/* Define if we support HDF NetCDF-3 APIs */
//#define H4_HAVE_NETCDF 1

Is this the case?

There are 2 ways to build HDF4 in Windows:

1) Use the supplied Visual Studio projects
2) Use Cmake to generate Visual Studio projects

I tried 1)

"hdf" and "mfhdf" build fine
The current distro does not include the jpeg source. It should.

This was done with

//#define H4_HAVE_NETCDF 1

commented , but I still have the same netCDF errors as in the last email.

used by CMake of netCDF to detect "a"  HDF4 header location.

-D"MFHDF_H_INCLUDE_DIR=I:\hdf4-4.2.9-bin\include"

That I assume must include all the HDF4 headers.

Is this correct?

I tried to use

I:\hdf4-4.2.9-bin\include"

it would be great if anyone could come up with some fix for this

thanks

ps

[EDIT]

I:\hdf4_explorer\mfhdf\libsrc\netcdf.h(25): fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'hdfi.h': No such file or directory

so, it seems, that is solved, and this is another issue

Hi Ward

It seems there is still an issue with the CMake HDF4 settings.
This is for Windows

In my case I used

-D"MFHDF_H_INCLUDE_DIR=I:\hdf4_explorer\mfhdf\libsrc"
-D"HDF4_DF_LIB=I:\hdf4_explorer\windows\lib\debug\singlethreaded\hd421d.lib"
-D"HDF4_MFHDF_LIB=I:\hdf4_explorer\windows\lib\debug\singlethreaded\hm421d.lib"

The Cmake generation went fine.

But when I try to build the generated Visual Studio 2010 solution , I get this error

I:\hdf4_explorer\mfhdf\libsrc\netcdf.h(25): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'hdfi.h': No such file or directory

The file <HDF4 root>\mfhdf\libsrc\netcdf.h

is part of the HDF4 distribution.

There are 2 distinct HDF4 libraries, each one with their different locations and header files.

In the Unix world , I believe when doing

make install

all these headers are copied to the same place.

But this is not necessarily true in Windows. One can just specify any location for the headers.

I tried to copy 'hdfi.h' to the same location that 'mfhdf.h' is located , but then I get a multitude of errors in netCDF, either unknown or duplicated symbols, due to the fact that the 'netcdf.h'

used is the one from the HDF4 distribution.

I am not really sure how to solve this.

Maybe copy all the HDF4 headers (which ones?) to one place , omitting the netcdf.h from HDF4 ?

For the autoconf build of HDF4 and netCDF, when enabling HDF4, there are these flags

for HDF4

 --disable-netcdf

"to prevent it from building an HDF4 version of the netCDF-2 library that conflicts with the netCDF-2 functions that are built into the Unidata netCDF library."

and for netCDF

--enable-hdf4

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_hdf4.html

so, it's my understanding that these flags must define some macros in the code of the *two* libraries (HDF4 and netCDF) that compile some parts of the code and not others.

Is this the case?

If yes, then maybe setting these macros manually in Windows should do.


Thanks

Pedro

Hello all,

The netCDF-C libraries 4.3.1-r5 are now available.

Highlights of this release beyond the previous release candidate include:

* Fixed netCDF-4 failure when renaming a dimension and renaming a variable using that dimension, in either order. NCF-177 * Fixed bug in ncgen; it was not properly filling empty string constants ("") to be the proper length. NCF-279 * Fixed bug in ncgen where it was interpreting int64 constants as uint64 constants. NCF-278* When opening a netCDF-4 file, streamline the iteration over objects in the underlying HDF5 file. * Fixed bug in handling Http Basic Authorization. The code was actually there but was not being executed. NCF-277 * When compiling with hdf4 support, both autotools and cmake-based builds now properly look for the libjpeg dependency and will link against it when found (or complain if it's not). Also added ENABLE_HDF4_FILE_TESTS option to CMake-based builds.
