ncarg 6.4 el cap build fails

[basmac]

ncarg 6.4 builds fine on Sierra but ncl fails on El Cap.
attached El Cap log.

[basmac]

port -d install ncarg

[basmac]

NB. ncl 6.4 passes all the tests that 6.3 fails, on Sierra.

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

I don't have El Capitan, but I was able to reproduce the problem on Mavericks. There are two problems.

1. ezmapdemo, tdpackdemo and nnlag don't get libncarg_gks/awi/ggkwdr_stub.o linked. For each binary yMakefile needs a patch.
2. In ncarg2d/src/libncarg_gks/cdrivers and ni/src/lib/hlu, headers are included with <> rather than "". So those already installed are used. There are too many files to patch. So I decided to force deactivate the old version before build. This problem caused the failure of libhlu.a, which is essential for ncl. I'll report this problem upstream.

Done in [df8fcee84fc6dea6bcfc17c831f43b0decc40ea7/macports-ports] If you can build ncarg with ncl successfully, I will close this ticket.

Trying to rebuild ncarg, but getting errors in autopen and dirac....

[basmac]

ncarg and ncl build now using 6.4 as I removed autogen and dirac.
On tests thought that were fixed on 6.4 (bar.ncl) our local build works and the macports build fails.

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

The build issue for ncarg 6.4 was resolved. The script failure was resolved later by another update or rebuild, I do not know what or when. Ncarg is now several versions more recent, and not encountering this script failure.

Please close this ticket.

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

#53031 is the resolution for the reported script failure of "bar.ncl". That failure was an incompatibility between older versions of ncarg and a dependency.

That problem is solved. Please close this ticket.

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

I don't have arm64 Mac ready yet. As soon as I set up one, I'll work on this problem. Could be an upstream problem.
