-===============================================================================
- HDF5 C++ Library Build and Testing Instructions for Windows NT/98
- with Microsoft Visual C++ V 6.0
-===============================================================================
-
- This is applicable to the development version of HDF5 libraries.
-
-Preconditions
--------------
-
- 1. These instructions are for users who wish to build the C and
- C++ libraries. If you are interested only in the C library,
- refer to INSTAll_Windows.txt or INSTAll_codewarrior.txt.
-
- 2. MicroSoft Developer Studio,Visual C++ 6.0 and WinZip must be
- installed prior to building the HDF5 library.
-
- 3. Set up a directory structure to unpack the library.
- For example:
-
- c:\ (any drive of your choice)
- MyHDFstuff\ (any folder name)
-
- 4. Download the hdf5xxx distribution archive and use WinZip to
- extract the hdf5 package into c:\MyHDFstuff. This creates a
- directory called 'hdf5xxx' under MyHDFstuff which contains
- several files and directories. Rename "hdf5xxx" to "hdf5".
-
- 5. HDF5 uses the zlib library, which is distributed with the HDF5
- Windows source code.
-
-
-Building the HDF5 C and C++ libraries (both static and shared)
--------------------------------------
-
- 1. Unpack all.zip, found in the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory,
- into c:\MyHDFstuff.
-
- 2. Go to the hdf5\proj\ directory and double-click on the file all.dsw.
- This will invoke MS VC++.
-
- 3. Make sure that "all" is "Set as Active Project" by selecting
- "Project"/"Set Active Project", or right-clicking on "all" then
- selecting "Set as Active Project."
-
- 4. Select "Project"/"Dependencies", then enable the desired projects:
-
- hdf5_cpp: to build the C++ API static library
- dsets_cpp: to build the test dsets.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp
- testhdf5_cpp: to build the test testhdf5.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp
-
- hdf5_cppdll: to build the C++ API dynamic-linked library
- dsets_cppdll: to build the DLL dsets test, must also select hdf5_cppdll
- testhdf5_cppdll: to build the DLL testhdf5 test, must also select
- hdf5_cppdll
-
- 5. Select "Build", then select "Set Active Configuration".
-
- "all -- Win32 Debug" to build debug versions of
- single-threaded static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs,
- and tests.
-
- "all -- Win32 Release" to build release versions of
- single-threaded static libraries, multithreaded DLLs,
- and tests.
-
- NOTE: "all" is a dummy target, "all.exe" is never created.
-
- When the debug or release build is completed, the directories
- listed below will contain the following files:
-
- hdf5\proj\hdf5\debug -
- hdf5\proj\hdf5\release -
- hdf5.lib- the C hdf5 static library
-
- hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\debug -
- hdf5ddll.dll- the C hdf5 library
- hdf5ddll.lib- the dll export library
-
- hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\release -
- hdf5dll.dll- the C hdf5 library
- hdf5dll.lib- the dll export library
-
- hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\debug -
- hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\release -
- hdf5_cpp.lib- the hdf5 C++ API static library
-
- hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\debug -
- hdf5_cppddll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library
- hdf5_cppddll.lib- the C++ API dll export library
- hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\release -
- hdf5_cppdll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library
- hdf5_cppdll.lib- the C++ API dll export library
-
-
-Testing libraries and tools
----------------------------
-
- 1. See the file INSTALL_Windows.txt (STEP 2) for instruction on
- testing the C HDF5 library and non-hdf4-related tools.
-
- 2. To test C++ HDF5 Library, you first need to copy the appropriate
- DLL files to the Windows system directory.
-
- The system directory can usually be found under the path
- C:\WINNT\system or C:\WINDOWS\system
-
- You can now run hdf5cpptest.bat in the hdf5\c++\test directory
- at the command prompt as below:
-
- hdf5cpptest release
- hdf5cpptest release dll
- hdf5cpptest debug
- hdf5cpptest debug dll
