Building the NetCDF-4.2 and later Fortran libraries {#building_netcdf_fortran}
|
||
===================================================
|
||
|
||
[TOC]
|
||
|
||
In versions before 4.2, the Fortran netCDF library source was bundled
|
||
with the C library source in one distribution. With more recent
|
||
versions, the Fortran netCDF library has been split off into an
|
||
independent source distribution, intended to be built as a separate
|
||
library, *after* the C library is built and installed. This separation
|
||
simplifies the building and use of the C and Fortran netCDF libraries
|
||
and allows them to evolve independently.
|
||
|
||
More recently, building netcdf-fortran as an automated step in the
|
||
netcdf-c build is now possible (for non-MSVC builds) by using new
|
||
options at configure time, so if you haven't built and installed the
|
||
netCDF-C library yet, you may want to try the new netCDF-C <a
|
||
href="https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-c/current/getting_and_building_netcdf.html#getting"
|
||
>Fortran-bootstrap procedure</a>.
|
||
|
||
In the example commands below, we assume use of a
|
||
POSIX-standard shell, such as sh, bash, ksh, or zsh. If you are using
|
||
csh instead, you will have to use the
|
||
|
||
setenv ENV_VARIABLE value
|
||
|
||
syntax to set environment variables instead of the
|
||
|
||
ENV_VARIABLE=value
|
||
|
||
syntax used in the examples. In either case, `${VAR}` is the
|
||
value of the shell variable or environment variable VAR.
|
||
|
||
It will be easier to build the netCDF Fortran library if the C (and if
|
||
needed, HDF5) libraries are built as shared libraries (the default), but
|
||
you can also use static libraries, as described in a later section.
|
||
|
||
Building with shared libraries {#building_fortran_shared_libraries}
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
1. First make sure the netCDF C library has been built, tested, and
|
||
installed. The shell variable NCDIR should be set such that
|
||
the shared library for netCDF C is under `${NCDIR}/lib` and
|
||
netCDF utilities such as ncdump are under `${NCDIR}/bin`. For example:
|
||
|
||
NCDIR=/usr/local
|
||
|
||
2. The configure script will try to determine suitable Fortran and C
|
||
compilers for building netCDF Fortran, but you can instead specify
|
||
them with the FC and CC environment variables, if needed. For
|
||
example:
|
||
|
||
CC=/usr/local/cc
|
||
FC=/usr/local/fortran
|
||
|
||
3. If the netCDF C library was installed as a shared library in a
|
||
location that is not searched by default, you will need to set the
|
||
LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH environment variable (or DYLD\_LIBRARY\_PATH on
|
||
OSX) to specify that directory before running the configure script.
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${NCDIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
|
||
|
||
4. If you set the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH (or DYLD\_LIBRARY\_PATH)
|
||
environment variable in the previous step, don't use "sudo"
|
||
before the following "configure" or "make check" commands.
|
||
Using "sudo" causes the LD\_\* environment variables to be
|
||
ignored. You can use "sudo make install" as the last
|
||
step if necessary, but don't use "sudo" before that.
|
||
|
||
5. Set the shell variable `NFDIR` to where you want to install
|
||
netCDF Fortran, which can be the same location where the netCDF C
|
||
was installed (default /usr/local), but **not** the source
|
||
directory where you are building the software. Then, from the top-level
|
||
source directory, run the configure script, using CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to
|
||
specify where the netCDF C library was installed:
|
||
|
||
NFDIR=/usr/local
|
||
CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib \
|
||
./configure --prefix=${NFDIR}
|
||
|
||
If you are cross-compiling, you should also include the configure
|
||
option "--disable-fortran-type-check", as in:
|
||
|
||
CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib \
|
||
./configure --prefix=${NFDIR} --disable-fortran-type-check
|
||
|
||
To see other configure options, run `configure --help`.
