[ncl-talk] Possible to convert grib2 or netcdf files to grib1?

Hi Colin,

I was able to get the cnvgrib program to compile, but it did require some
arm wrestling. Here are the steps I took:

[1] Download the w3lib-2.0.6.tar, g2lib-3.1.0.tar,
​ ​
jasper-1.900.1
​.zip, ​libpng-1.2.34.tar,
and cnvgrib-3.1.0.tar files from:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/

I recommend putting them all in a common root directory. Extract the tar
files using "tar -xvf *file*.tar", and the zip file using "unzip *file*.zip".
This should give you directories:

cnvgrib-3.1.0/
g2lib-3.1.0/
jasper-1.900.1/
libpng-1.2.34/
w3lib-2.0.6/

You need to compile the w3lib, libpng, jasper, and g2lib packages in order
to get the libraries needed to compile cnvgrib. If you already have these
libraries, then you can skip steps for building these.

*[2] libpng*

Cd to libpng-1.2.34 and type:

./configure
make

This should work without any modifications, especially if you have the GNU
compilers gcc and gfortran on your system. You should end up with a
.lib/libpng.a library.

*[3] jasper*

Just as with the libpng directory, cd to jasper-1.900.1 and type:

./configure
make

This should produce a src/libjasper/.libs/libjasper.a library.

*[4] g2clib*

Cd to g2lib-3.1.0 and edit the makefile (make a copy of it first).


You first need to modify the INCDIR line to point to your libpng and jasper
directories. Since I had put mine all in the same root directory, my INCDIR
line looked like this:

INCDIR
​ ​
=
​ ​
-I../jasper-1.900.1/src/libjasper/include -I../libpng-1.2.34

The makefile is set up to use g95 as the Fortran 90 compiler which I don't
have, so I modified it to use gfortran. The makefile has a section for
gfortran that you just need to uncomment, and then you need to comment out
the g95 section:

#--------------------------------------

# The following was used for GFORTRAN on LINUX

# ----- used with 64-bit machine  ---

#

DEFS=-DLINUX
FC=gfortran
CC=cc
FFLAGS=-O3 -I $(MODDIR) -fno-range-check
CFLAGS=-O3 $(DEFS) $(INCDIR) -D__64BIT__
CPP=cpp -P -C
MODDIR=.


#--------------------------------------

# The following was used for G95 on LINUX

#  ----- used with 32-bit machine  ---

#

# DEFS=-DLINUXG95

# FC=g95

# CC=cc

# CPP=cpp -P -C

# MODDIR=.

# CFLAGS=-O3 $(DEFS) $(INCDIR)

# FFLAGS=-O3 -g -I $(MODDIR)

Note that I had to add  -fno-range-check to the FFLAGS line, because
otherwise I got this error:

Error: Arithmetic overflow converting INTEGER(16) to INTEGER(4) at (1).
This check can be disabled with the option ‘-fno-range-check’

Type "make" and it should create "libg2.a". If it doesn't, and you get an
error about intmath.mod, then you may need to type something like this:

gfortran -c intmath.f

and then type make again.


*[5] w3lib*

Cd to w3lib-2.0.6 and edit the Makefile in that directory (make a backup
copy of it first).

Again, the Makefile is set up to use the "g95" Fortran compiler, so I
uncommented the section for the gfortran compiler and commented the g95
section:

# OPTIONS FOR GFORTRAN

F77     = gfortran
FFLAGS  = -g -O
CFLAGS  = -O -DLINUX -I/usr/include/malloc
CC      = cc
ARFLAGS =

# F77     = g95

# FFLAGS  = -g -O

# CFLAGS  = -O -DLINUX

# CC      = cc

# ARFLAGS =

Note that I had to add a "-I/usr/include/malloc", because otherwise one of
the files complained that it couldn't find "malloc.h".

Type "make" and this should produce a libw3.a library.

*[6] cnvgrib*

Assuming steps 2-5 were successful, you should now be able to build
cnvgrib. Edit the makefile and change "FC" to be gfortran, if this is the
compiler you're using. Otherwise change it to the desired compiler.

Then, you will need to change these lines:

INC = -I /pub/share/ncoops/g2lib-1.2.2

LIBS = -L/pub/share/ncoops/g2lib-1.2.2 -lg2\
       -L/pub/share/ncoops/w3lib-2.0 -lw3\
       -L/pub/share/ncoops/jasper-1.900.1/src/libjasper/.libs -ljasper
-lpng -lz

to point to your own versions of these packages.  If you built everything
as I described above, then these settings should work:

INC = -I ../g2lib-3.1.0

LIBS = -L../g2lib-3.1.0 -lg2\
       -L../w3lib-2.0.6 -lw3\
       -L../libpng-1.2.34/.libs \
       -L../jasper-1.900.1/src/libjasper/.libs -ljasper -lpng -lz

Type "make" and you should have a cnvgrib file.  :-)
