Also, we do not support building 64-bit - libraries or Fortran libraries with Visual Studio .NET 2003. If you - need any of these features, please upgrade to Visual STudio 2005. - - For detailed HDF5 build and install information, or if you have - trouble following any steps in the instructions, please refer to - INSTALL_Windows.txt for further information. - - For users who would like to build and test HDF5 package from the - command line, please refer to - INSATLL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt. Note, however, that building - from the command line requires Visual Studio 2005. - -WARNINGS: - -Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and -notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures. - - -======================================================================== - Preconditions -======================================================================== - - 1. Set up path for external libraries and headers - - Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features - provided by HDF5. Please do read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib - or Szip. You also need to read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt. - - Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ .Net and go to "Tools" and select - "Options". In the left pane of "Option" window poped up, - choose and expand "Projects", Click on "VC++ Directories". - In the right pane, Find the box "Show directories for", choose - "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib and Szip - header path - (for example, c:\zlib123\include, c:\szip\include) - from the directory list, add the header path - (c:\zlib123\include, c:\szip\include) to the - included directories. - - Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", - If you cannot find your Zlib and Szip library path - (for example, c:\zlib123\dll, c:\szip\dll) - from the directory list, add the library path - (c:\zlib123\dll, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories. - -======================================================================== - Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with VS .NET -======================================================================== - - 1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat - - Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat. This process will - copy all the necessary batch files, windows specific source codes and - text files saved under c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the - corresponding directories under hdf5. - - 2. Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio compiler - - Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio. From the main menu, go to "File" and - select the "Open Solution" option. Then open the - c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows_vnet\proj\all\all.dsw workspace. - - You should find Windows project files listed as "all", "big", etc. on the - left. - - 3. (Optional) Disable HDF5 C++ and High level C++ - - In HDF5 1.8, C++ and HL C++ libraries are built by default. To opt-out, - you must explicitly disable them. - - 4.1 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level C++ libraries - - Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and - disable all of the following projects: - - hdf5_hl_cpp - hdf5_hl_cppdll - hl_test_table_cpp - hl_test_table_cppdll - - 4.2 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level libraries - - Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and - disable all of the project files listed in the previous step, as well - as the following projects: - - hdf5_hl - hdf5_hldll - hl_test_image - hl_test_imagedll - hl_test_lite - hl_test_litedll - hl_test_table - hl_test_tabledll - hl_test_ds - hl_test_dsdll - hl_test_packet - hl_test_packetdll - - Click on "OK", From the main menu, choose "Build"-> "Build" or - "Rebuild ALL" to build both release and debug version of HDF5 - Libraries. - - - 4. Select "Build", then Select "Configuration Manager". - - 5.1 To build debug static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs, and tests: - - In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Debug". Select "Close". - Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build debug - version of project "all". - - 5.2 To build release static libraries, multithreaded DLLs and tests: - - In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Release". Select "Close". - Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build release - version of project "all". - - Both debug and release versions must be built. - - Warning messages can be ignored. - -======================================================================== - Testing HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with VS .NET -======================================================================== - -HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that they were -built correctly. c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5check.bat was provided to test -HDF5 libraries and tools. - -hdf5check.bat has the following options: - - hdf5check test HDF5 C library and tools only - - hdf5check enablecpp test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools - - -Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate option. -Users are encouraged to pipe the test output into a file.
