How to Build and Install

git clone https://github.com/noaa-emc/nceplibs-bufr
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path1 -DMASTER_TABLE_DIR=path2 ../nceplibs-bufr
make -j4
ctest
make install

Both path1 and path2 may be full or relative pathnames on the system, up to a maximum of 90 characters each.

Installation of the library and utilities will be under path1. Installation of the master BUFR tables will be under path2, or under path1 if -DMASTER_TABLE_DIR=path2 is omitted from the above cmake command.

For Intel and GNU compilers, the library is built with three different type/size combinations:

• "4" = 4-byte integers and 4-byte reals
• "8" = 8-byte integers and 8-byte reals
• "d" = 4-byte integers and 8-byte reals

All type/size combinations are built and installed.

If Python interoperability is desired, -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON can also be added to the above cmake command. However, version 3 of Python must be installed and available on the system.
