WDB - Water and Weather Database System
============================================================
Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no)

NORWAY

WDB is a database system for storage and retrieval of weather and
water observations and forecasts. It handles both gridded data
(raster) and point data.
Installation
============
Please refer to the file INSTALL for generic installation instructions.
Requirements
------------
WDB requires that a PostgreSQL installation is installed and available.
In addition, it requires the following libraries:
* postgis (www.postgis.org)
* grib-api (www.ecmwf.eu/products/data/software/grib_api.html)
* boost (www.boost.org)
* log4cpp (log4cpp.sourceforge.net)
* proj.4 (proj.maptools.org)
* GNU Readline (tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html)
The following technologies are also used, if present:
* CppUnit (cppunit.sourceforge.net)
* xmlto (www.docbook.org)
* doxygen (www.doxygen.org)
The configuration script should be able to locate these libraries if
they are installed on your system. If the script has difficulty
locating the libraries, you may assist it by explicitly specifying the
directories for the configure script. For more information about this,
run:
./configure --help
Requirements when installing
----------------------------
If the install procedure fails, please note the following:
- A postgresql database must be up and running before installation is
attempted. The user running the installation script must have rights
to create a new database on the DBMS.
- Installation will fail if AUTOVACUUM is not turned on (from
PostgreSQL 8.3, this is the default). Please refer to the postgresql
documentation for details on autovacuum and how to turn it on.
- Installation of the database will fail if you attempt to install the
database twice. If you need to overwrite the old installation, you
must first remove the old version of the database.
Other useful make targets
----------------------------
As stated in the INSTALL notes, ./configure; make; make install handles
the compilation and installation of the WDB system (provided the
requirements stated above are fulfilled). The following make targets
may also be of interest.
- uninstall
Uninstall the WDB system.
- html
Generates html-based documentation for WDB utilizing docbook.
- pdf
Generates documentation for WDB in PDF format utilizing docbook.
- doxygen-doc
Generates developer documentation for the WDB source code using
doxygen.
- check
Runs the WDB unit tests.
- installcheck
Runs the WDB install tests. These verify that you have a correctly
functioning installation of WDB. They require that you have
successfully installed WDB on the system.
- performancecheck
Runs the WDB performance tests. They require that you have a
working installation of WDB.

documentation is available as XML markup, using the docbook format.