|
||
|
||
6. If that succeeds, run
|
||
|
||
make check
|
||
|
||
7. If that succeeds, run
|
||
|
||
make install
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
sudo make install
|
||
|
||
If you encounter problems, send the complete "config.log" file
|
||
generated by running configure to support-netcdf@unidata.ucar.edu.
|
||
|
||
Building with static libraries {#building_fortran_with_static_libraries}
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
If you can't build the C netCDF library as a shared library or if it has
|
||
already been installed by someone else only as a static library (which
|
||
means there are no libnetcdf.so files in the library directory where the
|
||
netCDF C library was installed), then building and installing the
|
||
Fortran netCDF libraries will be more complicated.
|
||
|
||
1. The configure script will try to determine suitable Fortran and C
|
||
compilers for building netCDF Fortran, but you can also, specify
|
||
them with the FC and CC environment variables.
|
||
|
||
2. Assume the static netCDF C library is installed under `${NCDIR}`,
|
||
the HDF5 library under `${H5DIR}`, and other needed libraries
|
||
such as zlib and curl under `${ODIR}`. Some or all of these could
|
||
be the same (for example /usr/local).
|
||
|
||
3. Let the shell variable `${NFDIR}` specify where you want to
|
||
install the netCDF Fortran library. This can be the same location
|
||
where the netCDF C library is installed (default is /usr/local).
|
||
|
||
4. Set the CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH, and LIBS environment
|
||
variables to specify where the netCDF C library is installed and
|
||
where the other libraries may be found. For example:
|
||
|
||
CPPFLAGS="-I${NCDIR}/include -I${H5DIR}/include -I${ODIR}/include" \
|
||
LDFLAGS="-L${NCDIR}/lib -L${H5DIR}/lib -L${ODIR}/lib" \
|
||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${NCDIR}/lib:${H5DIR}/lib:${ODIR}/lib \
|
||
LIBS="-lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz -lcurl" \
|
||
./configure --disable-shared --prefix=${NCDIR}
|
||
|
||
If you are cross-compiling, you should also include the configure
|
||
option "--disable-fortran-type-check".
|
||
|
||
5. For parallel I/O: The configure script sets CFLAGS appropriately for
|
||
standard compilers, but if you are building with parallel I/O using
|
||
wrappers such as mpicc, mpif90, and mpif77, specify compilers
|
||
using the CC, FC, and F77 variables before configure. For example:
|
||
|
||
CC=mpicc FC=mpif90 F77=mpif77 CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include \
|
||
LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib ./configure --prefix=${NFDIR}
|
||
|
||
You may have to use absolute path names for CC, F90, and F77 if
|
||
configure can't find them. Finally, you may also need to set
|
||
CFLAGS to indicate which Fortran compiler is wrapped by mpif90 nd
|
||
mpif77. For example, if "mpif90 --show" indicates gfortran is
|
||
being used, then set CFLAGS=-DgFortran, and similarly set
|
||
CFLAGS=-DpgiFortran for Portland Group compilers.
|
||
|
||
6. If that succeeds, run "make check".
|
||
|
||
7. If that succeeds, run "make install" or "sudo make install".
|
||
|
||
If you encounter problems, send the complete "config.log" file
|
||
generated by running configure to support-netcdf@unidata.ucar.edu.
|
||
|
||
Linking your programs with netCDF Fortran libraries {#linking_against_netcdf_fortran}
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
If you built the shared libraries, you can link with something like
|
||
|
||
fortran my_prog.f -o my_prog -I${NFDIR}/include -L${NFDIR}/lib -lnetcdff
|
||
|
||
to link your Fortran software with the installed netCDF Fortran and C
|
||
libraries.
