Good morning<br>
<br>
I ran gdb and stepped through the Cygwin build of MET v1.0. You can see
the results below. It does indeed fail at the engine.set function
call. During the build there were two include files that had warnings
on a deprecated use of interger and character* Maybe that has something
to do with it.<br>

<pre wrap="">John,
Sounds like quite an effort! I haven't tried to port MET to cygwin yet myself. But I could give it a shot if there are enough users who would be interested in that.
I would like to hear about what type of issues you've turned up. I looked through the attached PDF, and unfortunately there isn't anything obvious in there. All MODE is doing there is reading
through several grib records in the input grib file and dumping out header information about them (when -v >= 3). I don't see any warning or error messages in there. When you ran that MODE command,
what happens next? Does it just hang or is there some error message that wasn't included at the end of the PDF? The last status message from MODE says that it's defining the objects in the forecast
and observation fields.
When I run that same command here (with -v 1), here's the messages that are printed to the screen:

<pre wrap="">Good morning,
I finally got a chance to build the METv1.0 system under Windows using
Cygwin. Attached is an output of the run of the third sample from the
test_mode.sh script. This was run using the GNU debugger "gdb" command
and I added the "-v 5" option on the tail end of the run under gdb.
It took many hours to get this far. The default compiler for Cygwin is
3.4.4 which includes g77 but not gfortran. So, I built GCC 4.2.0. That
alone took six hours. Then I had to rebuild NetCDF. I used 3.6.1 because
I remember someone saying that 3.6.2 had problems with METv0.9. I tried
many combinations of 4.2.0 and 3.4.4 compilers.
I'll try and summarize all the failures and tar them up in a new email;
however, I was hoping someone could take a look at the PDF file and
maybe they can see something obvious.
Thank you
John

<pre wrap="">Dear MET beta users,
I apologize if you have already received the attached message, but we
wanted to be sure that all of you received this notice about Version 1
of the Model Evaluation Tools.
Many of you provided useful comments on MET that were taken into
account as we put together the current release - we greatly appreciate
your feedback, which led to significant improvements to MET. We hope
you'll continue to let us know about problems you encounter and
improvements and enhancements that you would like to have included in
future releases.
Best regards from the
MET development team

Subject: DTC announces release of Version 1 of Model Evaluation
Tools (MET)
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:48:02 -0700
From: Barbara Brown <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:bgb@ucar.edu"><bgb@ucar.edu></a>

Dear WRF Users,
The MET Development Team at the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC)
proudly announce the formal release of their verification software,
the Model Evaluation Tools (MET) version 1.0, available on the MET
website: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users">http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users</a>
MET is designed to be a highly-configurable, state-of-the-art suite of
verification tools. MET was developed using output from the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) modeling system may but has been
applied to the output of other modeling systems as well. MET provides
a variety of verification techniques for gridded numerical weather
forecasts, including:
* Standard verification scores comparing gridded model data to
point-based observations
* Standard verification scores comparing gridded model data to
gridded analyses
* Object-based verification method comparing gridded model data to
gridded observations
Additional verification techniques and analysis tools will be
supported for community use in the future, depending on interest and
availability of resources. Please visit:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users">http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users</a> for more information on MET,
including download and installation instructions.
We thank those of you who volunteered as beta testers. Many of you
provided valuable feedback that provided us with ideas on how to
improve MET. Changes since the beta version include bug fixes, two
new tools (the VSDB-analysis tool and the MODE-analysis tool), the
inclusion of derived quantities, and a variety of other improvements.
Thanks to the U.S. Air Force Weather Agency for their support of this
work. Thanks also to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration for their support of the Developmental Testbed Center.
Sincerely,
The MET Development Team
Barbara Brown, Lacey Holland, John Halley Gotway, Randy Bullock, Eric
Gilleland, and David Ahijevych
