Several files in w3nco/v2.0.6/src had to be patched for thread-safety, (OpenMP compilers), and for using the GNU compilers in general. Files in bacio/v2.0.1/src had to be extended with preprocessor flags for MACOSX. nemsio_gfs had to be modified to exclude non-standard code.

Building:

To build these libraries, users are advised to load the same modules and set the environment variables (compilers and flags) as in the respective module file of NEMSfv3gfs (NEMSFV3GFS_DIR/modulefiles/SYSTEM.COMPILER/fv3).

The libraries are built and installed with

./make_ncep_libs.sh -s MACHINE -c COMPILER -d NCEPLIBS_DIR -o OPENMP -a COMPILEALL

Further information on the command line arguments can be obtained with

./make_ncep_libs.sh -h

The include files and libraries are installed to NCEPLIBS_DIR/{include,lib}

To remove the installed libraries, simply delete the contents of NCEPLIBS_DIR.
