I'm attempting to use Kylix to develop a financial
application for linux using NetCDF. Kylix, i.e.
Borland's Delphi product for linux, expects a library
with a .so extention, not the .a that the NetCDF
package produces.
.so's are "shared object" libraries and .a's are "archive"
libraries. I have had luck in the past just doing a symbolic link
from one to the other:
ln -s libnetcdf.a libnetcdf.so
give it a try
Support-netcdf responded by saying
that I may wish to try using libtool. I have installed
libtool on my PC, but have no idea how to use it in
this context. I hope someone can help.
PC? I thought you were using linux in which case a:
man libtool
may produce the info you seek. alternatively a there should be a doc
dir or files in/near the src directory
Next I tried using Delphi under Win2000. I am
successful in using netcdf.dll,
that is equivalent to a .so in linux
but several of the
functions do not seem to be working correctly. I am
using a unit I found in the netcdf email archives.
Specifically:
from here on I'm not useful as we use the f77 bindings which are a
little different.
nc_inq_dimname does not seem to return a
string value. (I get "nil"). So does
nc_inq_varname
Again, any assistance for a beginning programmer like
me is greatly appreciated.
