[maker-devel] Problem with Maker using GeneMark

Hi

I've come across a bug while using Maker. I'm trying to annotate a 560Mb Genome and I'm using Snap, GeneMark and Augustus in Maker.
When Maker is executing the GeneMark command, it just failed (GeneMark Failed) without any error messages, so I've decided to debug it myself...So I launched every commands manually and found out that the gmhmm_wrap is causing the issue. The problem is in fact in the prebuild command; it doesn't do anything (from what I understand, this command is supposed to split the fasta whre there is NNN to prevent GeneMark Crash). My genome got very long stretches of N (up to 14Kb)

After checking the prebuild help, I've found that the command used in gmhmm_wrap is not valid (half the options are not in probuild anymore, probably because of GeneMark updates)

I have tried different Probuild (those I could download from GeneMark site, they don't give older versions except those that come with their program's versions)
2.16
2.34
2.44 (lastest that come with GeneMark ES)

I've also tried to edit the gmhmm_wrap script and modify the prebuild command, but even when the fasta are splitted, I got another bug : ERROR: Logic error in getting offset. I've tried to replace the command for the offset extraction, which also worked, but now I got a bug when Maker try to get the ab-initio output :
------------- EXCEPTION: Bio::Root::Exception -------------
MSG: Calling translate without a seq argument!

Could you please tell me how to fix this, or tell me what probuild I should use (I will ask the GeneMark support for it)

Thanks in advance

P.S
Sorry for my English, It's not my first language and I'm still learning
