[svn-r26087] update build procedure for Hopper (Cray).. only static now.
Will add shared when we introduce support later.

2.5.1 Building HDF5 for Hopper
------------------------------------------
The following steps are for building HDF5 for the Hopper compute
-nodes. They would probably work for other Cray XE6 systems but have
+nodes. They would probably work for other Cray systems but have
not been verified.

+The entire build process should be done on a MOM node in an interactive allocation and on a file system accessible by all compute nodes.
+Request an interactive allocation with qsub:
+qsub -I -q debug -l mppwidth=8
-Run make check. make check should be run on the compute nodes, not the
-front end nodes. So using a PBS batch script, allocate 4 or more
-cores. Always consult with the machine's website on how to create PBS
-scripts and allocate nodes for your job. For Hopper, all the
-information can be found on:
-http://www.nersc.gov/systems/hopper-cray-xe6/
+- create a build directory build-hdf5:
+ mkdir build-hdf5; cd build-hdf5/
-save the PBS script into your HDF5 build directory. The PBS script
-should contain (besides the PBS node allocation requests)the
-following:
+- configure HDF5:
+ RUNSERIAL="aprun -q -n 1" RUNPARALLEL="aprun -q -n 6" FC=ftn CC=cc /path/to/source/configure --enable-fortran --enable-parallel --disable-shared
---------------------------------------------------------------
-cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
+ RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL tells the library how it should launch programs that are part of the build procedure.
-##set RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL like this in the PBS script:
-export RUNPARALLEL="aprun -n 6"
-export RUNSERIAL="aprun -n 1"
+- Compile HDF5:
+ gmake
-##execute make check:
-make check
---------------------------------------------------------------
+- Check HDF5
+ gmake check
+
+- Install HDF5
+ gmake install
+
+The build will be in build-hdf5/hdf5/ (or whatever you specify in --prefix).
+To compile other HDF5 applications use the wrappers created by the build (build-hdf5/hdf5/bin/h5pcc or h5fc)
-Once the job runs and all is well, install the binary:
-$ make install
