How to install the software

Dependencies

Fimex requires at least the following libraries to be installed for compilation:

c99/c++ compiler

libxml2 >= 2.5.0

boost library >= 1.32 (1.33 for running tests)

proj-4 >= 4.4.9

To configure the different file formats it requires:

NetCDF (netcdf-3 > 3.6)

Felt (libmi)

Installation

The installation follows the usual autoconf rules, see 'INSTALL' for extensive information. Since Fimex makes some floating-point calculations in large loops, it is advisable to switch on SIMD/SSE operations in your compiler. On a Xeon machine with a x386 machine and gcc, I use the following flags (those are default for x86-64)

export libmi_CFLAGS=-I/disk1/metno/local/include
export milib_LIBS=-L/disk1/metno/local/lib -lmic -lmi -lg2c
CFLAGS='-O2 -mfpmath=sse -msse2' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -mfpmath=sse -msse2' ./configure --with-NetCDF-lib-dir=/usr/lib/netcdf-3 -with-NetCDF-include-dir=/usr/include/netcdf-3
make
make check
make install
