eccodes-build-windows

Automated ECMWF EcCodes library and tools builds for Windows

This repository is almost empty and consists mostly of an appveyor build file. The original source code resides there : https://github.com/ecmwf/eccodes (Apache 2 License)

The stuff resides inside the releases page where compiled binaries are available.

The build system compiles EcCodes with the following features enabled :

• JPEG Support (via openjpeg)
• PNG Support (via libpng)

Those features should make tools/lib able to read all grib packings supported by EcCodes (tested with NOAA GFS, Méteo-France AROME/ARPEGE, DWD ICON, ECMWF WMO Essentials forecasts).

Requirements

• Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 as MSVC 2017 C Compiler toolchain and SDKs are used.

Installation

Grab the binaries zip (EcCodes-win-x64.zip) from the releases pages, unzip it to C:\, add C:\ECMWF\bin to your PATH and you are good to go. If you decide to unzip it anywhere else you will have to create 2 additional environment variables :

• ECCODES_DEFINITION_PATH, pointing to <UNZIPPED_PATH>\ECMWF\share\eccodes\definitions
• ECCODES_SAMPLES_PATH, pointing to <UNZIPPED_PATH>\ECMWF\share\eccodes\samples

So that the library and command line tools can find needed assets to operate.

Python 3 + eccodes-python package should work without any problem if eccodes.dll can be found in your PATH.

Possible evolutions

• 32bit build
• Chocolatey Package
