This should help with relocatability: instead of generating eccodes-config.cmake with an absolute path to Third Party Libraries (TPLs) (e.g. /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6) we have the option to use the library name instead (e.g. -lm). We also use library names in eccodes-targets.cmake and eccodes.pc if the option is set. The motivation is so that we can distribute packages with conda-forge. Without this change, the conda-forge build leaves its build path in the files above. When we come to build another package downstream, e.g. Magics, we are unable to find the ecCodes libraries because the absolute paths to the TPLs are no longer valid. Using library names instead lets cmake find the TPLs on the downstream build system. |

ecCodes
ecCodes is a package developed by ECMWF which provides an application programming interface and a set of tools for decoding and encoding messages in the following formats:
- WMO FM-92 GRIB edition 1 and edition 2
- WMO FM-94 BUFR edition 3 and edition 4
- WMO GTS abbreviated header (only decoding)
A useful set of command line tools provide quick access to the messages. C, Fortran 90 and Python interfaces provide access to the main ecCodes functionality.
ecCodes is an evolution of GRIB API. It is designed to provide the user with a simple set of functions to access data from several formats with a key/value approach.

INSTALLATION
-
Download ecCodes from https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECC/Releases
-
Unpack distribution:
tar -xzf eccodes-x.y.z-Source.tar.gz
-
Create a separate directory where to build ecCodes:
mkdir build cd build
-
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
It is strongly recommended that you install into a clean directory
-
Compile, test and install:
make ctest make install
For more details, please see: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECC/ecCodes+installation
