+<dt><strong>Tool Name:</strong> <a name="Tools-H5CC">h5cc</a>
+<dt><strong>Syntax:</strong>
+ <dd><code>h5cc
+ [</code><em>OPTIONS</em><code>]</code> <em>&lt;compile line&gt;</em>
+<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
+ <dd>Helper script to compile HDF5 applications.
+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
+ <dd><p>
+ <code>h5cc</code> can be used in much the same way MPIch is used
+ to compile HDF5 program. It takes care of specifying where the
+ HDF5 header files and libraries are on the commandline.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <code>h5cc</code> supercedes all other compiler scripts in that
+ if you've used them to compile the HDF5 library, then
+ <code>h5cc</code> also uses those scripts. For examples, when
+ compiling an MPIch program, you use the <code>mpicc</code>
+ script. If you've built HDF5 using MPIch, then <code>h5cc</code>
+ uses the MPIch program for compilation.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Some programs use HDF5 in only a few modules. It isn't necessary
+ to use <code>h5cc</code> to compile those modules which don't use
+ HDF5. In fact, since <code>h5cc</code> is only a convenience
+ script, you are still able to compile HDF5 modules in the normal
+ way. In that case, you will have to specify the HDF5 libraries
+ and include paths yourself.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ An example of how to use HDF5 to compile the program
+ <code>hdf_prog</code> which consists of modules
+ <code>prog1.c</code> and <code>prog2.c</code> and uses the HDF5
+ shared library:
+
+ <pre>
+ # h5cc -c prog1.c
+ # h5cc -c prog2.c
+ # h5cc -shlib -o hdf_prog prog1.o prog2.o
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+<dt><strong>Options and Parameters:</strong>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>-help</code>
+ <dd>Prints a help message.
+ <dt><code>-echo</code>
+ <dd>Show all the shell commands executed.
+ <dt><code>-prefix=DIR</code>
+ <dd>Use the directory DIR to find HDF5 lib/ and include/
+ subdirectories [default: prefix specified when
+ configuring HDF5].
+ <dt><code>-show</code>
+ <dd>Show the commands without executing them.
+ <dt><code>-shlib</code>
+ <dd>Compile using shared HDF5 libraries.
+ <dt><code>-noshlib</code>
+ <dd>Compile using static HDF5 libraries [default].
+ <dt><em>&lt;compile line&gt;</em>
+ <dd>The normal compile line options for your compiler. h5cc
+ uses the same compiler you used to compile HDF5. Check
+ with your compiler's manual for more information on which
+ options are needed.
+ </dl>
+ <p>
+<dt><strong>Environment Variables:</strong>
+<br>
+ When set, these environment variables override some of the built-in
+ defaults of <code>h5cc</code>.
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>HDF5_CC</code>
+ <dd>Use a different C compiler.
+ <dt><code>HDF5_CLINKER</code>
+ <dd>Use a different linker.
+ <dt><code>HDF5_USE_SHLIB=[yes|no]</code>
+ <dd>Use shared version of the HDF5 library [default: no].
