MPAS | netcdf-c-4.7.4 final link failed - nonrepresentable section on output

Issue

In order to write netCDF-4 files, you must have the NetCDF-4 C library (libnetcdf) - version 4.3.1 or above - available on your system, along with all supporting libraries (libhdf5, libz, etc). The details of this differ for each operating system.

nc-config and libnetcdf.so are expected to be generated. And, check with

nc-config --cflags nc-config --libs

netcdf-c-4.7.4

final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output

Solution

• [ ] have to add --disable-shared to avoid Error-ld: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output.
• [x] add -enable-static

Ref:

1. --enable-static vs --disable-shared

In the common case that these are switches to a "configure" script generated by Autoconf and Libtool, then they officially mean closely-related, but different, things. --enable-static means do build static libraries; --disable-shared means don't build shared libraries. If you want to be sure to get only static libraries, no matter what, you need to give both options. However, often just --disable-shared will have that effect, because think about the possibilities: if the package builds only static libraries by default, then --disable-shared is a no-op; if it builds both static and shared libraries by default, then you just have to turn off the shared libraries to get what you want; and if it builds only shared libraries by default, then you might think you need both options, but if you just say --disable-shared, Libtool will usually notice that it's now being asked to build nothing, assume that that couldn't possibly be what you wanted, and flip the --enable-static switch for you.

## -disable-dap：--disable-dap的原因是缺少一个‘curl’的lib
## 4.1.3以后的版本Fortran和C分开了。把disable--netcdf-4 写进去也无所谓
