This Howto shows how to build WRF-Fire and run an ideal test case.

The prerequisites are given by the needs of building WRF.

NetCDF, must be built with the Fortran interface using the same compiler as used for WRF. Set the environment variables FC and F90 to your Fortran compiler. Use the --disable-netcdf4 option in configure.
MPI (for a distributed memory build only), must be built with the Fortran interface using the same compiler as used for WRF. Make sure mpicc and mpif90 are on the search path.

Commit aa4ddf0997 Nov 15 2009 works with NetCDF 4, MPI 2, and
