Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am trying to compile METv4.0. I have attached the user_defs.mk file with my configurations. I have also attached the error output from the make that occurs in the /src/basic/make execution. The offending file is affine.h. Does this look like a compiler issue? The compilers that I see as candidate GNU compilers in the Cygwin/bin director are gcc.exe and g++.exe. I have tried both within the user_defs.mk file. Please advise if you see any issues with my set-up. Thank you.

Caleb,
You're trying to compile METv4.0 via cygwin. When compiling MET,
"concat_string.cc" is the first file to be compiled. So you're
getting an error at the first step. Here's the relevant error from
make:
make[3]: C:/cygwin/bin: Command not found
So "make" thinks the C++ compiler is "C:/cygwin/bin" rather than
"C:/cygwin/bin/g++.exe" - which you've set in user_defs.mk. But I'm
really not sure why. MET can only be built using GNU Make, which
may or may not be the version of make you have available via cygwin.
Take a look in ":/cygwin/bin" and see if there are any other versions
of make in there, perhaps "gmake".
Unfortunately, I've never actually built MET via cygwin, so this will
likely be slow going. And I don't have access to cygwin other than on
my computer at home. Were you able to successfully compile
all of the libraries on which MET depends (BUFRLIB, NetCDF, GSL)?
Again, if you have access to a Linux box, I think installing and
running MET there would be much easier.
Sorry I don't have an easy answer for you.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

John,
John,
Thanks, understand it will be slow going. I know you warned me about
this but I really don't have much of a choice due to spending
constraints i.e. the government isn't about to buy me a LINUX box for
this exploratory project. I have thought about running a VM that has
Linux. Would that be a better option?
I was able to compile BUFRLIB, NetCDF, and GSL. Actually,
concat_string.cc compiled fine as the object file was created. It has
moved past the make for vx_log and vx_cal to the make for vx_math.
That's where I am running into the affine.cc/affine.h problem. If the
compiler wasn't working then I shouldn't be able to make it to this
point, no? There is a make.exe in the Cygwin/bin directory.
Please see attached and updated user_defs.mk. Thank you for any
support you can provide. Understand that you can't mimic the Cygwin
issues. Just hoping that you can diagnose what might cause errors
such as the attached.
Caleb

Caleb,
OK yes, I see the problem you're describing now. This error has never
come up before. I suspect there's a conflict with reserved names, as
described here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Reserved-
Names.html
I've created a modified version of affine.h and affine.cc that will
hopefully avoid the reserved name conflict. Can you please try
substituting in these files and recompiling? Please let me know if
that gets you past this error. If so, I can add these changes to the
repository and post a bugfix for them.
Thanks,
John

John,
That worked, thanks! Now I'm running into an issue with NetCDF but
that's probably miscompilation on my end. I'll look into it myself
and hopefully I can resolve it without your support. Thanks again.
