I'm attempting to use Kylix to develop a financial application for linux using NetCDF. Kylix, i.e. Borland's Delphi product for linux, expects a library with a .so extention, not the .a that the NetCDF package produces.
.so's are "shared object" libraries and .a's are "archive" libraries. I have had luck in the past just doing a symbolic link from one to the other:
ln -s libnetcdf.a libnetcdf.so give it a try
Support-netcdf responded by saying that I may wish to try using libtool. I have installed libtool on my PC, but have no idea how to use it in this context. I hope someone can help.
PC? I thought you were using linux in which case a: man libtoolmay produce the info you seek. alternatively a there should be a doc dir or files in/near the src directory
Next I tried using Delphi under Win2000. I am successful in using netcdf.dll,
that is equivalent to a .so in linux
but several of the functions do not seem to be working correctly. I am using a unit I found in the netcdf email archives. Specifically:
from here on I'm not useful as we use the f77 bindings which are a little different.
nc_inq_dimname does not seem to return a string value. (I get "nil"). So does nc_inq_varname Again, any assistance for a beginning programmer like me is greatly appreciated.
