 ====== Building Metlibs and Diana with Autotools ======
-  * Download source 3.25.0
+**OUTDATED:** //This page is no longer up to date, diana and metlibs are now built using cmake.//
-    *  [[ftp://ftp.met.no/projects/diana/metlibs-4.1.0.tar.gz|metlibs-4.1]]
-    * [[ftp://ftp.met.no/projects/diana/diana-3.25.0.tar.gz|diana-3.25.0]]
-They both use a number of specially-written autoconf macros, which can be found in metlibs' ''m4'' subdirectory.
+This document describes how to build the Diana application and its main dependencies (Fimex and Metlibs) from source code, focusing on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) and Fedora 20. We provide commands to install further dependencies as they are needed, but this assumes that previous steps have been followed. For example, we list the common dependencies between Metlibs and Fimex as Fimex dependencies.

-  * libxt-dev
+                 qt-devel
+</code>
+===== Diana =====
+Diana can be configured to be used for creating animations. If this is desired then libavformat and its development headers need to be installed. On Ubuntu 12.04, a package exists for the optional EMOSLIB dependency, required to support viewing of observation files. However, it is not available for every distribution.
+==== Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) ====
-**Without optional libraries:**
 <code>
-sudo apt-get install libshp-dev libxt-dev
+sudo apt-get install libemos-dev libgrib-api-dev libshp-dev libxt-dev
 </code>
-**With optional libraries:**
+==== Fedora 20 ====
+For observation buffer support in Diana, install EMOSLIB [[https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/EMOS/Emoslib|from source]].
 <code>
-sudo apt-get install libshp-dev libavformat-dev libxt-dev
+sudo yum install grib_api-devel shapelib-devel
 </code>
-For observation buffer support in Diana:
+===== Installing Fimex =====
-  * ''EMOSLIB'' (no package; install manually [[http://www.ecmwf.int/products/data/software/interpolation.html|from source]])
-For GRIB support in Metlibs and Diana:
+Enter the ''fimex'' directory and configure the library with the following command:
-  * ''GRIB API'' (no package; install manually [[http://www.ecmwf.int/products/data/software/download/grib_api.html|from source]])
-For fimex support in Metlibs and Diana:
+<code>
-  * ''libfimex-dev'' (no package; install manually [[https://wiki.met.no/fimex/start|from source]])
+./configure
+</code>
-Except for those marked with (*), ''configure'' will terminate with an error message if any required package is absent.
+If you want to install the library in an alternative location, specify it using the <nowiki>--prefix</nowiki>
+option; for example, use the following command to specify a directory inside the user's home directory:
+<code>
+./configure --prefix=$HOME/diana
+</code>
-===== Installation ======
+Build and install the library with the following commands:
+<code>
+make
+make install
+</code>
+You may need root privileges to install the library unless you specified a
+prefix in the configuration step.
+===== Installing Metlibs ======
+Enter the subdirectories for each of the metlibs modules, configuring, building and installing them using the scripts listed below. Note that, by default, the libraries will be installed under ''/usr/local'' unless you specify a prefix to the configure script, such as <nowiki>--prefix=$HOME/diana</nowiki> to install the libraries in the ''diana'' directory inside the user's home directory.
+<code>
+#/bin/sh
+set -e
+THIS_DIR=`pwd`
+# uncomment next line on Fedora
+#PREFIX="--prefix=/usr/local"
+SUDO=sudo
+for l in milogger puctools putools pudatatypes qutilities coserver; do
+  cd "$THIS_DIR/metlibs-$l"
+  ./autogen.sh && ./configure $PREFIX && make
+  $SUDO make install
+done
+</code>
+===== Installing Diana =====
+**Note:** By default, support for observation buffers is conditionally enabled and video export is enabled. To disable video support, append the <nowiki>--disable-video-support</nowiki> option to the command line you use to configure the build.
+==== Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) ====
+Enter the ''diana'' directory. If you have root privileges on your system, configure the library by running the configure script:
+<code>
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-xlib --enable-geotiff
+</code>
+To configure the library for installation in a directory where you have permission to write files (for example, $HOME/diana for a directory in the user's home directory), use the <nowiki>--prefix</nowiki> option to specify the installation directory:
+<code>
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-xlib --enable-geotiff --prefix=$HOME/diana
+</code>
+==== Fedora 20 ====
+Enter the ''diana'' directory. If you have root privileges on your system, configure the library by running the configure script:
+<code>
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-xlib --enable-geotiff --prefix=/usr/local \
+            --with-png-libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-vcross-v2 --with-udunits2-includedir=/usr/include/udunits2
+</code>
+To configure the library for installation in a directory where you have permission to write files (for example, $HOME/diana for a directory in the user's home directory), use the <nowiki>--prefix</nowiki> option to specify the installation directory:
+<code>
+./autogen.sh
+./configure --enable-xlib --enable-geotiff --prefix=$HOME/diana \
+            --with-png-libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-vcross-v2 --with-udunits2-includedir=/usr/include/udunits2
+</code>
+==== Building ====
+Build and install the application with the following commands:
+<code>
+make
+make install
+</code>
-==== Metlibs ====
+You may need root privileges to install the application unless you specified a prefix in the configuration step.
-By default, all modules are enabled except for ''GribAPI'', "geotiff", "fimex", ''pods'', ''profet'' and ''proFunctions''.
+If you want to use the video export function, you have to install the ''avconv'' utility.
-==== Diana ====
+  * Ubuntu/Debian: ''sudo apt-get install libav-tools''
-By default, support for ''profet'' and observation buffers is disabled, while video export is enabled.
