+ IMPORTANT: This version REQUIRES GNU ZLIB library to be installed
on a system. You may download the source code from
http://www.zlib.net/
- Use tar command to untar HDF5 source ball
- tar -xvf hdf5-1.8.0-<pre>.tar
-
- - Change default directory to [.hdf5-1.8.0-<pre>.vms]
- - Modify make.com file to point to the installed ZLIB library.
- - Run
- @make
- command. This command file will build
+ tar -xvf hdf5-1.8.0.tar
+
+ - Change default directory to [.hdf5-1.8.0.vms]
+ - Edit make.com:
+ specify path to ZLIB library
+ if necessary, modify compilation flags
+ Do NOT REMOVE /define=H5_VMS and /standard=strict_ansi qualifiers.
+ - Run build.com command file
+ @build
+ We recommend to use batch queue to build and test this distribution.
+ The command file runs make.com and builds
C library, tests, and utilities
Fortran library and tests
C++ library and tests
- C, Fortran and C++ examples
-
- IMPORTANT: Compilations flags are defined in the [.vms]make.com file of the
- source tree. It is set up to use /float=float_ieee qualifier for C, Fortran
- and C++ compilersi, and debug mode. If desired, those flags can be removed.
- Do NOT REMOVE /define=H5_VMS and /standard=strict_ansi qualifiers.
- If you have to use make.com file in a particular directory, make sure that
- you modify the compilation flags in this file appropriately.
-
- If make.com succeeds, the following libraries and utilties will be built:
-
- [.src]hdf5.olb
- [.fortran.src]hdf5_fortran.olb
- [.c__.src]hdf5_cplus.olb
- [.tools.h5diff]h5diff.exe
- [.tools.h5dump]h5dump.exe
- [.tools.h5import]h5import.exe
- [.tools.h5jam]h5jam.exe
- [.tools.h5jam]h5unjam.exe
- [.tools.h5ls]h5ls.exe
- [.tools.h5repack]h5repack.exe
-
- 3. Testing HDF5 libraries and tools
- You may try to run check.com files in the following directories
-
- [.test]
- [.fortran.test]
- [.c__.test]
- [.examples]
- [.fortran.examples]
- [.c__.examples]
-
- 4. Installing HDF5 libraries
- Currently one has to manually copy *.olb, public *.h (all header
- files that do not have "private" in file name) iheader files and
- Fortran modules files from
- [.src], [.fortran.src] and [.c__.src] directories
-
- 5. Known problems
+ It also runs test scripts to test C, Fortran and C++ libraries, and
+ h5dump, h5diff, h5ls, h5repack and h5import utilties.
+
+ 3. Installing HDF5 libraries
+
+ Modify install.com file to specify installation directory and run
+ @install
+ to install HDF5 C, Fortran, and C++ libraries, and utilities.
+ The script will create the directories shown below in the
+ installation directory:
+
+ [.HDF5]...
+ [.HDF5.INCLUDE]
+ [.HDF5.LIB]
+ [.HDF5.BIN]
+ [.HDF5.EXAMPLES]
+ [.HDF5.EXAMPLES.C]
+ [.HDF5.EXAMPLES.F90]
+ [.HDF5.EXAMPLES.CXX]
+
+ [.HDF5.EXAMPLES.*] directories contain make.com and check.com files
+ to build examples against the installed libraries and to verify
+ the installation.
+
+ 3. Known problems
- dsets test fails for test_scleoffset_double and
test_scleoffset_double_2 tests when G_FLOAT double is used
- 06/01/2006 EIP
- There is no support for szip compression filter.
- - There are few C and Fortran tests that fail (C mtime, Fortran file_close and
- multifile driver tests, probably more; all major tests succeed).
- - Mulitifile driver has not been tested yet.
- - Test scripts for some tools are missing; existing tools test scripts
- do not compare output with the expected output.
- - Probably more :-)
+ - Fortran multifile driver test fails; similar C test passes.
