[netCDF #ZDY-666039]: NETCDF build with open64 compiler



Hi Uttam,

Thanks, it's very generous of you to offer to make the results of your
work available!  Unfortunately, for security reasons, we can't
distribute binaries we don't build here.  Also, there are so many
development environments avaiable now that we are intending to rely on
package maintainers for packaging systems such as rpm, dpkg, opencsw,
fink, etc. to make netCDF available for specific compilers, including
all dependencies such as for hdf5 and libcurl.

What would be helpful is if you could provide the URL of a web site
that provides notes on building netCDF with your compiler, such as are
provided for PGI and Intel compilers at:

 http://www.pgroup.com/resources/tips.htm#NETCDF
 
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/performance-tools-for-software-developers-building-netcdf-with-the-intel-compilers/

Alternatively, you could provide us with tips or settings that work
especially well with your compilers, and we could include them as an
entry in our web page on "Other Builds of the netCDF Package" at

 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html

> I really appreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks for using netCDF for testing your compilers!  If you would like
to test on the upcoming version 4.1.2-beta2 or the current snapshot
release at

 ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

we would be interested in fixing any problems you report on
portability of the code to your compilers.
