Core C/C++ code for LROSE.
This project is maintained by NCAR
Install either the XCode development environment or a stand-alone version of the XCode command line tools. If you intend to do lots of Apple development and want to use an IDE, then install XCode.
You also need to install Homebrew. See:
NOTE - when using brew, do NOT use admin privileges. Always run brew as yourself, otherwise you will create permission problems.
You need to download the brew formula from the lrose repository. This formula is used to perform the homebrew build.
Download lrose-core.rb from:
Choose the latest version.
Let us assume you have downloaded the latest core distribution, containing all of the core apps.
cd ~/Downloads
brew install lrose-core.rb
Note that homebrew often prints warnings that are benign. This is because we are using formulae rather than casks. For example you should expect to see:
Error: Failed to load cask: lrose-core.rb
Cask 'lrose-core' is unreadable
Warning: Treating lrose-core.rb as a formula.
While homebrew is building, it creates log files so you can track the progress.
You can ignore the following message:
Warning: lrose-core dependency gcc was built with a different C++ standard
The location of the log files for the various distributions will be:
~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/lrose-core
~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/lrose-blaze
~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/lrose-cyclone
~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/radx
You will see the following log files:
00.options.out
01.configure.cc
01.configure
02.make
02.make.cc
03.make
03.make.cc
04.make
04.make.cc
The log files contain the following:
02.make contains the logs for building libs/tdrp.
You can watch the progress using:
tail -f 01.configure
tail -f 02.make
tail -f 03.make
tail -f 04.make
If the build is successful, lrose will be installed in:
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/bin
In these directories, links will be created that point to the actual files
in /usr/local/Cellar.
Try the commands:
/usr/local/bin/RadxPrint -h
/usr/local/bin/RadxConvert -h
/usr/local/bin/Radx2Grid -h
/usr/local/bin/HawkEye
When the time comes to upgrade, you will first need to uninstall the current version.
To find the name of the currently-installed lrose package, run:
brew list
This could be lrose, lrose-core, radx etc.
Suppose it is lrose-core.
Uninstall it as follows:
brew uninstall lrose-core
If needed, uninstall fractl, vortrac and samurai:
brew uninstall lrose-fractl lrose-vortrac lrose-samurai
Next, download the new version of the brew formula, from:
Choose from the appropriate distribution.
Then:
cd ~/Downloads
brew install lrose-core.rb
See install for checking on the install.
The fractl application performs dual-Doppler analysis. It is maintained by CSU. fractl is dependent on lrose-core.
fractl can be installed using the lrose-fractl.rb brew formula.
Download lrose-fractl.rb from:
To perform the install:
cd ~/Downloads
brew install lrose-fractl.rb
Note that homebrew often prints warnings that are benign. This is because we are using formulae rather than casks. For example you should expect to see:
Error: Failed to load cask: lrose-fractl.rb
Cask 'lrose-fractl' is unreadable
Warning: Treating lrose-fractl.rb as a formula.
fractl will be installed as:
/usr/local/bin/fractl
To upgrade:
brew uninstall lrose-fractl
brew install lrose-fractl.rb
The vortrac application analyses rotations in single Doppler data. It is maintained by CSU. vortrac is dependent on lrose-core.
vortrac can be installed using the lrose-vortrac.rb brew formula.
Download lrose-vortrac.rb from:
To perform the install:
cd ~/Downloads
brew install lrose-vortrac.rb
