-If you use -DLAMMPS_XDR, the build will include XDR compatibility
-files for doing particle dumps in XTC format.  This is only necessary
-if your platform does have its own XDR files available.  See the

 Use at most one of the -DLAMMPS_SMALLBIG, -DLAMMPS_BIGBIG,

 settings refer to use of 4-byte (small) vs 8-byte (big) integers

 The {xtc} style is part of the MISC package.  It is only enabled if
 LAMMPS was built with that package.  See the "Making
-LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.  This is
-because some machines may not support the low-level XDR data format
-that XTC files are written with, which will result in a compile-time
-error when a low-level include file is not found.  Putting this style
-in a package makes it easy to exclude from a LAMMPS build for those
-machines.  However, the MISC package also includes two compatibility
-header files and associated functions, which should be a suitable
-substitute on machines that do not have the appropriate native header
-files.  This option can be invoked at build time by adding
--DLAMMPS_XDR to the CCFLAGS variable in the appropriate low-level
-Makefile, e.g. src/MAKE/Makefile.foo.  This compatibility mode has
-been tested successfully on Cray XT3/XT4/XT5 and IBM BlueGene/L
-machines and should also work on IBM BG/P, and Windows XP/Vista/7
-machines.
