package

prefix
defaults to ${HOME}/lrose
Available packages are:
lrose-core lrose-cidd lrose-radx lrose-blaze lrose-cyclone
We recommend just building the full core.
The default directories for installation are:
~/lrose/include
~/lrose/lib
~/lrose/bin
To build and install the full lrose package into the default directory:
./checkout_and_build_auto.py
To specfiy the sub-package, e.g.radx:
./checkout_and_build_auto.py --package lrose-radx
To set the install directory:
./checkout_and_build_auto.py --prefix /my/install/dir
To cleanup between builds:
./checkout_and_build_auto.py --clean
Try the commands:
~/lrose/bin/RadxPrint -h
~/lrose/bin/RadxConvert -h
~/lrose/bin/Radx2Grid -h
~/lrose/bin/HawkEye
If the build does not complete successfully, you will need to track down the errors.
The very first errors in the build are the most important.
If you get errors, go into the directory giving problems, and run the make as follows:
make |& less
and scroll down searching for error
.
Alternatively, run
make >& make.log
and then inspect the make.log file, searching for error
.