|
||
|
||
If you didn't install the shared libraries in a standard place, you
|
||
may need to set LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH (or DYLD\_LIBRARY\_PATH for OSX) to
|
||
include `${NFDIR}/lib` before running the resulting
|
||
program. Alternatively, you may add `${NFDIR}/lib` to the
|
||
LD\_RUN\_PATH environment variable before linking, or use the
|
||
`-Wl,-rpath -Wl,${NFDIR}/lib` linker flag, or have your system
|
||
administrator add `${NFDIR}/lib` to `/etc/ld.so.conf'. See
|
||
operating system documentation about shared libraries for more
|
||
information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
|
||
|
||
If you built static libraries, you will need to use something like
|
||
|
||
fortran my_prog.f -o my_prog -I${NFDIR}/include \
|
||
-L${NCDIR}/lib -lnetcdff -lnetcdf \
|
||
-L${H5DIR}/lib -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -L${ODIR} -lz -lcurl -lm
|
||
|
||
to link Fortran software with the installed Fortran library and the
|
||
libraries on which it depends.
|
||
|
||
A simpler alternative that should work for either shared or static
|
||
libraries is to use the "nf-config" utility installed in `${NFDIR}/bin`:
|
||
|
||
fortran my_prog.f -o my_prog `nf-config --fflags --flibs`
|
||
|
||
or the more general "pkg-config" utility, if you have it:
|
||
|
||
fortran my_prog.f -o my_prog `pkg-config --cflags --libs netcdf-fortran`
|
||
|
||
Specifying The Environment for Building {#specify_build_env_fortran}
|
||
========================================
|
||
|
||
For cross-compiles, the following environment variables can be used to override the default fortran/C type settings like this (in sh):
|
||
|
||
export NCBYTE_T="integer(selected_int_kind(2))"
|
||
export NCSHORT_T="integer*2"
|
||
export NF_INT1_T="integer(selected_int_kind(2))"
|
||
export NF_INT2_T="integer*2"
|
||
export NF_INT1_IS_C_SHORT=1
|
||
export NF_INT2_IS_C_SHORT=1
|
||
export NF_INT_IS_C_INT=1
|
||
export NF_REAL_IS_C_FLOAT=1
|
||
export NF_DOUBLEPRECISION_IS_C_DOUBLE=1
|
||
|
||
In this case you will need to run configure with `–disable-fortran-compiler-check` and `–disable-fortran-type-check`.
|
||

||
Environment Variable Description Notes
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
Variable | Usage | Description
|
||
---|---|---
|
||
CC | C compiler | If you don't specify this, the configure script will try to find a suitable C compiler. The default choice is gcc. If you wish to use a vendor compiler you must set CC to that compiler, and set other environment variables (as described below) to appropriate settings.
|
||
FC | Fortran compiler (if any) | If you don't specify this, the configure script will try to find a suitable Fortran and Fortran 77 compiler. Use –disable-f90 to disable the netCDF Fortran 90 API, but build the netCDF Fortran 77 API.
|
||
F77 | Fortran 77 compiler (if any) | Only specify this if your platform explicitly needs a different Fortran 77 compiler. Otherwise use FC to specify the Fortran compiler. If you don't specify this, the configure script will try to find a suitable Fortran compiler. For vendor compilers, make sure you're using the same vendor's Fortran 90 compiler. Using Fortran compilers from different vendors is not supported and may not work.
|
||
CFLAGS | C compiler flags | "-O -g2", for example.
|
||
CPPFLAGS | C preprocessor options | "-DNDEBUG" to omit assertion checks, for example.
|
||
FCFLAGS| Fortran 90 compiler flags | "-O" or "-g", for example. These flags will be used for FORTRAN 90. If setting these you may also need to set FFLAGS for the FORTRAN 77 test programs.
|
||
FFLAGS | Fortran 77 compiler flags | "-O" or "-g", for example. If you need to pass the same arguments to the FORTRAN 90 build, also set FCFLAGS.
|
||
ARFLAGS, NMFLAGS, FPP, M4FLAGS, LIBS, FLIBS, FLDFLAGS | Miscellaneous | One or more of these may be needed for some platforms. Unless required, you should not set these environment variables, because that may interfere with the configure script.
