Hi Todd, We would be very interested in a cmake solution such as you are developing. Ed Hartnett is the only one hear who can answer your questions and he's currently away from email for a few days, but until then, you could read the online overview of libtool that's available in "The Goat Book" http://sourceware.org/autobook/ It might answer some of your questions. Our Makefiles and configure script are generated using the GNU autoconf, automake, and libtool tools. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KVT-980429 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
