Building this program from source requires the GCLib source code library. The make command should automatically fetch the latest gclib version from the repository if no ../gclib directory is found.

  cd /some/build/dir
  git clone https://github.com/gpertea/gffread
  cd gffread
  make release

This should create the gffread binary in the current directory.
