36.1 Building sfocu

The process is entirely manual, although Makefiles for certain machines have been provided. There are a few compile-time options which you set via the following preprocessor definitions in the Makefile (in the CDEFINES macro):

NO_HDF5

build without HDF5 support

NO_NCDF

build without PnetCDF support

NEED_MPI

certain parallel versions of HDF5 and all versions of PnetCDF need to be linked with the MPI library. This adds the necessary MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize calls to sfocu. There is no advantage to running sfocu on more than one processor; it will only give you multiple copies of the same report.
