Hi,
I have successfully built the third party libraries (using ./BuildIt.py). However, when building the binaries, I get the error:

In file included from /export/home/l-p/mcanto/ocssw/ocssw-src/oel_hdf4/libnav/get_zenaz.c:3:0:
/export/home/l-p/mcanto/ocssw/opt/include/proj_api.h:37:2: error: #error 'To use the proj_api.h you must define the macro ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H'
#error 'To use the proj_api.h you must define the macro ACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H'

make[2]: *** [oel_hdf4/libnav/CMakeFiles/nav.dir/get_zenaz.c.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [oel_hdf4/libnav/CMakeFiles/nav.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Has someone encountered this problem and knows how to resolve it? Would very much appreciate any ideas! Complete make command log is attached.

Thank you in advance!

From the log, you seem to running the "make" command as root.   It is not good practice to do complex builds and installs as "root": 1) an error can do widespread damage to the system, 2) root's environment is often different from that of a regular user.   On my system, $OCSSWROOT/opt/include/proj_api.h has: #define PJ_VERSION 492, which matches the archive version: $OCSSWROOT/opt/src/proj4/proj.4-4.9.2.tar.gz.   It may be the NASA folks are in the process of preparing a new release so you ended up with an "under construction" version.

Thanks for the reply, George.
I am working inside a singularity module on a CentOS 7 dedicated for SeaDAS processing - no one else is using it but me. I remember previously that I had a write permission issue, hence the IT guy helping me suggested to invoke CentOS7 image inside the container as root. That build was successful until I had to do this current compilation/build.
I have proj-7.0.0 instead of 492 - you might be correct then about the "under construction" version :sad:

How did you get the lib3 source files (ocssw/opt/src)? 

When using the SeaDAS 7.5.3 GUI or the install_ocssw.py script you will get proj4 version 4.9.2.  It is true that our latest in-house development code is using proj version 7.0.0, but it is strange that you have that version using install_ocssw.py or the GUI.  Proj 7.0.0 has a few changes to the API which is the errors you are seeing.

Don - I've been working with Tess to get ocssw built on an old CentOS machine. Looks like I shared the wrong version of opt/src. I think we're getting closer to this building properly now. I will contact you directly with further detail.

Cheers,
