With version 4.8.0, Metview is being built by default with ecCodes instead of GRIB-API for GRIB handling. See November synchronised release news item for more information. |
Overview
From version 4.5, Metview uses CMake for its compilation and installation. This is part of the process of homogenising the installation procedures for all ECMWF packages.
