[gmx-developers] First GROMACS 2019 beta

[Kutzner, Carsten]

Hi Paul,

just tried it and found one issue:

2019 beta does not build with -DGMX_QMMM_PROGRAM=gaussian

QMMrec=fr->qr is an invalid use of incomplete type in qm_gaussian.cpp, line 435.

It does build without the gaussian interface, though.

Best,
  Carsten
