Hi netCDF team

actually this is more a question for the HDF team

I am trying to build netCDF 4.3.1 RC2/RC3 with HDF4, following the instructions 
here


http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_hdf4.html


"For this to work, you must build the HDF4 library with the configure option "
  --disable-netcdffor RC2I build HDF4 with

./configure --prefix=/home/pvicente/install/hdf-4.2.9 --disable-netcdf  

and the ouput had this last line


Support for netCDF API 2.3.2: no

Build netCDF

defined

H4DIR=/home/pvicente/install/hdf-4.2.9
CPPFLAGS="-I${H4DIR}/include"
LDFLAGS="-L${H4DIR}/lib"

./configure --prefix=/home/pvicente/install/netcdf-c-4.3.1-rc2  --enable-hdf4

output 

checking for mfhdf.h... yes
checking for Hclose in -ldf... no
checking for SDcreate in -lmfhdf... no

checking value of LIBS... -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lm -lz -lcurl 


and this linking error

../liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.so: undefined reference to `SDstart'


for RC3

./configure --prefix=/home/pvicente/install/netcdf-c-4.3.1-rc3  --enable-hdf4

checking mfhdf.h usability... yes
checking mfhdf.h presence... yes
checking for mfhdf.h... yes
checking for Hclose in -ldf... no
configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf4 df library. See config.log for 
errors.

config.log

configure:16643: gcc -o conftest -g -O4 -Wall -Wunused -W -Wshadow 
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes 
-fno-common -I/home/pvice$
/home/pvicente/install/hdf-4.2.9/lib/libdf.a(dfjpeg.o): In function `DFCIjpeg':
dfjpeg.c:(.text+0x306): undefined reference to `jpeg_std_error'


hhmm, HDF4 is missing jpeg

it's been a while since I built HDF4 , how can I disable jpeg from the HDF4 
configure ?

--help says

--with-jpeg=DIR         Use jpeg library [default=yes]

maybe  configure of netCDF should allow for the non-presence of jpeg ?

thanks



Pedro
