These instructions are for users who wish to build the C and - C++ libraries. If you are interested only in the C library, - refer to INSTAll_Windows.txt or INSTAll_codewarrior.txt. - - 2. MicroSoft Developer Studio,Visual C++ 6.0 and WinZip must be - installed prior to building the HDF5 library. - - 3. Set up a directory structure to unpack the library. - For example: - - c:\ (any drive of your choice) - MyHDFstuff\ (any folder name) - - 4. Download the hdf5xxx distribution archive and use WinZip to - extract the hdf5 package into c:\MyHDFstuff. This creates a - directory called 'hdf5xxx' under MyHDFstuff which contains - several files and directories. Rename "hdf5xxx" to "hdf5". - - 5. HDF5 uses the zlib library, which is distributed with the HDF5 - Windows source code. - - -Building the HDF5 C and C++ libraries (both static and shared) -------------------------------------- - - 1. Unpack all.zip, found in the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory, - into c:\MyHDFstuff. - - 2. Go to the hdf5\proj\ directory and double-click on the file all.dsw. - This will invoke MS VC++. - - 3. Make sure that "all" is "Set as Active Project" by selecting - "Project"/"Set Active Project", or right-clicking on "all" then - selecting "Set as Active Project." - - 4. Select "Project"/"Dependencies", then enable the desired projects: - - hdf5_cpp: to build the C++ API static library - dsets_cpp: to build the test dsets.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp - testhdf5_cpp: to build the test testhdf5.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp - - hdf5_cppdll: to build the C++ API dynamic-linked library - dsets_cppdll: to build the DLL dsets test, must also select hdf5_cppdll - testhdf5_cppdll: to build the DLL testhdf5 test, must also select - hdf5_cppdll - - 5. Select "Build", then select "Set Active Configuration". - - "all -- Win32 Debug" to build debug versions of - single-threaded static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs, - and tests. - - "all -- Win32 Release" to build release versions of - single-threaded static libraries, multithreaded DLLs, - and tests. - - NOTE: "all" is a dummy target, "all.exe" is never created. - - When the debug or release build is completed, the directories - listed below will contain the following files: - - hdf5\proj\hdf5\debug - - hdf5\proj\hdf5\release - - hdf5.lib- the C hdf5 static library - - hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\debug - - hdf5ddll.dll- the C hdf5 library - hdf5ddll.lib- the dll export library - - hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\release - - hdf5dll.dll- the C hdf5 library - hdf5dll.lib- the dll export library - - hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\debug - - hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\release - - hdf5_cpp.lib- the hdf5 C++ API static library - - hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\debug - - hdf5_cppddll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library - hdf5_cppddll.lib- the C++ API dll export library - hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\release - - hdf5_cppdll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library - hdf5_cppdll.lib- the C++ API dll export library - - -Testing libraries and tools ---------------------------- - - 1. See the file INSTALL_Windows.txt (STEP 2) for instruction on - testing the C HDF5 library and non-hdf4-related tools. - - 2. To test C++ HDF5 Library, you first need to copy the appropriate - DLL files to the Windows system directory. - - The system directory can usually be found under the path - C:\WINNT\system or C:\WINDOWS\system - - You can now run hdf5cpptest.bat in the hdf5\c++\test directory - at the command prompt as below: - - hdf5cpptest release - hdf5cpptest release dll - hdf5cpptest debug - hdf5cpptest debug dll - -Please send mail to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu for further assistance. |
