Bug #116702 for Bio-SamTools: Re: Bio-SamTools-1.43 is confused about what various SAMtools build dirs supply where - and so am I

Bit more info gleaned about this In the bam.h file that's in the top build directory for samtools-1.3, I read ---8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---- @discussion Notes: 1. qname is zero tailing and core.l_qname includes the tailing '\0'. 2. l_qseq is calculated from the total length of an alignment block on reading or from CIGAR. 3. cigar data is encoded 4 bytes per CIGAR operation. 4. seq is nybble-encoded according to bam_nt16_table. */ // typedef struct { ... } bam1_t; // NOTE htslib version doesn't have l_aux; use bam_get_l_aux(b) instead #ifndef SAMTOOLS_HTSLIB_SUPPRESS_HACKS // NOTE htslib also renames data_len to l_data; this macro may help or hinder ---8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---- so the missing member really isn't there by design. So which version of SAMtools should Bio-SamTools-1.43 be compiled against ?
