CMake is being introduced in this release as early-access. While we - have attempted to provide error-free files, please understand that - this development with CMake has just began. - - 2. Testing of some tools have issues. - The following are failing sometimes on windows - hl_test_ds - - -======================================================================== - Preconditions -======================================================================== - - 1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware - web site. The HDF5 1.8.x product requires CMake version 2.8. - - If you plan to use Zlib or Szip, download the packages and install them - in a central location. For example, create a folder extlibs and install - the packages there. You should also read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt. - -======================================================================== - Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with CMake -======================================================================== - - 1. Run CMake - - The CMake executable is name "cmake-gui.exe" and should be available in - your Start menu. Specify the source and build directories. It is - recommemded that you choose a build directory different then the source - directory (for example, if the source is at c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5, then - use c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build or c:\MyHDFstuff\build\hdf5). - - 2. Configure the cache settings - - Click the Configure button. If this is the first time you are - running cmake-gui in this directory, you will be prompted for the - generator you wish to use (for example, Visual Studio 9 2008). CMake - will read in the CMakeLists.txt files from the source directory and - display options for the HDF5 project. After the first configure you - can adjust the cache settings and/or specify locations of other programs. - Any conflicts or new values will be highlighted by the configure - process in red. Once you are happy with all the settings, click the - Generate button to produce the appropriate build files (if you are using - a Visual Studio generator, solution and project files will be created). - - - 3. Build HDF5 - - You can build HDF5 using either the Visual Studio Environment or the command line. - - 3.1 If you wish to use the Visual Studio environment, open the solution file - in your build directory. - - 3.2 To build from the command line, navigate to your build directory and - execute the following; - - cmake --build . --config {Debug | Release} - - - 4. Test HDF5. - - To test the build, navigate to your build directory and execute; - - ctest . -C {Debug | Release} - - 5. The files that support building HDF5 with CMake are all the files in the Resources - folder, the CMakeLists.txt files in each source folder, and two additional files, - ConfigureChecks.cmake and CTestConfig.cmake. The CTestConfig.cmake is specific to - the internal testing performed by The HDF Group. It should be altered for the users - installation and needs. - - 6. More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare site, www.cmake.org. - - -************************************************************************ - -Need further assistance, send email to help@hdfgroup.org - |
