[netCDF #DMM-591072]: [netcdfgroup] help compling c++ code with

Hi Jinyun,

> I'm new to netcdf. But I'm sure I installed netcdf4 correctly on my computer,
as it passed all the test. However, when I'm trying to link my .o files, I
received a chunk of errors such as:
> /usr/local/netcdf/netcdf-4.0/cxx/netcdf.cpp:172: undefined reference to
`nc_def_var'
> /usr/local/lib/libnetcdf_c++.a(netcdf.o): In function `NcFile::sync()':
> /usr/local/netcdf/netcdf-4.0/cxx/netcdf.cpp:275: undefined reference to
`nc_sync'
>
> The command I used for linking is as below: (assuming .o files are ready)
> #Specify the compiler
> CC =  g++

> #Specify the compiling flags
> CFLAGS = -c -I/usr/local/include
> #OFLAGS = -g -o
> OFLAGS = -O3 -o
> LFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf_c++

You need to add -lnetcdf after the -lnetcdf_c++ option, because the
C++ library calls the C library.  You may find other libraries are needed
as well, if you built netCDF with --enable-netcdf-4, because the netCDF
C library calls an HDF5 library and compression library as well.  If you
built without the --enable-netcdf-4 option to configure, then it may
be enough to just add -lnetcdf.
