If everything went well in the build, it generates the binary /usr/bin/ncl, else rebuild (not use repositories) these packages: g2clib, triangle, udunits, hdf4 (>=4.2.14-4), and try again. For fresh install run 'source /etc/profile' or relogin.

Hi @micwoj92 I haven't had time to review and fix this package, would you like to help and co-maintain it?

Sorry for the delay with this package, I updated the links and made some build fixes but I couldn't test it 100% so I'm not sure if this builds fine (you know that if exists /usr/bin/ncl). I don't have much time to check it, any help/patches are welcome.

build breaks with

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

The fedora resources have moved from branches "master" to "main". The URLs in the PKGBUILD need to be adapted accordingly. The versions and checksums of the patches stay the same.

During compiling, there are many warning or error message related to some header file missing, stddef.h, limits.h, stdarg.h.
It's solved by adding options to "#define IncSearch" in "Site.local"

"-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/include" "-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/include-fixed"

I tested like that
1. go to ....../src/ncl-6.6.2/ni/src/lib/nfp
2. Add option "-DACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H" to CFLAGS in Makefile.
3. do "make"
=> I could find the libnfp.a.

Problem is that when makepkg, there is not Makefile in /src/ncl-6.6.2/ni/src/lib/nfp.
I tried the sed command under ".config/ymkmf" in PKGBUILD,

"sed '/^CFLAGS/ s/$/ "-DACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H"/' ni/src/lib/nfp/Makefile"

but it failed.

"sed: can't read ni/src/lib/nfp/Makefile: No such file or director"

I think Makefile is made during compiling..
I don't know how to fix PKGBUILD. I am not good at coding.
Any idea?

Hi guys, I will inspect the problem, (while) if someone wants to be a co-maintainer to help find these problems pl tell me

bakamotokatas commented on 2019-10-23 21:30 (UTC)

My compilation also doesn't generate ncl file. I am getting same error, as queenmedley mentioned.
