> Dear sir or mam > > Can you please walk me through on how to install Gempak 7.2.2. on Ubuntu > 14.04 Linux? > > Thank you in advance. Hi Joseph, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, I've been on PTO for the last few weeks. A big caveat upfront, I do not have an Ubuntu system and so can not personally verify the instructions for installing on such a system, but I know many users have been able to build from source with some small changes to the normal set of instructions. The set of instructions is at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/doc/install.html About halfway down the page is a short section for Ubuntu: " Ubuntu builds require the compiler flag -fno-stack-protector be added to COPT (C compiler options) and FOPT (fortran compiler options). Ubuntu-specific Makeinc files are provided in $NAWIPS/config/ that include this compiler flag: $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.linux_gfortran_ubuntu $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_ubuntu " Basically, in $NAWIPS/config/ you will a number of "Makeinc*" files with compiler- and system-specific names, such as -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 58 Dec 11 2013 Makeinc.linux64 -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 1044 Dec 11 2013 Makeinc.linux64_g77 -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 988 Oct 19 18:36 Makeinc.linux64_gfortran -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 997 Sep 30 2014 Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_fedora -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 989 Sep 30 2014 Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_ubuntu -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 999 Dec 11 2013 Makeinc.linux_g77 -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 1020 Sep 30 2014 Makeinc.linux_gfortran -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 874 Sep 30 2014 Makeinc.linux_gfortran_fedora -rw-r--r-- 1 gempak ustaff 1028 Sep 30 2014 Makeinc.linux_gfortran_ubuntu The default for 64-bit linux using gfortran, for example, is the file "Makeinc.linux64_gfortran". Notice the additonal files called "_fedora" and "_ubuntu". You will want to copy/move the file Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_ubuntu to Makeinc.linux64_gfortran before you run "make all" in $NAWIPS. (Obviously for 32-bit systems do the above with the files "Makeinc.linux_" instead of "Makeinc.linux64_". The differences between the two files can be seen with the command diff Makeinc.linux64_gfortran Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_ubuntu 11,12c11,12 < COPT = -DUNDERSCORE -D$(OPSYS) $(GEMINC) $(MOTIFINC) $(PYINC) $(WITHPY) -DG_64BIT -O2 -fPIC -g < FOPT = -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check -fd-lines-as-comments $(GEMINC) $(PYINC) -g #-O --- > COPT = -fno-stack-protector -DUNDERSCORE -D$(OPSYS) $(GEMINC) $(MOTIFINC) > -DG_64BIT -g #-O > FOPT = -fno-stack-protector -fno-second-underscore -fno-range-check > -fd-lines-as-comments $(GEMINC) -g #-O With this _ubuntu file in place of the old "Makeinc.linux64_gfortran" file, you should be able to follow the rest of the instruction ("make all" followed by "make install", or just "make everything"). But again, I have no Ubuntu system myself to check this on, so if you encounter any build errors please let me know about them.
