[Met_help] Re: [Fwd: DTC announces release of Version 1 of Model Evaluation Tools (MET)]

[Dr. John Huddleston]

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
