9/2020 Notes on installing cygwin on Windows 10
go to cygwin.com
run setup-x86-64.exe (need system admin)
(64-bits is needed for wgrib2 to process files > 2GB)
(I installed from the internet)
(I installed all recommended packages)
(I installed icons in both locations)
The rest is run from cygwin's bash (run Cygwin Terminal icon)
See if you have gcc, gfortran, g++, and make installed.
gcc
(if you see gcc: command not found, you need to download gcc and gfortran)
(go to cygwin.com, run setup-x86-64.exe)
(select packages: view:full search: gcc-fortran, I selected the latest version)
gfortran
(if you see gfortran: command not found, you need to download gfortran, see above)
(go to cygwin.com, run setup-x86-64.exe)
(select packages: view:full search: gcc-fortran, I selected the latest version)
make
(if you see make: command not found, you need to download make, if nothing happens,
type control-c to quit the make program)
(go to cygwin.com, run setup-x86-64.exe)
(select packages: view:full search: make, I selected latest version)
g++
(if you see g++: command not found, you need to download gcc-g++)
(go to cygwin.com, run setup-x86-64.exe)
(select packages: view:full search: gcc-g++, I selected latest version)
Get wgrib2 source code and install.
get wgrib2.tgz from ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib2/wgrib2.tgz
If you use a browser to download wgrib2.tgz, you can find the download in
/cygdrive/c/Users/YourName/Downloads/wgrib2.tgz
(copy to home directory using bash)
mv /cygdrive/c/Users/YourName/Downloads/wgrib2.tgz ~
Of course "/cygdrive/c" could be replaced by "/cygdrive/d" if your
windows home directory is on "d:".
The rest is run from cygwin's bash (run Cygwin Terminal icon)
cd
(cd to your home directory)
tar -xzvf wgrib2.tgz
(expand wgrib2.tgz, now you should see the grib2 directory)
cd grib2
Create a cygwin makefile (makefile.cygwin)
sed 's/\\#/#/' <makefile >makefile.cygwin
(this creates makefile.cygwin which is compatible with the cygwin make)
Compile
export CC=gcc
export FC=gfortran
(you may want to alter the "makefile.cygwin" to make a custom configuration)
make
(this should make wgrib2/wgrib2.exe)
tested 9/24/2020: window 10, latest cygwin
