r.in.hdf compilation on grass5.0beta3:success

I've been able to compile r.in.hdf and r.out.hdf
by:

1. copying the updated version distributed by Markus
(ftp www.geog.uni-hannover.de
cd /incoming
grass.hdf.tar.gz
(ftp://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/incoming/grass.hdf.tar.gz)

to src.garden

2. cd src.garden/grass.hdf/HDF.lib

3. seting the variables
GRASSSRC to /usr/local/grass5.0beta/src
GMAKE /usr/local/grass5.0beta/src/CMD/gmake5.0
4. $GMAKE at src.garden/grass.hdf/HDF.lib
5. $GMAKE at src.garden/grass.hdf

Hi Agus,

when compiling GRASS 5, a "gmake5" is created in /usr/local/bin
and a "gmakelinks5" as well (same directory). Please just use these
scripts to compile single modules.
The src/CMD/gmake5.0 will not work any more by calling directly as
we have simplified the way to compile GRASS.

Hope this helps,

Markus

Hi Markus,

PS: If you get a new HDF-lib, please let me know.

The latest HDF-lib is available at
  http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/obtain.html
and the mirror sites (e.g. DLR:
  ftp://ftp.dfd.dlr.de/software/hdf/
DLR is up to v.4.1.2, at NCSA it is 4.1.3 and 5. Seems to me as if there
are major changes to v.5...

Regards,

Stephan

Hello,

Version 5 is a major update completely rewritten to address some
shortcomings of previous versions (like inability to work with files > 2GB
and a change in the main sponsors of the program :-). The data model has
been changed. The main HDF-EOS release is still version 4 and major
platforms like Modis and
Landsat have no plan to change to version 5. So I suggest you don't try to
use version 5 of the library.

Regarding the little_endian issue: the library writes platform independent
files. Because you read the files in through the same interface, the
little_endian - big_endian shouldn't be an issue. I suspect the 2 zoomed
out images from the upper quarters to be "browse" images - reduced
resolution images, that a user will see before downloading the entire file
if he uses a web interface like EDG. Try compiling with 4.1.3. My guess is
that it will work.
