Guangshan,
It looks like you are becoming an expert in this department. You're
right, you can't use the 32-bit NCL if you need to use WRAPIT,
because WRAPIT is going to use the default compiler options that are
set on your system.
You could modify WRAPIT to force the compiler into a 32-bit compile,
probably with a -m32 option. It's probably a 2 or 3 line change. I'm
still not sure whether this will work.
The sections to change in $NCARG_ROOT/bin/WRAPIT look like this:
======================================================
case Darwin: # MacOSX (g77/gfortran)
if ($debug == 1 && ($f90c == g77 || $f90c == gfortran)) then
# GNU
set fopts = "$fopts -v -c -fno-common -ffortran-bounds-check -
fno-second-u\
nderscore"
else
set fopts = "$fopts -c -O -fno-common -fno-second-underscore"
endif
breaksw
======================================================
You would need to add whatever gfortran compiler option that forces a
32-bit compile (-m32?) to the "fopts" line in both cases.
Then, you need to do the same for the "C" compiler section:
======================================================
case Darwin:
if ($debug == 1) then
set cmd = "gcc $copts -c -fno-common -I${NCARG_ROOT}/include
WRAPIT.c"
echo $cmd
else
set cmd = "gcc $copts -c -fno-common -O -I${NCARG_ROOT}/include
WRAPIT.c"
endif
======================================================
I am anxious to get a 64-bit build for a snow leopard system, but
don't have access to one. I can help you (or anybody else for that
matter) if you want to attempt this build.
