[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #79249] History for MET V5.2 configure file question (UNCLASSIFIED)

Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
I am preparing to compile MET V5.2 and have reached the point of editing the
command line options in the configure script since I must disable
mode_graphics for the time being due to a problem with installing the Cairo
library . I am unfamiliar with the following options (listed below) and
could not find references to them in the User's Guide. What is your
recommendation regarding the status of these options listed below. The list
is an excerpt from the configure script. I assume that the current settings
for the options are the recommended default for most users. Specifically for
the block4 option, what are the main considerations? I would probably enable
the block4 given the choice, but would like your input.
Optional Features:
--disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as
--enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
--disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
--disable-block4 Disable use of BLOCK4 in the compilation. Use this
if you have trouble using PrepBufr files.
--enable-dependency-tracking
do not reject slow dependency extractors
--disable-dependency-tracking
speeds up one-time build
The tutorial and User's Guide state that the default location for
installation of the MET files is /usr/local/bin. But, in the tutorial it
states that "The remainder of this tutorial assumes that you have installed
MET in the top-level met-5.2 directory" which appears to indicate that the
preference is to not use the default location. Is the top-level met-5.2
directory the preferred over the default location?
Thanks.

Hi John.
I see you have some questions regarding the running of configure for
MET.
You shouldn't need to look inside the configure script, although, of
course
you can if you would like. The intention is that everything is laid
out
nicely for you on this page, under *Configuration*:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.2/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=configure
I wouldn't worry about any of the options you were reading about. I
think
simply running:
*./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis*
will work well for you.
If you had root access, a typical place to install the software would
be
/usr/local/bin. Otherwise, you generally can't install there.
It's simply a matter of preference to install where ever you would
like
to. Some people prefer to use the top-level met-5.2 directory, so
simply
using "*--prefix=`pwd`*" works well. Others may prefer to use their
home
directory so using "*--prefix=$HOME*" in that case, would work. Any
place
you'd like to install it, as long as you have permissions, is fine.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. If I made changes to the configure file to enable
and
disable the tools I wanted, should I go back and edit it again to undo
those
changes if I want to use the command you provided?
*./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis*
I made changes such as:
--disable-ensemble_stat --> --enable-ensemble_stat
--disable-grid_stat --> --enable-grid_stat
I made these because I wanted to make sure these tools were enabled
when I ran
configure.

Hi John.
I see you have some questions regarding the running of configure for
MET.
You shouldn't need to look inside the configure script, although, of
course
you can if you would like. The intention is that everything is laid
out
nicely for you on this page, under *Configuration*:
Caution-
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.2/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=configure
I wouldn't worry about any of the options you were reading about. I
think
simply running:
*./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis* will work
well for
you.
If you had root access, a typical place to install the software would
be
/usr/local/bin. Otherwise, you generally can't install there.
It's simply a matter of preference to install where ever you would
like to.
Some people prefer to use the top-level met-5.2 directory, so simply
using
"*--prefix=`pwd`*" works well. Others may prefer to use their home
directory
so using "*--prefix=$HOME*" in that case, would work. Any place you'd
like to
install it, as long as you have permissions, is fine.
I hope that helps.

Hi John. I would go ahead and revert the changes. Everything, except
for
support for grib2 files, modis support and mode graphics, is enabled
by
default. In the tutorial, we show the command to use to enable those
if
the user desires. I hope that helps.

Julie -
Thanks for clarifying how to proceed. I'll restore the configure file
back to
the original. I recorded the changes I made. I will use the command
you
provided earlier for the configure:
*./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis*
This will enable everything except mode-graphics which I want diabled
for the
time being.

As I attempted to revert the changes I realized that it would have
been better
to back-up the original configure file instead. So I decided to
delete the
MET install dir (met-5.2/) and all contents and start over again by
unpacking
the MET and MET patches tarballs which I had archived separately. I
now have a
new install dir and configure file to work with. So, I believe that I
am at
the point where I can run the configure command you provided
yesterday. I will
let you know how that goes.

Hi John. I would go ahead and revert the changes. Everything, except
for
support for grib2 files, modis support and mode graphics, is enabled
by
default. In the tutorial, we show the command to use to enable those
if
the user desires. I hope that helps.

Subject: MET V5.2 configure file question (UNCLASSIFIED)
From: Raby, John W USA CIV
Time: Wed Jan 25 08:05:00 2017
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
Julie -
I have an update on cairo. Just received an email from the system
admin. They
successfully compiled the library at:
/usr/cta/unsupported/cairo/1.14.6
Before I run configure for MET, I am considering modifying my .bashrc
file to
set the environment variables $MET_CAIROINC and $MET_CAIROLIB and
$MET_FREETYPEINC and $MET_FREETYPELIB following the tutorial guidance
at
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.2/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=configure
I believe this would change the MET configure command to:
./configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-grib2 --enable-modis --enable-
mode_graphics
How does the change in plans sound to you?
