I am trying to build LibDap for Windows using VC7 and I hope to build the NetCDF library after that. I have somehow got a copy of the source code for LibDap-3.6.0 and LibNC-Dap-3.6.0. I have also compiled the latest versions of libCurl-7.15.2, iconv--1.9.2, libXML2-2.6.23, zLib--1.2.3, and OpenSSL-0.9.8a. I have also got cppunit-1.10.2.tar.gz and pthreads-w32-2-7-0-release.tar.gz that I plan to add to the mix once I am sure about how to get LibDap working. What suggestions can you offer?
CppUnit is used for the unit tests and is not needed for a build. However, pthreads is used for the build. I forget if it's required or used if available; check the README and INSTALL that came with libdap. My LibDap code doesn't appear to be complete so where should I get the code from?
You can get a source tar.gz file from opendap.org. How about the LibNC-Dap?
Same. Also, where do I find the code for the xdr library?
There is a copy in libdap/win32. I was wondering if ithere is a way to use the latest NetCDF libraries from UniData as well. Would all this work better with a different compiler?
I'm CC Rob Morris on this since he's our win32 build expert. I think VC++ is probably the best best on win32. We tried using the mingW system (which uses gcc) but it was more work than VC++ in the end and less useful give the C++ DLL compatibility issues.
Hope this helps
