The MetCheck is a tool that validates the inventory metadata in .met file
using the description file .desc as the reference.
This tool depends on only the C standard library. Users do not
need to have
HDF4
,
HDF5
,
HDF-EOS2
or
HDF-EOS5
to build this tool.
However, during installation, we notice that there are a few errors that require to be fixed.
At the line 399 in metcheck.c, CheckSynErr function was defined
as static. We had to remove static modifier. Without this fix,
we got a compiler error because this function is declared as a non-static function in the
header file and this introduces inconsistency.
At the line 142 and 143 in lstList.c, two fields were initialized with
stderr, and GCC gave an error saying that the initializer is not constant.
We replaced stderr by NULL just to make this program compile.
To fix this problem correctly, users need to write a function that initializes this global
variable and call this function before any other functions.
The same compiler error occurred at the line 81 and 82 in strUtilities.
This program takes at least two inputs: a .met file for test and
a .desc file as the reference. The following command will validate
test.met file using ref.desc as the reference:
.met file is not consistent with the reference file,
error messages will be printed. For example, the following message was generated
when the value of INPUTPOINTER object differs:
