Build Notes

As a native application available on multiple platforms, XyGrib makes extensive use of the Qt framework.

Linux

• Prerequisite installs needed on your system: build-essential g++ make libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libproj-dev libnova-dev nettle-dev libpng16-dev libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev qtbase5-dev qt5-default
• Download XyGrib-src.tgz and extract archive
• Enter extracted folder and run 'make' and afterwards 'make install'

Problem with lib jasper not included in recent Ubuntu (>= 17.04) and Debian (>=9.0) A temporary solution is to use the following modified files

• Makefile
• src/Grib2Reader.h
• src/Grib2Record.h
• src/xyGrib.pro that can be found in https://github.com/dominiquehausser/XyGrib/tree/BuildOK_Ubuntu_GE1710 (modification of adaptation done by : MennoTammens (https://github.com/MennoTammens/XyGrib/commit/eaf7c8ff15d450413d5e2e885a1039150660b671)

MacOS

• Install Qt framework

• Install build dependencies (via MacPorts)

  sudo port install jasper libpng
  

• Build dependencies

  cd src/g2clib
  make -f makefile.osx
  

  Note: enc_jpeg2000.c includes a line that breaks on lib jasper > 1.9, comment out the offending line and the build should complete.

• Reset project environment and build

  qmake -r
  make
