Building and Installing the Updated McIDAS-X Distribution

The code changes included in Unidata McIDAS v2009k are extensive enough to warrant a full rebuild of the distribution binaries.

What to do:

The McIDAS administrator (typically the user mcidas) should perform the following steps in the order listed to update his/her system with the 2009i addendum:

1. login as the user mcidas

2. EXIT all active McIDAS-X sessions

3. Download the full Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD v2009 distribution:
   • Web download

     If you are a Registered Unidata User, and have logged into the Unidata web portal, you can download the needed file(s) as follows:

     Unidata HomePage
     http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
       Downloads
       http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/index.jsp
         McIDAS-X
         http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/mcidas/index.jsp
           v2009 Unix Source Code Distribution
           http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/mcidas/index.jsp
     
           mcidasx2009.tar.gz
     

     NB: Make sure to download to the HOME directory of the user mcidas (~mcidas)!

     If the scripts mcunpack and mcinet2009.sh do not exist in the ~mcidas directory, download them also.

   • FTP download

     Type: cd ~mcidas
     Type: ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
           <user>
           <pass>
           cd unix/2009
           binary
           get mcidasx2009.tar.gz
           get mcunpack
           get mcinet2009.sh
           quit
     

4. clobber the existing distribution and rename three ancillary packages included in the McIDAS-X distribution

   Type: cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
   Type: make clobber
   Type: cd ../
   Type: mv g2clib g2clib.old
   Type: mv hdf hdf.old
   Type: mv netcdf netcdf.old
   Type: mv tcl tcl.old
   Type: mv tk tk.old
   Type: cd ~mcidas
   

5. Unpack the distribution. NB: assumes that the environment variable McINST_ROOT is defined correctly!

   Type: chmod +x mcunpack
   Type: ./mcunpack
   

6. make and install McIDAS-X

   Type: cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
   Type: make mcx
   Type: make install.mcx
   

7. make and install McIDAS-XCD (if you run XCD)

   Type: cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
   Type: make xcd
   Type: make install.xcd
   

8. make and install McIDAS-XRD (optional)

   Type: cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
   Type: make xrd
   Type: make install.xrd
