Description of source and Makefile: ---------------------------------- The DARN Radar plotting support software written in C and in Fortran is used in conjunction with the CDAWlib IDL software. The source code was originaly provided to NSSDC by JHU/APL. The code was modified for CDAWlib and a Makefile was assembled. The Makefile generates a shared object module which is linked w/ CDAWlib through the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Modify this variable, set in compile_cdaweb.pro, to the path of the module. Although dependencies for other platforms are included in the Makefile. The code has only been tested on SunOS and DecAlpha platforms. Radar Installation Instructions: ------------------------------ This software is provided in several different forms, please use one of the following that is suitable for your system and its utilities: as a "tar" file compressed with the "compress" utility, compressed using Gnu "gzip", and not compressed. To uncommpress 'Radar_lib.tar.Z' use the uncompress command as follows... uncompress Radar_lib.tar.Z To uncommpress 'Radar_lib.tar.gz' use the gzip command as follows... gzip -d Radar_lib.tar.gz In either case the resulting file will be named 'Radar_lib.tar'. Then use the "tar" command to extract the source files. "tar" will put all of the source files into the current working directory. The syntax for the `tar' command is different on some flavors of UNIX. For most UNIX systems (and the POSIX shell) use... tar -xvof CDAWlib.tar For the IBM-RS6000/AIX use... tar -x -v -f CDAWlib.tar
