[Opengrads-devel] Supplibs 2.1.0 being uploaded

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

All,

  I just finished a major upgrade of the supplibs, see ChangeLog bellow.
Pre-compiled tarballs are on sf.net:


https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=241681&release_id=661716

There are now 2 packages: supplibs-*.tar.gz  which includes the lib/,
include/ and a few files in bin/ needed to build grads (e.g., pkg-config).
The supptools-*.gz package includes the remaining bin/, etc/ , share/ which
is a product of the build that some people may find useful (ncdump, for
example). The "supplibs" package is now much smaller, < 20MB.

 The main change is that netcdf has been upgraded to v4.0.1 which includes
opendap and hdf-5 support. Therefore, I have omitted libnc-dap and removed
the previous netcdf4 package that I had been using for experimental netcdf-4
builds in the past couple of years.  The upshot is that we no longer need to
build a separate gradsdap: the single executable grads now can have it all:
netcdf-3, netcdf-4/hdf-5, hdf-4,  grib-1/2.  I say more about that on a
follow on message regarding v2.0.a5.oga.1.

Caveat: by setting LIBS properly one may be able to build grads v2.0.a5 with
supplibs-2.0.1.  It will not build "gradsdap" and the binary *grads* will
say that opendap is not enabled, although gridded dap is.

Other niceties,

% make lib-dist
% make bin-dist
% make src-dist

will create the respective tarballs. The "make src-dist" only works with
supplib sources that have been checked out from CVS. Also,

% make verify

will produce a summary of which package passed or  failed config, install.,
eg.,

-------+---------+--------------
Config | Install |   Package
-------+---------+--------------
  ok   |   ok    | pkg-config
  ok   |   ok    | udunits
  ok   |   ok    | zlib
  ok   |   ok    | szlib
  ok   |   ok    | libpng
...

Jennifer,

  Per your request, I have created a special CVS module,

  % gacvs co -P supplibs_fixture

  which allows you to checkout only a "shell" of the supplibs, with the top
GNUmakefile, but with sources only for pkg-config (which is a must have for
ensurance the self-consistency of the build.) Now, say, you want to build
jasper, then you enter:

  % make co_jasper
  % make install

This will bring the jasper sources and build it. I wrote in some dependency
tracking, so co_hdf4 would also check out zlib, szlib, etc, although I have
not tested this dependency feature fully.

  Let me know of any problems,

  Cheers!

    Arlindo
