WINDOWS:

Use installer:

It's very simple! :) Just run surfit-3.0-setup.exe.

Building surfit from sources:

Under Windows surfit can be built with Microsoft VC++ vc8:

• extract archive surfit-3.0.tar.gz
• examine directories surfit-3.0/vc6, vc7 and vc8

Before building you need download and install following libraries:

• tcl8.4.15
• jpeg-6b (optional)
• netcdf (optional, need for GMT import/export support)
• zlib123-dll (optional)

Also you may want to download all libraries necessary for building surfit from www.gridding.info. This is a self-extracting archive, you should extract it near the surfit sources:

 + surfit
 + libs
        + acml       
         + jpeg-6b    
         + mkl        
         + netcdf     
         + readme.txt 
         + stxxl      
         + swig       
         + tcl8.4.15  
         + vc8_redist 
         + zlib123-dll

After that you can open projects in "vc8" directory or run make_debug.bat or make_release.bat

UNIX/Linux/MacOSX:

Use installer:

With Fedora Linux use surfit-3.0-fc7.rpm.

Building surfit from sources:

Ubuntu:

• install tcl

  $ sudo apt-get install tcl8.3 $ sudo apt-get install tcl8.3-dev

• install zlib

  $ sudo wget http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz $ cd zlib-1.2.3/ $ ./configure $ sudo make $ sudo make install

• install libjpeg

  $ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

• install netcdf library

  $ sudo wget http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf netcdf.tar.gz $ cd netcdf-3.6.2 $ ./configure $ sudo make $ sudo make install

• install surfit

  $ sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/surfit/surfit-3.0.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf surfit-3.0.tar.gz $ cd surfit-3.0 $ ./configure $ make $ make install

Others:

• install tcl

  $ wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.15-src.tar.gz $ tar -xvf tcl8.4.15-src.tar.gz $ cd tcl8.4.15 $ cd unix $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

• install zlib

  $ wget http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz $ tar -xvf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz $ cd zlib-1.2.3/ $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

• install libjpeg

  $ wget http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz $ tar -xvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz $ cd jpeg-6b $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

• install netcdf library

  $ sudo wget http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf.tar.gz $ sudo tar -xvf netcdf.tar.gz $ cd netcdf-3.6.2 $ ./configure $ sudo make $ sudo make install

• install surfit

  $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/surfit/surfit-3.0.tar.gz $ tar -xvf surfit-3.0.tar.gz $ cd surfit-3.0 $ ./configure $ make $ make install

Don't forget to check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. It must include surfit binaries path. For example use command:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
