netcdf-porting
|
|
netcdf-porting is an unmoderated mailing list for questions and discussion of porting netCDF to new platforms. Although we try to support most platforms, it is not possible for Unidata to support all platforms. Currently supported netCDF platforms can be found on the daily testing web pages for netCDF-3 and netCDF-4. All other platforms are unsupported. Since netCDF has already been ported to many platforms, getting it to build and test on a new platform is usually not difficult. Bug reports (including build problems on currently supported platforms) should be sent to support-netcdf@unidata.ucar.edu. General purpose discussion of netCDF should take place in the netcdfgoup mailing list.
