Hi,
netcdf-4.0 as distributed has some bugs in the Fortran configuration
part of the configure script, see attachment.
Explanation:
integer(kind(1)) is just an synonym for integer, but one probably
just wants the smallest integer kind, which often is integer(kind=1).
For a specification of the minimum number of decimal digits, the
last variant (integer(selected_int_kind(2))) does the proper job,
which is probably what the original authors intended.
Without this patch, I get failures in the Fortran self-tests on
a platform where the Fortran compiler does not support "byte",
although the C compiler does.
It would be nice if this patch could be applied to a future
netcdf distribution.
Regards,
-ha
