Bug#728498: Fwd: libnetcdfc++4 does not include C++ NetCDF library!

[James Hiebert]

libnetcdf_c++4.a is missing

It will be built if you set --enable-cxx-4 during configure.

E.g.

hiebert at aether:~/src$ apt-get source libnetcdfc++4

Picking 'netcdf' as source package instead of 'libnetcdfc++4'

hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ ./configure --enable-cxx --enable-cxx-4

...

hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ make -j4

...

hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ find ./ -name "*.a"
./libdap2/.libs/libdap2.a
./libdispatch/.libs/libdispatch.a
./libdispatch/.libs/libnetcdf2.a
./liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.a
./libsrc4/.libs/libnetcdf4.a
./oc/.libs/liboc.a
./libsrc/.libs/libnetcdf3.a
./cxx/.libs/libnetcdf_c++.a
./cxx4/.libs/libnetcdf_c++4.a


libnetcdf_c++4.a should be included in the package, but it is not:

hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ dpkg -L libnetcdfc++4 | grep c++4.a
hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ dpkg -L libnetcdf-dev | grep c++4.a
hiebert at aether:~/src/netcdf-4.1.3$ 


Does this help clarify the issue?
