-************************************************************************
-* Build and Test HDF5 Examples with CMake *
-************************************************************************
-
-Notes: This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly
- test the installation of HDF5 by using the CMake tools to build
- and test the HDF5 Examples. The following instructions will show
- the default usage and then present common changes for non-default
- installations.
- For more information, see the USING_HDF5_CMake.txt file.
-
- More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare
- site, www.cmake.org.
-
- CMake uses the command line and these instructions use the script
- method of the ctest command.
-
-
-========================================================================
-I. Preconditions
-========================================================================
-
- 1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware
- web site. The HDF5 1.8.x product requires a minimum CMake version
- of 2.8.10.
-
- 2. You have installed the HDF5 library built with CMake, by executing
- the HDF Install Utility (the *.exe file in the binary package for
- Windows). If you are using a Windows platform, you can obtain a
- pre-built Windows binary from The HDF Group's website at
- www.hdfgroup.org.
-
-
-
-========================================================================
-II. Building HDF5 Examples with CMake
-========================================================================
-
-Files in the HDF5 install directory:
- HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source.zip (or HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source.tar.gz)
- HDF518_Examples.cmake
-
-Default installation process:
- Create a directory to run the examples, i.e. \test_hdf5.
- Copy HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source.zip to this directory, do NOT unzip.
- Copy HDF518_Examples.cmake to this directory.
- Execute from this directory:
- ctest -S HDF518_Examples.cmake,HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source -C Release -O test.log
-
-The script will uncompress the examples file HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source.zip,
- and create a build directory inside the HDF5Examples-0.1.1-Source directory.
- It will then configure, build, and execute the examples. All the log files
- will be found under the build\Testing\Temporary directory, check these for
- errors.
-
-The amount of script information can be increased by adding -V to the ctest
- command. Even more information can be shown by adding -VV instead of -V.
-
-
-========================================================================
-III. Common changes to the HDF518_Examples.cmake file
-========================================================================
-
-Line 8: change the INSTALLDIR to a different HDF5 install location.
-
-Line 14: uncomment to allow Mac machines to build shared examples.
-
-Line 15: uncomment to not build and test Fortran examples.
-
-Line 16: uncomment to build and test Fortran examples with F2003 option.
