Hi Martin, Not yet... after I get the next Trinity release out, I'll work on updating transdecoder. I don't think it's going to meet your expectations as far as how the build goes, but it'll be better than it is now. We can certainly continue discussions before the release goes out. I'll check with you beforehand. best, ~b On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 3:42 PM, Martin MOKREJŠ <mmo...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Brian, > I just returned to this and ...
