Examples in the c and hl/c subdirectories are always +installed, and those in fortan, hl/fortran, c++ and hl/c++ will be installed +when fortran or c++ are enabled. + +Running the run-all-ex.sh script in this directory will run the scripts and in +turn the examples in all the subdirectories where examples are installed. The +scripts can also be run individually. The appropriate compile scripts in the +bin directory for this install will be used by default to compile and link the +example programs. Note that h5redeploy must be run if these binaries are +copied or extracted in a directory other than the one where they were initially +installed. Compile scripts from other locations can be used by setting an +environment variable prefix to the path of the directory containing the bin +directory with the compile scripts h5cc, h5fc, etc. For example, export +prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 to use h5cc, h5fc, etc. in /usr/local/hdf5/bin. |
