[Opengrads-devel] Wgrib2: first autotoolized version

[Arlindo da S. <da...@al...>]

Hi Pat,

  I had the first crack adding a configure script to wgrib2, borrowing from
much of the stuff you did for the grads build. To check it out:

% gacvs co -P Wgrib2

I only tested it with the supplibs-2.0.1 and it builds, very much like
grads. (Ignore the HDF option: I am detecting it but have not done anything
with it yet - I am waiting for Sergey's patch of Netcdf.c).

When you have a chance:

1) Can you check whether the option "--enable-dynamic-supplibs" works?

2) "make dist" is broken; do you know what I am doing wrong? (make bin-dist
works, though)

As for the supplibs, you only need a fraction of the grads supplibs to build
wgrib2. Given the modularity of the supplibs, you can delete all the
non-necessary packages and build only what you need for wgrib2. If you
checkout this tag you will get this subset:

gacvs co -P -r mini_supplibs-2_0_1 supplibs

Wes/Sergey: you can access the opengrads cvs repo anonymously, see here:

         http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=161773

If you have problems checking stuff out let me know and I'll post  tarball.
You should be able to get by with the supplib binaries on sf.net:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=241681

For building instructions see the INSTALL file for both wgrib2 and the
supplibs; some build info is here:

        http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=OpenGrADS_Documentation

We are almost there with this. The next step is to fix these small glitches
and add HDF support.

  Cheers!

     Arlindo
