User:Mwestfp/NetcdfTestCase

This is a simple testcase for the netcdf package.

The  package does a   when it builds, which extensively tests the functionality of the package. This testcase is thus much less exhaustive, and really only checks that the binaries, headers, and libraries are in the right places (avoiding, e.g. bug 660035). To do this, it uses  to produce a simple NetCDF file, and then compiles and runs C and Fortran 90 programs to read this file.

To test a new version of  you should first prepare with: yum install netcdf netcdf-devel gcc gcc-fortran make yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update netcdf netcdf-devel Then download, unpack it, and do  in the test directory. If the test passed then you should see, otherwise there will be some error.
