is used of type ‘bam_iter_t' which is not a known type. See the part of code below. bam_iter_t is also not defined in the object that are included.

\#include "IBamReader.hpp"
\#include "BamReader.hpp"

\#include <boost/format.hpp>
\#include <stdexcept>
\#include <string>

template<typename Filter>
class RegionLimitedBamReader : public BamReader<Filter> {
public:
RegionLimitedBamReader(std::string const& path, char const* region);
~RegionLimitedBamReader();

int next(bam1_t* entry);

int tid() const { return _tid; }
int beg() const { return _beg; }
int end() const { return _end; }

protected:
std::string _region;
bam_index_t* _index;
bam_iter_t _iter;
int _tid;
int _beg;
int _end;
};
