Hello all,I've managed to build the latest snapshot of netcdf-4 (2008022102) on Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) with gcc4.0.1 and IBM XL Fortran 8.1. There were a few tricks required to get this to work, so here are my build notes:
1. Download and install HDF5 1.8.0 (it is only necessary to compile and install the C libraries)
2. Download latest snapshot version of netcdf-4 3. set the following environment variables: F77=xlf FC=xlf90 CPPFLAGS=-DIBMR2Fortran4. ./configure --enable-netcdf-4 --with-hdf5=/usr/local (or wherever you have it installed)
5. For some reason the libtool created in the previous step by configure does not contain a tag for compiling f90 programs (tag=FC). Thus the build will crash out on the very first step. This took me a long time to figure out. Once I did, I was able to copy the tag section for FC from the netcdf-4-beta1 release of netcdf which creates the FC tag in libtool correctly.
5. make; make check; make installBuilding shared libraries does not work on my hardware/software setup. While creating the netcdff (separate fortran library) the linker complains about missing symbols, mainly from the netcdf C library (nc_*). Could this be a build order problem, or possibly a case of missing dependencies? Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with automake to track this one down.
Cheers, Jed
