Netcdf group,

 

We are currently using netcdf-4.1.1 with the port patch contributed by Viet
Eitner:

I need to build a version of netcdf that will work with a Fortran program
built with the Intel compiler using the Integer*8 flag.  The problem is
netcdf assumes that sizeof(long) == 64 on 64-bit systems.  That is true for
Unix platforms, but NOT true for Windows (LLP64).  See:

 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/384502/what-is-the-bit-size-of-long-on-64
-bit-windows

 

Has anyone tried to tackle this problem?  I see numerous function
declarations using "long" variants.  Any suggestions?  Any chance that
"int"/"long" types could be factored out of netcdf in the future?

 

Thanks,

Roy Dennington
