In the ./configure --help message, netcdf says:
--disable-netcdf-4 build with netcdf-4 (HDF5 and zlib required)
--enable-netcdf4 build with netcdf-4 (HDF5 and zlib required)
1: Why there’s no --disable-netcdf4 or why isn’t the enable option
‘--enable-netcdf-4’? This is just misleading for new users.
2: It should say ‘build witout...’ on --disable-netcdf-4.
In fact, if I --disable-netcdf4, it says nothing and does not try to disable
netcdf4+hdf5 support; maybe that option should be left as synonymous option or
the enable option be documented with ‘netcdf-4’ but still supported ‘netcdf4’
form.
Well, that’s all, I wonder if all reasons that make netcdf incompatible with <
1.8.6 HDF5 version is that silly H5F_LIBVER_18 macro. :/
