Re: [netcdfgroup] Error Building netCDF-C 4.4.1 with macOS PGI 16.10

Hi Matt,

Thanks for posting this; I didn’t know PGI had a community edition
available. This will make addressing pgi-specific issues (like this one) a
lot easier.

I was able to work past this issue by passing -DNDEBUG to the compiler;
this removes the assert statements. However, I’m encountering some other
issues. Particularly, I’m seeing:

#warning This version of Xcode is not supported by PGI

You don’t mention what version of Xcode and OSX you’re working with, but I
assume you aren’t seeing these?

I’ll follow up with you offline as I figure things out, now that I’ve
installed the PGI compiler. If anybody else has encountered this issue and
can suggest a fix, feedback is much appreciated and will find its way into
the upcoming 4.4.2 release!

-Ward
