change allows for concurrent builds; e.g.
'mkdir build; cd build; ../configure'.
o Modified tst_netcdf4_4.sh to work with builds outside the source tree.
revision 2160, merged at revision 2269. Detailed notes are found in
the logs for the branch between those revisions.
The update, in broad changes:
o Updated test scripts to accomodate pathing differences in MSYS environment,
behavior of some functions in 64-bit windows.
o Modified a few functions to accomodate Windows, whereas previously windows
was ignored.
implementation. Deleted obsolete win32, soon to be replaced by Ward's
Windows 32- and 64-bit fixes for building with MSYS/MinGW. Made
cosmetic cleanup to output of "make check" to make it easier for users
to interpret. Fixed bug NCF-175: ncdump -t incorrectly interpreting
units attribute (such as "days") without a base time (such as "since
2007-01-01") as a time unit.
Changed name to 4.2.1-beta.
(on windows platforms), resulting in a downstream SIGSEGV upon memory
allocation of 0 bytes. Gave nvdims a default value of 1. This may not
be the best possible fix, but in the short term it has fixed the issue.
The problem would occur when NetCDF was compiled with NetCDF-4 support,
on Windows, in 64-bit mode, and when nctest/nctest.exe would run.
o Corrected the check for curl when building DLL. For some reason it just assumed it was missing? No real check was performed.
o Made configuration scripts a little more generic.
o Modified daputil.h to externalize nc__testurl on Windows.
of NC_ERANGE errors, especially with unsigned types, resolving most
NCF-172 issues and confusion between long and long long types in
llibsrc/ncx.m4. Eliminated some unnecessary tests, e.g. tests
for negative values for unsigned types.
in code and scripts.
Fixed bug NCF-171: error reading external int into longlong or writing
from longlong array to external int on 32-bit platforms and classic
format files.
Promoted test demonstrating NCF-171 bug from longlong array from
"extra test" to "test".
naming convention.
o Modified ncdump shell, test scripts so that the extra
digit in an exponent on windows wouldn't be a problem.
o Modified configure.ac to check for the zlib dll provided
by the zlib group; they recommend using the official dll for
windows builds.
range_error checks in netCDF-4 type conversion code. Made netCDF
attribute tests with type conversion more comprehensive and stringent,
fixing bugs identified with better tests. Changed a test in
nc_test/tst_atts.c to use netCDF-3 file instead of netCDF-4 file,
because that directory is supposed to be for tests that work with
--disable-netcdf-4. Added test demonstrating NCF-171 bug on 32-bit
platforms, only run when configured with --enable-extra-tests.
o include/nctime.h:
o Modified how the following functions are specified
external when building a DLL:
* cdRel2Iso
* cdChar2Comp
* Cdh2e
* Cde2h
* cdParseRelunits
