Fortran, libf2c is static, etc. Fixed "hdfi.h" to work with any
architecture supported by NetBSD. Use "xdrposix.c" instead of
"xdrstdio.c" since the latter seems to be missing some functions.
Fixed "initialization from incompatible pointer type" warnings.
General improvements to Makefiles. Should build/work on any NetBSD
system now.
sensible value if a dependency is not yet installed. Problem noted by
Matthias Drochner with fix by Alistair Crooks.
Fixed `ncgen' to generate files which #include "netcdf_hdf.h" and
"netcdf_hdf.inc" thus allowing the HDF and netCDF packages to coexist.
Added test target in package Makefile for compiling and running the tests
for the libraries and the `ncdump' program.
HDF is a multi-object file format that facilitates the transfer of
various types of scientific data between machines and operating
systems. HDF allows self-definitions of data content and easy
extensibility for future enhancements or compatibility with other
standard formats. HDF includes Fortran and C calling interfaces, and
utilities to prepare raw image of data files or for use with other
NCSA software. The HDF library contains interfaces for storing and
retrieving compressed or uncompressed 8-bit and 24-bit raster images
with palettes, n-Dimensional scientific datasets and binary tables.
An interface is also included that allows arbitray grouping of other
HDF objects.
