Build

MacOS

ncpp is available via MacPorts or follow the MacOS build environment directions to build from source.

Dependencies

Redhat

openmotif-devel (motif-devel CentOS 8 & Fedora)
netcdf-devel
netcdf-cxx-devel
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi

Ubuntu Focal (20.04)

libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev
libmotif-dev
libnetcdf-dev

ncpp can be built on any Unix platform, including MacOS. Motif GUI toolkit is the limiting factor.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ncar/ncpp
cd ncpp

Edit the SConstruct file and uncomment this line (remove the '#') for Ubuntu:

#env.Append(CPPDEFINES=['UBUNTU'])

and build:

ncpp's Issues

The build ignores env settings and picks a random g++ which fails to work when C++11 not supported by /usr/bin/g++

Could you say how to specify the needed compiler? It requires C++11, but I environment settings are ignored by the build, and it picks a default system compiler, which fails:
