From the version 2.30.0 ( November synchronised release) , Magics will by default use ecCodes .. We are in the process of updating this page.. |
Overview
From the 2.22.0 version, Magics will be is using CMake for its compilation and installation. This is a first step towards an homogenisation of the installation procedures for all ECMWF packages.
...
The following table lists the dependency Magics requires to be build from source. Please note, if you install this package from source you also might have to install the respective "-devel" packages of dependencies.
| Compilers | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| C++ | http://gcc.gnu.org/ | ||
| Fortran | http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/ | If Fortran or BUFR support needed | |
| Utilities | |||
make | http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ | ||
| cmake | https://cmake.org | > v2.8.4 | |
| Python Support | |||
| swig | http://www.swig.org/ | to generate the python interface | |
| python | http://www.python.org/ | ||
| python-numpy | http://www.numpy.org/ | ||
| Third party libraries | |||
| proj | http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ | Proj4 to handle projections | |
| boost | http://www.boost.org/ (Requires 1.5) | used for coastlines | |
| netcdf | http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ | if netcdf support needed Please note: You also need to install the legacy C++ interface and HDF5 | |
| pango | http://www.pango.org/ | if png/pdf support needed | |
| expat | http://expat.sourceforge.net/ | for XML parsing | |
| ECMWF libraries | |||
| grib-api | GRIB-API Home (Requires 1.9) | if GRIB support needed | |
| odb-api | ODB-API Home | if ODB support needed | |
| emoslib | EMOS | if BUFR support needed | |
Magics specific CMake options
After changing into the build Magics directory, the user has to run CMake with his/her own options. The command gives feedback on what requirements are fulfilled and what software is still required. Table below gives an overview of the different options of configure. The default (without any options) will compile a share library only and install it in /usr/local/.
| cmake options | doc | default |
|---|---|---|
ENABLE_GRIB | enable grib support | on |
| GRIB_API_PATH | where to find grib-api ( if non-standard installation ) | |
| ENABLE_NETCDF | enable netcdf support | on |
| NETCDF_PATH | where to find netcdf ( if non-standard installation ) | |
| ENABLE_ODB | enable odb support | off |
| ODB_API_PATH | where to find odb ( if non-standard installation ) | |
| ENABLE_BUFR | enable bufr support The bufr support is done through emoslib . | off |
| EMOS_PATH | Where to find emos lib ( if non-standard installation ) | |
| ENABLE_PYTHON | enable python interface | auto |
| ENABLE_FORTRAN | enable fortran interface | on |
| ENABLE_METVIEW | enable metview support(and Qt support) | off |
| ENABLE_CAIRO | enable cairo support | on |
| BOOST_ROOT | where to find boost ( if non-standard installation ) | |
| PROJ4_PATH | where to find proj4 ( if non-standard installation ) |
To make sure that a feature is really enabled, you will have to specify with the option ex: -DENABLE_GRIB=ON. In that case CMake will fail if the grib support can not be enabled.
