The steps are similiar for - all the operating systems supported by CMake. - - NOTES: - 1. Using CMake for building and using HDF5 is under active development. - While we have attempted to provide error-free files, please - understand that development with CMake has not been extensively - tested outside of HDF. The CMake specific files may change - before the next release. - - 2. CMake was originally introduced to support development on Windows, - however it should be usable on any system where CMake is supported. - Please send us any comments on how CMake support can be improved on - any system. Visit the KitWare site for more information about CMake. - - 3. Build and test results can be submitted to our CDash server at: - cdash.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu. - Please read the HDF and CDash document at: - www.hdfgroup.org/CDash/HowToSubmit. - - -======================================================================== - Preconditions -======================================================================== - - 1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware - web site. The HDF5 1.8.x product requires CMake version 2.8.6. - - 2. You have installed the HDF5 library built with CMake. If you are - using a Windows platform, you can obtain a pre-built Windows binary - from The HDF Group's website at www.hdfgroup.org. - - 3. On Windows with Visual Studio, if you have installed the static HDF5 - library, you will need to add the HDF5\lib folder to the library - search list. See the "Using Static Libraries with Visual Studio" section. - - 4. Set the environment variable HDF5_ROOT to the installed location of HDF5. - On Windows HDF5_ROOT=C:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\hdf5-1.8.7 - -======================================================================== - Building HDF5 Examples with CMake -======================================================================== - - 1. Run CMake - - The CMake executable is named "cmake-gui.exe" on Windows and should be - available in your Start menu. For Linux, UNIX, and Mac users the - executable is named "cmake-gui" and can be found where CMake was - installed. - Specify the source and build directories. It is recommemded that you - choose a build directory different then the source directory - (for example on Windows, if the source is at c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5, then - use c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build or c:\MyHDFstuff\build\hdf5). - - OPTIONAL: - Users can perform the configuration step without using the visual cmake-gui - program. Example configuration step executed within the build directory: - - cmake -G "<generator>" [-D<options>] <sourcepath> - - Where <generator> is - * Borland Makefiles - * MSYS Makefiles - * MinGW Makefiles - * NMake Makefiles - * Unix Makefiles - * Visual Studio 10 - * Visual Studio 10 Win64 - * Visual Studio 6 - * Visual Studio 7 - * Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003 - * Visual Studio 8 2005 - * Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64 - * Visual Studio 9 2008 - * Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64 - - <options> is: - * BUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON - * USE_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=[ON | OFF] - - 2. Configure the cache settings - - 2.1 Click the Configure button. If this is the first time you are - running cmake-gui in this directory, you will be prompted for the - generator you wish to use (for example on Windows, Visual Studio 9 2008). - CMake will read in the CMakeLists.txt files from the source directory and - display options for the HDF5 project. After the first configure you - can adjust the cache settings and/or specify locations of other programs. - - Any conflicts or new values will be highlighted by the configure - process in red. Once you are happy with all the settings and there are no - more values in red, click the Generate button to produce the appropriate - build files. - - On Windows, if you are using a Visual Studio generator, the solution and - project files will be created in the build folder. - - On linux, if you are using the Unix Makefiles generator, the Makefiles will - be created in the build folder. - - 2.2 Alternative command line example on Windows in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build directory: - - cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DUSE_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON .. - - 3. Build HDF5 examples - - On Windows, you can build HDF5 using either the Visual Studio Environment - or the command line. The command line is used on linux, Unix, and Mac. - - To build from the command line, navigate to your build directory and - execute the following; - - cmake --build . --config {Debug | Release} - - NOTE: "--config {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We - recommend choosing either Debug or Release on Windows. If you are - using the pre-built binaries from HDF, use Release. - - 3.1 If you wish to use the Visual Studio environment, open the solution - file in your build directory. Be sure to select either Debug or - Release and build the solution. - - 4. Test HDF5 Examples. - - To test the build, navigate to your build directory and execute; - - ctest . -C {Debug | Release} - - NOTE: "-C {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We - recommend choosing either Debug or Release to match the build - step on Windows. - - 6. The files that support building with CMake are all the files in the - config/cmake folder, the CMakeLists.txt files in each source folder, and - CTestConfig.cmake. CTestConfig.cmake is specific to the internal testing - performed by The HDF Group. It should be altered for the users - installation and needs. - - 7. More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare site, - www.cmake.org. - - -======================================================================== - Using HDF5 Libraries with Visual Studio 2008 -======================================================================== - - 8. Set up path for external libraries and headers - - Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio and go to "Tools" and select "Options", - find "Projects", and then "VC++ Directories". - - 8.1 If you are building on 64-bit Windows, find the "Platform" dropdown - and select "x64". - - 8.2 Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Include files", add the - header path (i.e. c:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\hdf5-1.8.7\include) - to the included directories. - - 8.3 Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", add the - library path (i.e. c:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\hdf5-1.8.7\lib) - to the library directories. - - 8.4 If using Fortran libraries, you will also need to setup the path - for the Intel Fortran compiler. - - -************************************************************************ - -Need further assistance, send email to help@hdfgroup.org - |
