Hi,
I managed to compile netcdf-4.3.0 using mingw-w64 gcc 4.8.1.
All I had to disabale was DAP (I have no use for anyway).
I tested that I can read and write netcdf files using the newly build .dll
Now I wanted to test compression using the cxx4 interface, enabling it by
ncvar_data.setCompression(true,true,1) for the heaviest of my variables.
However, even for a file filled with constants the files remain as big as
before.
Further tests using nccopy -d9 old.nca new.nca did not result in a
modification of the file size.
Any advise?
Best,
Frank
