problems with CDO under cygwin (windows 7 64-bit)

Added by Philipp Stanzel over 9 years ago

Hi there,

I am trying to run CDO on a Windows 7 64-bit machine using Cygwin.

I am able to run Version 1.5.1, "the first binary release for cygwin", as desdcribed on the CDO for Windows page. There is no link to the respective file, but I found one with this version number on the following page:
https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo/wiki/Ram
However, when I try to read new NetCDF files (CORDEX data) I get "Unsupported file type (library support not compiled in)". Older NetCDF data works fine. Could it be that NetCDF4 is not supported in this version? Would it be possible to pre-build a new version supporting NetCDF4?

I also downloaded libs4cdo and tried to build it myself, as described on the CDO for Windows page. When I run the make command, everything seems to work fine (a lot of messages) until I get this message:
"Start configuring jasper-1.900.1:
checking build system type... acaux/config.guess: unable to guess system type"
In the following lines I got the message that the acaux/config.guess script might be out of date and a link for updating it is privided. When I replace the config.guess script with the updated one I get other error messages related to this script.
Actually, I wouldn't need jasper...

Maybe you can help either with configuring jasper, or with configuring libs4cdo without jasper, or with a binary running under cygwin that supports NetCDF4...

Thanks a lot !
Philipp

netcdf4 is not supported in the win32 binary, see Win32. With the cygwin-binary, it works, Try this

Thank you, Ralf !
Your cygwin-binary works fine,also with NetCDF4 files.
In the meantime, we also had cdo installed on our UNIX server, but I am happy to be able to run it also on my PC...
Thanks again, Philipp
