Re: [Opengrads-devel] Supplibs 2.1.0 being uploaded

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

All,
   Here is a quick trick for building COLA's v2.0.a5 with the new
supplibs-2.1.0:

% ./configure
% make

and it will fail trying to build grads; then

% cd src
% make (it will compile and fail during link)
% make grads CC=g++ LIBS="`../../supplibs/bin/nc-config-nc --libs` -lm"

and you will have a grads binary that are netcdf-3, netcdf-4/hdf-5, hdf-4
and opendap (gridded) enabled. Pretty cool.

Jennifer,

   As for revising your config.ac: a simple trick is to key into the
nc-config-nc script which is available with the latest netcdf-4. If it is
available then you know it is netcdf-4, and from it you can find out what is
available with that netcdf build:

% nc-config-nc:

Usage: nc-config [OPTION]

Available values for OPTION include:

  --help      display this help message and exit
  --all       display all options
  --cc        C compiler
  --cxx       C++ compiler
  --fc        Fortran compiler
  --cflags    pre-processor and compiler flags
  --fflags    flags needed to compile a Fortran program
  --has-dap   whether OPeNDAP is enabled in this build
  --has-nc2   whether NetCDF-2 API is enabled
  --has-nc4   whether NetCDF-4/HDF-5 is enabled in this build
  --has-hdf5  same as --has-nc4
  --has-f77   whether Fortran 77 API is enabled in this build
  --has-f90   whether Fortran 90 API is enabled in this build
  --has-c++   whether C++ API is enabled in this build
  --libs      library linking information for libnc-dap
  --flibs     libraries needed to link a Fortran program
  --prefix    Install prefix
  --version   Library version


  Let me know if you have questions,

      Arlindo
