A little known fact in the world of AWIPS(II) is just how dependent the system still is on NAWIPS-GEMPAK. The entire National Centers Perspective is dependent on pre-built shared object files for 64-bit Linux, which means that all of the D2D plugins which extend NSHARP (for bufr obs, NPP profiles, forecast models, etc.) also depend on these libraries.
This dependency has prevented use of the NSHARP plugin in the first release (15.1.1) of the OS X CAVE client. These are the steps taken to build NSHARP and GEMPAK libraries for OS X AWIPS 16.2.2.
You will need the https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-gemlibs repository on your Mac, as well as gcc and gfortran (from XCode). Pay attention to any version-specific include path or linked files, such as /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/lib/gcc/4.9/, always account for the correct versions and locations on your own system.
NSHARP pre-built libraries
libbignsharp.dylib
Using the script below, the NSHARP dynamic library is built from C and FORTRAN source files (and their required include files supplied by the awips2-gemlibs repository, and as linked against $GEMINC, meaning that GEMPAK for OS X must be built and installed).
git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-gemlibs.git cd awips2-gemlibs/nsharp/ An optional step, which can be performed in a separate script or within the build script below, is to create ld-style *.a files in $OS_LIB which can then be referenced with -l flags (e.g. -lgemlib):
libs=(snlist sflist nxmlib gemlib gplt cgemlib rsl device xwp xw ps gn nsharp netcdf textlib) for file in ${libs[@]} do if [ ! -f $OS_LIB/lib$file.a ]; then echo '$OS_LIB/lib$file.a does not exist' if [ -f $OS_LIB/$file.a ]; then cp $OS_LIB/$file.a $OS_LIB/lib$file.a echo 'copied OS_LIB/$file.a to OS_LIB/lib$file.a for linking' fi fi done Build libbignsharp.dylib with the following script (Note the GEMPAK includes and links -I$NSHARP, -I$GEMPAK/include, -L$OS_LIB, etc.).
