+<hr class="first" >
+<p class="note">Notes:</p>
+<p>The following instructions assume that the HDF5 source code package from<a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu" target="_blank">
+HDF website (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu)</a>
+is used.

+
+<h2><a name="preconditions">Preconditions</a> </h2>
+<hr class="second" >
+
+<p>Please read CAREFULLY about the following preconditions and notes first.</p>
+
+ <h4>1. Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 or Intel C compiler and WinZip.</h4>
+ <p>Installed Compaq Visual Fortran compiler(6.0 or higher version),
+ or Intel Fortran compiler if you want to build HDF5 Fortran
+ libraries.
+ </p>
+ <p class="note">Notes:</p>
+ <p> By default, WinZip will convert the Unix end of line format
+ when extracting .tar file. This conversion will cause
+ "false" failure in some HDF5 tools testings.
+
+ Please uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option
+ in your WinZip to prevent the conversion when extracting
+ .tar file.
+
+ To uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option:
+
+ Invoke WinZip, go to "Options", select "Configuration..."
+
+ Click the "Miscellaneous" tab and uncheck "TAR file smart
+ CR/LF conversion" option, then click OK.
+
+ </p>
+ <h4>2. Set up a directory structure to unpack the library.</h4>
+ <p> For example:</p>
+ <p>c:\ (any drive)</p>
+ <p>MyHDFstuff\ (any folder name)</p>
+ <h4>3. Download the hdf5-1.8.x source code package </h4>
+ <p>Use WinZip to extract the HDF5 package into c:\MyHDFstuff. This creates a
+ directory called 'hdf5-1.8.x' under MyHDFstuff which contains
+ several files and directories. Rename "hdf5-1.8.x" to "hdf5".
+ </p>
+<h4>4. HDF5 provide options to do in-memory compress within HDF5 library.</h4>
+ <p>Currently, two external compression libraries Zlib and
+ Szip can be used with HDF5.
+ </p>
+ <ul class="intable">
+ <li><p> 1. HDF5 uses Zlib version 1.2.2 for compression and Zlib is NOT
+ distributed with HDF5 library in 1.8.x release. To use Zlib
+ library, you have to install your own Zlib DLL library or go
+ to <A href="ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin" target=_blank>
+ ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin
+ </A>
+ to download the Zlib library.</p>
+
+ <p class="note">Notes:</p>
+ <p> Zlib 1.2.2 DLL library can also be downloaded from</p>
+ <p>
+ <a href="http://www.zlib.net/zlib122-dll.zip" target="_blank">
+ http://www.zlib.net/zlib122-dll.zip
+ </a>
+ </p>
+
+ <li><p>2. HDF5 uses Szip version 2.0 for compression and Szip
+ compression software is provided with HDF5 products in
+ 1.8.0 release. To use Szip 2.0 library, you can
+ download Szip source codes and binaries from</p>
+ <p><A href="ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows" target=_blank>
+ ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows
+ </A>
+ </p>
+
+ <p class="note">Notes:</p>
+ <p>Please note that Szip is not a totally open-source free
+ software. For licensing issue of Szip, please check
+ "Licensing terms" at
+ <a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html" target="_blank">
+ http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html.</a>
+ </p>
+ <p>Szip compression feature inside HDF5 is optional.</p>
+
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h4>5. Define the following environment variables: </h4>
+
+ <ul class="normal">
+ <li>HDF5_EXT_ZLIB
+
+ <li>HDF5_EXT_SZIP</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>In this section, Zlib and Szip compression packages are assumed
+ to be used. Please read <A href="#section5" target=_blank>Section V</A> as well as this section if you
+ do not want to use compression feature inside HDF5.
+ </p>
+ <p>To define these environment variables:</p>
+ <p>Click "Start", click "Control Panel", and then double-click
+ "System". On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables".
+
+ If you are logged on as administrator to the local computer AND
+ want to let all other users use these two environment variables,
+ click "New" under "System Variables" box; otherwise, click "New"
+ under "User Variables" box.
+
+ In the New Variable window, set "Variable name" as HDF5_EXT_ZLIB
+ and "Variable value" as zdll.lib, then click OK.
+ </p>
+ <p>Similarly, you can set:</p>
+ <p>HDF5_EXT_SZIP environment variable as szlibdll.lib</p>
+
+ <p class="note">Notes:</p>
+
+ <ul class="intable">
+ <li><p>a. You might have to close and reopen running programs for
+ the new environment variable settings to take effect.
+ </p>
+ <li><p>b. c:\zlib122\zlib1.dll and c:\szip\dll\szlibdll.dll should
+ be copied into the location that the application can find,
+ one suggestion is to use the c:\WINDOWS\system.
+ </p></li>
+ </ul>
+ <h4><a name="precondition6">6. Set up path for external libraries and headers</a></h4>
+
+
+ <p>Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features
+ provided by HDF5. Please do read <A href="#section5" target=_blank>Section V</A>.</p>
+ <p>You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib
+ or Szip. You also need to read <A href="#section5" target=_blank>Section V</A>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ and go to "Tools" and select
+ "Options", find "Directories";
+ </p>
+ <ul class="intable">
+ <li><p>
+ 1. Find the box "Show directories for", choose
+ "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib and Szip
+ header path
+ (for example, c:\zlib122\include, c:\szip\include)
+ from the directory list, add the header path
+ (c:\zlib122\include, c:\szip\include) to the
+ included directories.
+
+ </p>
+ <li><p>
+ 2. Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files",
+ If you cannot find your Zlib and Szip library path
+ (for example, c:\zlib122\lib, c:\szip\dll)
+ from the directory list, add the library path
+ (c:\zlib122\lib, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories.
+
+ </p></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p class="note">Notes:</p>
+ <ul class="intable">
+ <li><p>
+ 1. In release 1.8.0, all.zip is deprecated. Users should go to
+ hdf5/windows directory, run copy_hdf.bat first and then open
+ all.dsw under hdf5/windows/proj/all to start building process.
+
+ </p>
+ <li><p>
+ 2. To build HDF5 C++ and FORTRAN libraries, please read through
+ this document.
+
+ </p>
+ <li><p>
+ 3. For users who want to quickly build HDF5 library or do not
+ want to know HDF5 building and installation details, please
+ read INSATLL_Windows_Short.txt.

+ <h4>Option 1: Automatic Testings</h4>
+ <p>HDF5 comes with various test suites, all of which can be tested
+ with hdf5check.bat batch file in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
+ </p>
+ <p>hdf5check batch file can be run with one of the following four
+ options:

+ </div>
+ <p>Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate option.</p>

+ <p style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%">c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt</p>
+ <p style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%">c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt.</p>
+ <p>In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. If all the
+ tests passed, then you do not have to check check_results.txt.
+ If some tests failed, check check_results.txt can help you
+ figure out what was wrong.
+ </p>
+
+ <h4>Option 2: Step-by-step HDF5 libraries and tools testings</h4>
+ <p>You can also test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one. There are
+ possibly four versions of HDF5 libraries and tools testings.

+ <li><p>release version</p>
+ <li><p>release dll version</p>
+ <li><p>debug version</p>
+ <li><p>debug dll version</p></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>We strongly suggest you to redirect your testing results into an
+ output file so that you can easily check the testing results. You
+ may use either Notepad or WordPad or whatever other windows word
+ processor to check the results. For the purpose of printing,
+ please choose font less than 14 for better alignment of the text.

+ <p>DLLs listed below should be placed into the Windows system
