Thanks, I had not realized that I needed te recompile NCO as well. To my understanding, the need to define HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH is not required when all the plugins are in the default plugin directory, right? A little annoyance: I always compile HDF5 without szip support, but now with v4.9.0 the 'make check' of netCDF4 fails because I do not have szip support. Thanks for all the good work.

I went back to my last attempt to build CCR (someday I'll get it working!), and I think I need to add: 1. HDF5: --with-default-plugindir=$(HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH) 2. netCDF-C: --with-plugin-dir=$(HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH) 3. NCO: --with-hdf5-plugin-path=$(HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH) I suppose I should ask Charlie Zender about the last one...but it seems right. Now for some reason I can't get the "make check" step for netCDF-fortran to recognize HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH, so the zstandard tests fail...but I can run them by hand. Not sure if it's on my end or I'm not passing things down right to the check step? :shrug: Now onto testing it. Be prepared for questions like "What are good values to set zstandard_level and quantizing and ...". (Well, first I'll go read your papers and the tests in the code, but then I'll probably annoy you :D ) Matt -- Matt Thompson, SSAI, Ld Scientific Programmer/Analyst NASA GSFC, Global Modeling and Assimilation Office Code 610.1, 8800 Greenbelt Rd, Greenbelt, MD 20771 Phone: 301-614-6712 Fax: 301-614-6246 http://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/bio/matthew.thompson From: Ed Hartnett <edwardjameshartnett@xxxxxxxxx><mailto:edwardjameshartnett@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 1:03 PM To: "Thompson, Matt (GSFC-610.1)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC]" <matthew.thompson@xxxxxxxx><mailto:matthew.thompson@xxxxxxxx> Cc: "netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"<mailto:netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [netcdfgroup] Can I build zstandard support in netCDF with a static build? Howdy Matt! For zstandard, and other filter features, you must build and use shared libraries. Also you need to build netcdf-c with --with-plugins=/some/path and then set environment variable HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH to /some/path before you build netcdf-fortran (or use any program with the zstandard filter).

Either set the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environmental variable if zstandard tests fail, or use --disable-zstandard-plugin when running configure. configure: WARNING: ------------------------------------------ Okay. New to me. I then went back to the netCDF-C build and saw: checking whether dynamically loaded plugins is enabled... yes configure: WARNING: --disable-shared => --disable-plugins ... checking whether and where we should install plugins... no ... Plugin Install Prefix: N.A. Seeing that warning reminded me I build netCDF-C and netCDF-Fortran as a static library mainly for historical reasons (was static in the past and, well, if it works, don't mess with it unless you need to!) So I suppose the question is: Can I use zstd with a static build of netCDF? Or is it time to bite the bullet and reconfigure my software to use shared libraries...
