Hi,The netcdf library used to build fairly trivially on MS Windows, using the mingw port of gcc in the msys shell.
I can build 4.0.1 ok (with some minor hacking of the source), but 4.1.1 fails during the 'make' step because of some problem with my (non-existent ?)TeX utility. Not sure what to do about that, though the mingw mailing list could probably help out - the actual error varies depending upon whether I'm building a 32-bit or 64-bit library.
But attempting to build 4.1.2 doesn't even get past the './configure' step.First up it croaked because there was no curl library ... so I built and installed curl-7.21.6.
After that, I still can't get configure to succeed: checking for library containing xdr_void... no configure: error: Cannot locate library containing xdr functions.What are these "xdr functions", and how does one make them available on MS Windows ?
I tried googling for "xdr" and "xdr_void" but didn't come up with anything particularly illuminating.
(Note: I don't have any personal need to use the netcdf library .... this post is as much an "fyi" as anything else.)
Cheers, Rob
