WRF 4.5.1 compiling issue - problem building executables

[teecee]

Hi, I've have been having issues with compiling WRF where I receive an issue with building executables. I have followed the tutorial here primarily.

I am using Ubuntu on Windows OS. To my knowledge I have most recent iterations of all required setup.

Attached are the compile log and configure file. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The errors shown in your compile log are these (and other similar ones):

wrf_io.f:(.text+0x46): undefined reference to `nf_strerror_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.o: in function `__ext_ncd_support_routines_MOD_gettimeindex':
wrf_io.f:(.text+0x549a): undefined reference to `nf_put_vara_text_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.o: in function `ext_ncd_get_var_td_char_':
wrf_io.f:(.text+0xcbfb): undefined reference to `nf_inq_varid_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.f:(.text+0xcc4c): undefined reference to `nf_inq_var_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.f:(.text+0xd222): undefined reference to `nf_inq_dimlen_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.f:(.text+0xd2f4): undefined reference to `nf_get_vara_text_'
/usr/bin/ld: wrf_io.o: in function `ext_ncd_get_var_td_logical_':
wrf_io.f:(.text+0xddc7): undefined reference to `nf_inq_varid_'

Any time there is an error like that, that mentions a reference to "nf_*" it's usually an issue with netCDF - either the NETCDF path is not set correctly, or the PATH is not set to the netcdf bin, or they are set to the wrong location, wrong version, or that the netCDF libary wasn't installed correctly. I would recommend following the steps in this tutorial to get WRF compiled on your system.
