7/2008 General Installation
The prettiest makefile is
make -f makefile_all_libs_new
This will compile all the libraries (depending on the selected options).
I use this on our AIX.
other makefile: makefile_all_libs obsolete
makefile bog-standard linux
makefile_no_netcdf obsolete
makefile_sys_jasper obsolete
INSTALLING on Linux
On a bog-standard linux box, type "make" in the grib2 directory. If all
goes well, you will get the wgrib2 program in wgrib2/wgrib2. Most
of the problems are caused by missing packages. The missing packages
could include gcc, make, the developement png library and the development
z library. Note, you need the development png and z libraries because
they include the headers. Of course the png and z libraries are put
in unusual places, then the make won't work. I guess that bog-standard
really means it works on my red-hat system at work and ubuntu at home.
I you don't have the png and z libraries, you can try
gmake -f makefile_all_libs_new
On some systems, gmake is called make. In this case, you
edit makefile_all_libs_new and change the line
MAKE=gmake
to
MAKE=make
Then you type,
make -f makefile_all_libs_new
You can also try the older verion of the makefile
INSTALLING on windows XP
On the cygwin development system, you need to install many packages.
Please install the jasper library because the included jasper source
code has some problems compiling. Once the makefile points to the
pre-compiled jasper headers/library, the code can be compiled.
See makefile_sys_jasper.
INSTALLING on FreeBSD
INSTALLING on Apple OS-X
Has been done. No details.
INSTALLING on AIX
Define CC and CPP environment variables. gmake -f makefile_all_libs_new
Optional Packages
If you are using the makefile_all_libs_new, you can edit the
makefile to select whether to include the netcdf and mysql packages.
Look for USE_NETCDF and USE_MYSQL. 1 means include the package
and 0 means don't include the package.
Comments Netcdf
The netcdf library is included with this distribution. The library is
compiled in enable-C-only mode which is not be that useful for
fortran code. Don't use try to link other codes to this library.
4) netcdf may need compile options for 64-bit machines
These are problems best addressed by someone who knows the system.
For example if you have Linux distribution, XYZ, you would be wise
to consult a computer savy person familiar with XYZ.
