No subject

it is usually a problem in passing the values of the netcdf variable to 
genmake2. What follows is what I do to track down this problem by looking 
at genmake.log (will appear after you run genmake2): create a file 
(genmake_tnc.F) like the one shown in genmake.log in the netcdf section 
(towards the end), and try to compile it with the command line(s) that you 
can also find in genmake.log. In my previous example that would be (don't 
use this, but the corresponding lines in your own genmake.log):
1. this one creates genmake_tnc.f
cat genmake_tnc.F |  cpp -traditional -P -DWORDLENGTH=4 -DALLOW_USE_MPI 
-DALWAYS_USE_MPI -DHAVE_SYSTEM -DHAVE_FDATE -DHAVE_ETIME -DHAVE_CLOC 
-DHAVE_SETRLSTK -DHAVE_SIGREG -DHAVE_STAT 
-I/uv/soft/netcdf/3.6.3-intel/include -I/opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.05/include
2. this one compiles
ifort  -W0 -WB -convert big_endian -assume byterecl -fPIC -O3 -align -c 
genmake_tnc.f
3. this one links the libraries to create the executable
ifort  -W0 -WB -convert big_endian -assume byterecl -fPIC -O3 -align -o 
genmake_tnc genmake_tnc.o -L/uv/soft/netcdf/3.6.3-intel/lib/ -lmpi 
-lnetcdf
Then you'll have to tinker with the flags etc, until this works "offline", 
and then you can add the appropriate lines in the build option file 
(INCLUDES="$INCLUDES -I/uv/soft/netcdf/3.6.3-intel/include", LIBS="$LIBS 
-L/uv/soft/netcdf/3.6.3-intel/lib").

<br><tt><font size=2>I just today discovered the actual problem to which
I was referring (it may not be relevant to MITgcm): &nbsp;When you build
NetCDF and install it to its own directory on several of the Linux x64
distros, it creates /yournetcdfinstallpath/bin, /yournetcdfinstallpath/include,
and /yournetcdfinstallpath/lib64. &nbsp;But often the build script gcc
command line call to include the library (say, in MITgcm) is:</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>-L/yournetcdfinstallpath/lib -lnetcdf</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Note that it's not going to look in /yournetcdfinstallpath/lib64
- so it fails to find the library it needs and doesn't always tell you.
&nbsp;Most buildscripts I've seen for most linux apps that get supplied
as buildable source (rather than binares) encounter this sort of dependency
issue. &nbsp;It's been around at least a decade (I used to build an x64
bacula contrib for an OpenSuSE repo). &nbsp;I would think that script-building
tools would by now check or create the options for both lib and a lib64
directories for all required libs - but I'm a total klutz with build scripts
so who am I to criticize? &nbsp; ;^)</font></tt>

the build_options-files for genmake2 use bash-syntax. In bash, this &quot;$NETCDF_ROOT&quot;
is different from '$NETCDF_ROOT' (the former expands NETCDF_ROOT, the latter
doesn't); there are many resources online, that explain this in more detail.
As a general rule I always use double quotes with bash, unless I want to
pass variable names rather than their content.<br>
