We prefer output transcripts to be inline rather than file attachments,
because the latter require copying and pasting the relevant items back
from the attachment to provide context.
Anyway, the relevant output is:
In file included from __netcdf__.cc:32:
./netcdf_constants.h:154:53: error: use of undeclared identifier
'NC_INDEPENDENT'
netcdf_constants["NC_INDEPENDENT"] = octave_value(NC_INDEPENDENT);
^
./netcdf_constants.h:155:52: error: use of undeclared identifier
'NC_COLLECTIVE'
netcdf_constants["NC_COLLECTIVE"] = octave_value(NC_COLLECTIVE);
^
2 errors generated.
make: *** [__netcdf__.oct] Error 1
'make' returned the following error: mkoctfile __netcdf__.cc -L/sw/lib
-lnetcdf
error: called from 'pkg>configure_make' in file
/sw/share/octave/3.6.4/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1385, column 9
Following your idea, I modified the build process to make sure that
netcdf_contants.h is regenerated manually each time. That allows the
package to build, at least.
The fixed version should be available to you shortly via "fink
selfupdate". It will be version 1.0.2--I've gotten swamped so I'm only
slowly getting my packages caught up.
Thanks for the report.
