To build: 1) WRFV2 should already be compiled, so that gridgen_model can be built with the IO API implementations in WRF's external directory. Given a compiled version of WRFV2, change gridgen's top-level Makefile by setting the value of WRF_DIR to the location of the WRFV2 directory. 2) Ensure that the values of FC and CC for the target machine in the top-level Makefile are set to the compilers used to build WRFV2. 3) Type 'make'. If a symbolic link to src/gridgen_model.exe appears in the top-level directory, the compilation was successful.
