cannot copy samtools-0.1.19/samtools to PATH

[atonidas]

I am installing Samtools and I got this message:

$ tar jxvf samtools-0.1.19.tar.bz2
$ cd samtools-0.1.19
$ make
$ cd
$ cp samtools-0.1.19/samtools $HOME/bin
cp: cannot stat `samtools-0.1.19/samtools': No such file or directory

I checked in the /samtools-0.1.19/ directory but there are nothing like "samtools" file but "samtools.1".

I am using msys on window, would you mind giving me some advices?

Thank you so much

Do NOT use samtools-0.0.19 at this time. It is ancient (in NGS age) and deprecated.

Unless you must use it for some old software. Even then keep/use the latest version.

I already tried with the latest version of "samtools" which is "samtools-1.4.1" but I still got that message

[GenoMax]

Are you getting an error when compiling samtools?

[atonidas]

Are you getting an error when compiling samtools?

Do you mean that do I got any error when running make command for samtools?

[GenoMax]

That is correct.

[atonidas]

That is correct.

I think I got this error :

Attached file is the whole compiling process.

[GenoMax]

Since you are getting an error the program has not actually compiled.

Are you using linux shell on Windows 10 or a cygwin/VM environment?

Install the regex.h for MinGW from here (probably in /usr/include).

Install the regex.h for MinGW from here (probably in /usr/include).

I have just installed linux and I could install samtools without any problem anymore, thank you so much for your help.
