Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I have no objections at all. On 3/28/2011 8:28 AM, Ed Hartnett wrote:
Howdy netCDFians! In the old days the netCDF F77 library was built into the netCDF C library. (This seemed natural, because it was really just a bunch of C functions anyway.) Fortran programs using the F77 API, and C programs linked with -lnetcdf. This idea does not work with shared libraries, so when shared libraries are built (now the default) a separate F77 library is built. Now C library users still link with -lnetcdf, but F77 library users must use -lnetcdff -lnetcdf. (Note the extra "f" at the end of the F77 library name.) Maintaining the ability to combine the C and F77 library is expensive in terms of programmer time. Will anyone object if I remove this option? Users will see no impact on their code. They will have to add "-lnetcdff" to their Makefiles for F77 programs. (This is already true for shared library builds.) Any comment or feedback welcome... Thanks, Ed
