Arch Linux User Repository

Uses the built-in statically linked libraries instead of trying to modify the makefile to work with Arch dependencies. See https://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib2/_README.nolib for details.

Never able to install this package. Found a temp solution myself as shown below:-

1. Downloaded the latest pre-compile wgrib2 binary from anaoconda repo https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/wgrib2/files.

2. The binary expected libjasper.so.1 and libmysqlclient.so.18 but Arch had only libjasper.so and libmysqlclient.so

3. Made a soft link point to Arch Linux libraries as indicated below:- sudo ln /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 and sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libjasper.so /usr/lib/libjasper.so.1

4. Executed wgirb2 and it happily printed the list of available options.

5. Hope it helps someone scratching their head for the answer.

Does not compile. Received the following error:-

Any help to successful install is appreciated.

Hi,

PROJ will be permanently removing proj_api.h starting from version 7. Solution is to modify wgrib2.patch file and append -DACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H=1 at line 100 and adjust md5 sum accordingly

From https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/836:

From version 6.0.0 proj_api.h will be deprecated. proj_api.h will not be included as a public header file from PROJ 7.0.0 and onwards. We want to make that clear from version 6.0.0 by requiring that users that want to use proj_api.h #define a macro like ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H. If the macro is not defined a compile-time error should be raised declaring that the user is including a deprecated API.

During compile, it failed to proj.
The proj-6.1.0-1 is already installed on my pc.
Any idea?

Also, shouldn't gcc-fortran be in the makedepends ?

Building this package fails on my machine witht he following errors: wgrib2.o: In function `main': wgrib2.c:(.text.startup+0x15a9): undefined reference to `init' GDT.o: In function `f_gdt': GDT.c:(.text+0x87): undefined reference to `g2_unpack3' Gctpc.o: In function `gctpc_get_latlon': Gctpc.c:(.text+0x346): undefined reference to `psforint' Gctpc.c:(.text+0x392): undefined reference to `psfor' Gctpc.c:(.text+0x3e0): undefined reference to `psinvint' Gctpc.c:(.text+0x3e9): undefined reference to `psinv' ...

I had to update the wgrib2.patch file to include the "-fPIC" option in the wFFLAGS variable. Otherwise, I get errors like this when it links the wgrib2 binary ($SRCDIR is not literally in the output, I put that there for clarity): /usr/bin/ld: $SRCDIR/grib2/lib/libipolate.a(polates0.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.data' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Corrected as per the comment. No problem in changing the static with dynamic linking (storage space is reduced). The change is needed because of the decision not to include anymore static libraries in packages: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-March/024552.html New packages do not have anymore static libraries, but the netCDF was updated only recently.

wgrib2.patch seeks /usr/lib/libnetcdf.a and (on my system) causes make to fail. I notice that if I modify the patch to /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so and update the md5sum in PKGBUILD the package is builds ok. Is there any good reason not to do that?
