vol2bird has been tested on Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OSX (Yosemite). There is no support for Windows.

vol2bird has two dependencies:

• the library RAVE, which contains functions to read/write files in OPERA HDF5 formate (ODIM_h5). RAVE is part of the Baltrad toolbox software package.
• the library confuse, which takes care of reading the configuration files of vol2bird.

Installing RAVE

To install RAVE as a stand-alone library, clone two baltrad repositories:

git clone git://git.baltrad.eu/rave.git
git clone git://git.baltrad.eu/hlhdf.git

Follow the installation instructions of each of these two repositories.

On Mac OSX, one edit needs to be made in the package directory of hlhdf: Edit the file def.mk in the root directory of the hlhdf package, and change the LDSHARED variable from -bundle into -dynamiclib

On Ubuntu, RAVE may also be installed via the BALTRAD node-installer, which automatically installs all required dependencies (including hlhdf).
To only install RAVE do

./setup --prefix=/your/installation/path/ --subsystems=STANDALONE_RAVE

Installing confuse

Confuse can be installed from source, and is available in Linux package managers.

On Mac OSX confuse can be installed via Macports:

port install libconfuse
