[ncl-install] Compilation error in NclNetCdf.c

[Mary Haley]

Hi Matthieu,

Sorry about the delay in response.

Wei Huang posted this response, but it didn't go through, so I'm posting it for him:

There's a quick fix for this (other than just using a enabled NetCDF-4 library, which we recommend).

edit NclNetCdf.c, and for each function:
NetAddVarChunk, NetAddVarChunkCache, NetSetVarCompressLevel

make them look like:

functype funcname(....)
{
	some declaration;

#ifdef USE_NETCDF4
.....
#endif

	return functype;
}

Which is make them a (near-)empty function.

After this change, you can re-compile again.


Thanks,

Wei
