-************************************************************************
-* Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 on Windows XP *
-* (From Command Line) *
-************************************************************************
-Note: This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
- libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
- line. We no longer support building HDF5 using Microsoft Visual
- Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio VS2005 or Intel Fortran 91.
-
- Currently, we support:
-
- 1. Building and testing HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries on command line with
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for 32- or 64-bit Windows.
-
- 2. Building and testing HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries and utilities using
- CMake tools. Refer to the CMAKE.txt file for detailed information.
-
- For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in
- the development environment. Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt
- for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or
- INSTALL_Windows_Short.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation
- instructions.
-
-WARNINGS:
-
-Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
-notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
-
-
-========================================================================
- Section I: Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft
- Visual Studio
-========================================================================
-
-1. Preconditions:
-
- 1.1 Verify environment for Visual Studio
-
- Building from the command line requires environment variables for Visual
- Studio. These are generally setup when Visual Studio is installed, but you
- can verify by running the command:
-
- echo %vs90comntools%
-
- This should output a path similar to:
-
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\Tools\
-
- 1.2 Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
-
- Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat.
-
- 1.3 Setup evironment for external libraries
-
- Similarly to building from within Visual Studio, HDF5 requires environment
- variables for szip and zlib library names. To define these environment
- variables:
-
- From the command prompt that you will be building HDF5 from, issue the
- following command:
-
- set HDF5_EXT_ZLIB=zlib1.lib
-
- replacing "zlib1.lib" with the name of the zlib library on your system.
- Similarly, set HDF5_EXT_SZIP to the name of the szip library on your system.
-
- (Optional) If you will be building using the /useenv switch, you must also
- define variables INCLUDE and LIB with a semi-colon deliminated list of
- paths for szip and zlib include files and libraries, respectively. Set
- these variables in the same way you set HDF5_EXT_ZLIB and HDF5_EXT_SZIP.
-
-
-2. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools
-
- We provide 2 options for users to build and test HDF5 libraries
- and tools.
-
- 2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step
-
- A batch file named hdf5bt.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory is
- provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools together
- from command line.
-
- hdf5bt file takes the following options:
- /vs9 Build HDF5 using Visual Studio 2008
- /fort Build and test HDF5 with Fortran libraries
- /ivf101 Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 10.1
- /ivf111 Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 11.1
- /useenv Build HDF5 using compiler settings defined
- in the environment, rather than the IDE.
- /? Help information
-
- If you specify the "/useenv" option, then include and library
- directories for szip and zlib must have been set in the
- Preconditions above.
-
- Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt. Users are
- encouraged to pipe the test output into a file. You should find no
- compilation errors or "*FAILED*" marks.
-
- 2.2 Options B: Build and test in two steps
-
- We also provide users with the option to build and test HDF5 libraries
- and tools seperately.
-
- Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
-
- A batch file named hdf5build.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
- directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and
- tools from command line.
-
- hdf5build takes the following options:
- /vs9 Build HDF5 using Visual Studio 2008
- /fort Build HDF5 with Fortran libraries
- /ivf101 Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 10.1
- /ivf111 Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 11.1
- /nodebug Build HDF5 release versions only
- Note: Default is to build debug and release versions
- /useenv Build HDF5 using compiler settings defined
- in the environment, rather than the IDE.
- /? Help information
-
- If you specify the "/useenv" option, then include and library
- directories for szip and zlib must have been set in the
- Preconditions above.
-
- Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build. Users are
- encouraged to pipe the test output into a file. You can check
- the file to find out whether there are any compilation errors.
-
- Step 2) Test HDF5 Libraries and Tools
-
- HDF5 comes with various test suites, all of which can be tested with
- hdf5check.bat batch file in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
-
- hdf5check batch file can be run with one of the following four options:
-
- hdf5check Test HDF5 C library and tools only.
-
- hdf5check enablecpp Test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools.
-
- hdf5check enablefortran Test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and
- tools. To use this option, HDF5
- Fortran libraries must have been built.
-
- hdf5check enableall Test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and
- tools. To use this option, HDF5
- Fortran libraries must have been built.
-
- nodebug option can be added to any of the above options to only
- test the release versions.
-
- Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate
- option. Users are encouraged to pipe the test output into a file.
- You should find no "*FAILED*" marks.
-
-3. Installing HDF5 Libraries
-
-Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install all
-HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
