How to build and install ecCodes library/tools
================================================
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00
Building and installation has been tested on several platforms and with several compilers.
However for some platforms modifications to the installation engine may be required.
If you encounter any problems during the installation procedure please send an e-mail
with your problem to:

Installation using CMake
------------------------
This is the recommended method of installation.
However it requires that cmake be installed on your system.

1. Download ecCodes from https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/Releases
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00
2. Unpack distribution:
> tar -xzf eccodes-x.y.z-Source.tar.gz
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00
3. Create a separate directory where to build ecCodes:
> mkdir build
> cd build
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00
2015-10-08 09:56:25 +00:00
4. Run cmake pointing to the source and specify the installation location:
> cmake ../eccodes-x.y.z-Source -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/where/you/install/eccodes
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00

It is recommended that you always build in a clean directory and also install into a clean directory.

5. Compile, test and install:
> make
2015-10-08 09:56:25 +00:00
> ctest
> make install
2013-03-25 12:04:10 +00:00
2015-12-09 18:15:38 +00:00
You can also pass options to the cmake command above. Some typical examples are:
2018-12-11 12:16:34 +00:00
-DENABLE_EXTRA_TESTS=ON Enable extended regression testing
2016-11-11 11:07:07 +00:00
-DENABLE_NETCDF=ON Enable GRIB to netCDF conversion
2016-08-25 12:11:05 +00:00
-DENABLE_ECCODES_THREADS=ON Enable POSIX threads
2015-12-09 18:15:38 +00:00
-DENABLE_JPG=ON Enable JPEG encoding/decoding (for GRIB packing)
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=pgf90 Set Fortran compiler to Portland Group F90 compiler
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O2 -Wall" Prepend the specified flags at the front
of the compilation command for C source files

2018-12-11 12:16:34 +00:00
By default the ctest step above does NOT require any data to be downloaded and only runs basic sanity tests.
However if you wish to exercise more of the functionality of ecCodes, you are advised to configure the build with:
> cmake ... -DENABLE_EXTRA_TESTS=ON
In this mode the tests will take longer and you need to be connected to the internet so data files can be downloaded
for the tests.
