The Metview source bundle is a single package containing the source code for MetviewMagicsGRIB ecCodes, ODB API and Emoslib. It allows for a simpler way to build and install Metview and the ECMWF software on which it depends. Instead of downloading, configuring, building, testing and installing each package separately, the bundle allows these steps to be performed for just one software package - the bundle itself. Building the bundle triggers the building of each of the component packages automatically, and they will 'see' each other, so for example Metview will be linked with the GRIB_API ecCodes which is part of the bundle, with no need to point it to an already-installed version.

...

Note that the bundle has two additional CMake options:

CMake OptionDescriptionDefault
ENABLE_EXPOSE_SUBPACKAGESConfigures the sub-packages to be installed into the same directory level as Metview. If set to OFF, they will
be installed into a sub-directory; this option could be useful in order to avoid clashing with pre-existing
installations of, for example, GRIB_API.
OFF
ENABLE_ECCODES
Please note: GRIB_API is no longer included in the bundle since the 2018.02.0 bundle release
Set this to OFF to build the bundle with the supplied GRIB_API instead of with the supplied ecCodes.ON
ENABLE_ODBSet this to ON to enable recognition and processing of ODB data with ODB_APIOFF
