Libdap On Lion

MacBook Pro

June 6th, 2012

Installed Lion (OS X 10.7.4) on a newly formatted disk.

System: MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM.

Install command line gcc compiler.

1. Install XCode
2. Open XCode.
3. Goto XCode->Preferences->Downloads->Components
4. Install the Command Line Tools component.
5. Quit XCode after install completes.
6. Verify: In a shell type the command gcc --version. It should work, as in not fail.

Installed:

• libtool: /usr/local/bin/libtool

version: ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 from source

• m4: /usr/local/bin/m4

version: m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.13 from source

• autoconf: /usr/local/bin/autoconf

version: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.65 from source

• automake: /usr/local/bin/automake

version: automake (GNU automake) 1.11 from source

• dejagnu: /usr/local/bin/runtest (and others)

version: dejagnu-1.4.4 from source

• cppunit: /usr/local

version: cppunit-1.12.1 from source

• Checked the shrew project out from subversion (I am currently working on the xmlrequest branch: http://scm.opendap.org/svn/branch/shrew/hyrax_1.8_release).

In the top level I ran:

source spath.sh

autoreconf -fi

./configure --prefix=$prefix

make

make check

And it failed one test:

!!!FAILURES!!!
Test Results:
Run:  5   Failures: 1   Errors: 0


1) test: DODSFilterTest::get_das_last_modified_time_test (F) line: 195 DODSFilterTest.cc 
assertion failed
- Expression: df3->get_das_last_modified_time() == st.st_mtime


FAIL: DODSFilterTest

installed it anyway...

• szip: /usr/local

version: szip-2.1 from source (./configure --prefix=/usr/local)

• zlib: /usr/local

version: zlib-1.2.3 from source

• jpeg lib: /usr/local

version: jpeg-6b from source (ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz)

[note: jpeg-7 is now shipping, but hdf as of hdf4.2r4 won't pass tests with it! If you need 7, best to install it in it's own dir and NOT /usr/local ... (mjohnson 1 oct 2009)]

Notes:

- Doing a make install will only install the executable files. To install the libraries do the following:

cp libjpeg.a /usr/local/lib

cp *.h /usr/local/include

- You must install the jpeg library and includes in /usr/local or the ./configure script for the hdf4_handler won't find it.

• netcdf: /usr/local

version netcdf-3.6.3 from source (./configure --prefix=/usr/local)

• HDF4: /usr/local

version: HDF4.2r3 from source, (./configure --disable-fortran --with-jpeg=/usr/local --with-szlib=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local)

Updated

Configure with: ./configure --disable-fortran --with-szlib=/usr/local --disable-netcdf --enable-production --enable-shared

If you don't configure this correctly it's possible to install the HDF4 version of netcdf on top of the regular version and that will make all kinds of trouble.

Notes on libjpeg and hdf4.2r4 [mjohnson 1 oct 2009]: HDF4.2r4 won't pass tests with jpeg-7, the new dist. If you have it installed, you need to remove it and install jpeg-6b. Also, 4.2r4 fails to build with --enable-shared.

• hdf5: /usr/local

version hdf5-1.8.1 from source (./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-szlib=/usr/local --enable-cxx)

Continuing in the xmlrequest branch I checked out, built, and installed:

• bes
• dap-server
• freeform_handler
• hdf4_handler
• hdf5_handler
• netcdf_handler
