Configure Dockerfiles to use IDL #1

Open kkotyk opened 7 years ago

kkotyk commented 7 years ago

The current docker files will not have access to IDL, and use the trick to unset DLMPATH and delete codebase/superdarn/src.lib/tk/idl in order to compile. Once a strategy is found to handle both IDL and non IDL installs, the IDL installation directory can be mounted into the Docker image when run docker run -it -v /host/dir:/image/dir image_name /bin/bash and the Dockerfiles can be updated with any path changes needed.

There is an open-source alternative to IDL called GDL (http://gnudatalanguage.sourceforge.net/) but it might require major revisions to the existing RST to get the DLMs to work.
