NetCDF Compilation Issue

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers Legacy PGI Compilers

Hi,

I was trying to compile netCDF 4.0.1 on PGI Workstation 10.6 (64-bit) running on Windows server 2008 as per the instructions given in here. The configure script took lot of time, but it created the make file. I then moved on to step 5 and tried to build it using make. Then I got the following error. I really appreciate if someone can shed some light to fix this issue.

Is this for linux? Did you get the right package? It looks like you configure it for win32 or your system is win32.

…
configure: netCDF 4.0.1
checking build system type… i686-pc-cygwin
checking host system type… i686-pc-cygwin

I’m trying to compile this on Windows server 2008.

Hi Eran,

The NetCDF build instructions are for Linux and Mac. For Windows, I wrote a guide on building WRF which includes how to build NetCDF. Account Login | PGI NetCDF requires a few changes.

Note that UCAR has updated WRF 3.2 with the changes I suggested in this article. Hence you should continue using their updated instructions when building WRF.

Hope this helps,
Mat
