SIM_MX is a program that simulates diffraction images (Diederichs K. (2009) Simulation of X-ray frames from macromolecular crystals using a ray-tracing approach. Acta Cryst. D65, 535-42). It may be used e.g. to check the proper functioning of a data reduction program. A binary Linux/OSX version of the program may be obtained from the author upon request.

Building CBFlib

I leave this note because some workaround was needed to compile cbflib on OSX Lion.

  1. Get tar ball from Official website.
  2. Edit Makefile
    • Add $(SRC)/cbff.c to SOURCE (around line 483 in CBFlib-0.9.2.2)
  3. Run
CBF_DONT_USE_LONG_LONG=1 make all

NOTE: Users do not have to build cbflib for themselves.
