STEP 1: Building hdf5 libraries and non-hdf4 related tools
- 1. Unpack all.zip in 'hdf5' and move the zlib.dll from
- c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\src\zlib\dll to the Windows system
- directory.
-
- The system directory can usually be found under the path
- C:\WINNT\system or C:\WINDOWS\system
- 2. Make sure you have your own zlib library(both dll and static)
+ 1. Make sure you have your own zlib library(both dll and static)
stored at your machine. In this document we will use
c:\zlib114 to represent the top directory of your zlib library.
- 3. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++, go to "File" and select
+ Make sure that zlib.dll has been moved to the system directory
+ C:\WINNT\system

+ 2. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++, go to "File" and select
the "Open Workspace" option.
Then open the c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\all\all.dsw
workspace.
+ 3. Select project hdf5dll, right click mouse; choose settings,
+ find "Link", go to the Category box and choose "Input",
+ go to the box "Object/library modules" and go to the end of the line;
+ see whether the zlib dll library path is the same as C:\zlib114\dll
+ or the correct path where you install your dll export library.
+ If not, replace the old zlib dll library path with the correct path.
+
+ You should do this for both Debug and release version.
4. Go to "Tools" and select "Options", find "Directories";
4.1 Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Include files",
If you cannot find C:\zlib114\include at the directory listed,
add C:\zlib114\include to the included directories.
