Re: [netcdfgroup] what is status of netCDF3 vs netCDF4?

Can one build the Fortran bindings without building beforehand the
C bindings?
I don't think so.
At least not up to NetCDF 4.3.0 (C), 4.2 (Fortran)
, cxx4-4.2.1 (C++), the last ones I built.

As far as I know, everything linked to the Fortran bindings (-lnetcdff)
requires linking to the C library as well (-lnetcdf).
Likewise for C++.

Isn't this the chain of wrappers?
F90 -> Fortran -> C
C++ -> C

Thank you,
Gus Correa

Well, F03, is still a wrapper, but not in the same way as the older

    My basic understanding is this:
    1. The "old" version of the fortran library (<=4.2) was just a wrapper
    1a. The F90 interface was a wrapper for the fortran library.
    2. Later versions can utilize the fortran 03 library which is a (to
    my understanding) complete interface to the c library using F03
    standard interface operability, so here it is not a wrapper.
    2a. If not compiled against the F03 std it is very similar (if not
    totally?) to the older versions.

            Sure, it was more a pedantic outburst... :)
            I just think supplying both is crucial. :)


        Sure -- and I haven't looked at th code -- is the Fortran lib
        just a wrapper around the C lib anyway?
