- 1. Obtaining HDF5
- 2. Building and testing HDF5 C, Fortran and C++ libraries,
- and utilities
- 3. Installing HDF5 libraries
- 4. Known problems
-
-
- 1.Obtaining HDF5
-
- Please see INSTALL file in this directory for downloading instructions.
-
- 2. Building and testing HDF5 C, Fortran and C++ libraries and utilities.
-
- 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 <source>.tar
-
- - Change default directory to [.<source>.vms]
- - Specify top HDF5 source directory in the build.com file
- - 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 using 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
- It also runs test scripts to test C, Fortran and C++ libraries, and
- h5dump, h5diff, h5ls, h5repack and h5import utilities.
-
- 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
- - There is no support for szip compression filter.
- - Fortran multifile driver test fails; similar C test passes.
