HDF5 1.8 can also be built using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows - Vista. For details, please see Section X of INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - 2. 64-bit builds are also supported in Visual Studio 2008. For details - please see Section IX of INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - 3. Fortran libraries can be built with Visual Studio 2008 and Intel - Fortran 10.1. For details, see Section VI of INSTALL_Windows.txt. - -WARNINGS: - -Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and -notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures. - - -======================================================================== - Preconditions -======================================================================== - - 1. Set up path for external libraries and headers - - Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features provided - by HDF5. Please do read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib or Szip. You - also need to read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio and go to "Tools" and select "Options". In - the left pane of "Option" window poped up, choose and expand "Projects", - Click on "VC++ Directories". In the right pane, Find the box "Show - directories for", choose "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib - and Szip header path (for example, c:\zlib125\include, c:\szip\include) - from the directory list, add the header path (c:\zlib125\include, - c:\szip\include) to the included directories. - - Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", If you cannot - find your Zlib and Szip library path (for example, c:\zlib125\dll, - c:\szip\dll) from the directory list, add the library path - (c:\zlib125\dll, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories. - - NOTE: - If you are using VS2010, the path settings will need to be in project - property sheets per project. Go to "Project" and select "Properties", find - "Configuration Properties", and then "VC++ Directories". - - Add the header path to the "Include Directories" setting. - - Add the library path to the "Library Directories" setting. - -======================================================================== - Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with Visual Studio 2008 -======================================================================== - - 1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat - - Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat.

Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio compiler - - Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio. From the main menu, go to "File" and - select the "Open Solution" option.

(Optional) Disable HDF5 C++ and High level C++ - - In HDF5 1.8, C++ and HL C++ libraries are built by default. To opt-out, - you must explicitly disable them. - - 3.1 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level C++ libraries - - Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies".
