NetCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS variable missing on Linux for Windows

[eesa10-bu]

Hi,
I don't know if this is a known problem, but I was unable to run the cmake step on Linux for Windows (WSL - ubuntu). It exited with:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:146 (message):
  Could NOT find NetCDF (missing: NetCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:393 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  extern/flexout/cmake/Modules/FindNetCDF.cmake:80 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  extern/flexout/CMakeLists.txt:39 (find_package)

I solved the problem by changing line 19 of GOTM\code\extern\flexout\cmake\Modules\ FindNetCDF.cmake to
set(NetCDF_INCLUDE_DIRS ${includedir} CACHE STRING "NetCDF include directories" FORCE)
without FORCE the variable was not being set.

Regards, Noel

Hi Noel Thanks for reporting. I'm also testing on WSL and do not experience the issue you did. I think my version of CMake is newer - maybe 3.21 or so - maybe that can be the explenation. You know you can also download the oneAPI Fortran compiler and work on Windows. I actually share the code between Windows and WSL and build in two different folders depending on if I'm in Linux or Windows. Karsten Den ons. 4. jan. 2023 kl. 17.29 skrev eesa10-bu ***@***.***>:

Hi Karsten,

Thanks. My version of cmake is 3.16.3 - it was the default one that installed with sudo apt-get install cmake - I would have expected a newer version, but that's life! Serves me right for mixing Linux and Windows.

Noel.
