Building and Installing the Updated McIDAS-X Distribution

Important:

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 2009m 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

    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
