[netcdfgroup] nc-config --libs output -- should it include hdf5 libs if netcdf-4 enabled
Should the nc-config --libs output show the hdf5 libraries that need to
be included on the link line in addition to the -lnetdf? This also
applies to the curl and opendap and ... options.
It would make it easier to have a generic build line for an executable
that would not change depending on whether netcdf-4 was enabled or not
enabled. For example "cc -o my_exe `nc-config --cflags` my_exe.c
`nc-config --libs`" should work for all cases. As it is now, additional
logic is needed in each makefile/configure/build system that uses the
netcdf library. It would be very nice if that complexity were embedded
in nc-config...
I'm sure there is good reasoning behind the current behavior, but if
not, I would like to request either a modification to the --libs output,
or perhaps another option that listed all libs needed for linking...
Thanks,
