radolan
-------------------------

Project 'radolan' is a little C++ library for reading radar data in Radolan format.
The radolan format has been created by the German weather forecast service (DWD)
for it's radar composite data. For further information check: http://www.dwd.de/RADOLAN

1. Building radolan

radolan's build process is governed by CMake (http://www.cmake.org/) in order to make
it easy to run on any computer. You will need to have these libraries installed before
running cmake:

      - boost
	  - libz
	  - hdf5
	  - netcdf

Optionally, shapelib is detected. If shapelib is not found, the conversion
utility radolan2shapelib will not be built.

Use your platform specific package managers to install those dependencies. 
CMake will look for the dependencies in the usual locations (/usr or /usr/local).
If you install dependencies in different locations, please consider the CMAKE
documentation and adjust the file CMakeLists.txt accordingly.

In order to create the makefiles, use the following command:

   cmake .

in the project directory. After that, run:

   make all

In order to install the resulting libraries, use:

   make install

Note that the last command may require sudo privileges. The standard location
for the installation is /usr/local.
