Compilation

Prerequisites

a C++ compiler a HDF4 library (http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/hdf4/)

Environment configuration

First, edit the hdfcpp-compil_env.sh script and set the pathes to the HDF4 library to match your environment by updating the variables : HDFINC=<HDF4-includes-directory> , where <HDF4-includes-directory> contains the HDF4 library includes : hdf.h, mfhdf.h… HDFLIBDIR=<HDF4-libraries-directory>, where <HDF4-libraries-directory> contains the HDF4 libraries : libdf.a, libmfhdf.a If you are on the ICARE systems, you shouldn’t have to modify it, all is configured for it by default. Then execute the script to export the script variables. In bash shell, this is done by running :

> export hdfcpp-compil_env.sh

Build

Configure the build step and eventually set the target installation directory (for instance –prefix=$HOME) by running :

> ./configure --prefix=<the-installation-directory>"

Build it :

> make

Install it :

> make install
