+
+Extra Preconditions and Notes:
+
+ Notes: Extra means there are more preconditions for this section
+ except those preconditions under section
+ "Preconditions and Notes" the beginning of this document.
+
+ Please read section "Preconditions and Notes" carefully before going
+ to the next part.
+
+ p1. Pthread-Win32 Installed
+
+ Posix Threads for Windows is a open source free software. Users can
+ download it from http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/.
+
+ HDF5 release 1.8.0 supports Pthread-Win32 2.7.0 (2005-06-04) or
+ later. Since pthreadVC2.dll used by HDF5 1.8.0 is the release version
+ dll of pthread-win32, ONLY HDF5 1.8.0 release dll are supported and
+ tested on Windows XP.
+
+ p2. Set Path for Pthread-Win32 header and library
+
+ Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, go to Tools->Options->Directories.
+
+ From the drop-down box under "Show directories for:",
+
+ Choose "Include files", add in the path to Pthread-Win32 header
+ file(For example: C:\PTHREADS_WIN32\INCLUDE).
+
+ Choose "Library files", add in the path to Pthread-Winew library
+ (For example: C:\PTHREADS_WIN32\LIB).
+
+ p3. Enable HDF5 Thread-safe Feature on Windows
+
+ Go to directory c:\MYHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\src, open H5pubconf.h and
+ find the following messages and remove those comment signs according
+ to the instruction given below:
+
+ /*Users want to build and test hdf5 library with thread safe enabled,
+ Make the following block active
+ */
+
+ /* <----|
+ #if defined _DLL |
+ #define H5_HAVE_THREADSAFE 1 |
+ #define H5_HAVE_SYSTEM_SCOPE_THREADS 1 |---Lines should
+ #if defined TTSAFE_H | be removed
+ #define sleep Sleep | (/* and */)
+ #endif |
+ #endif |
+ */ <----|
+
+ Save H5pubconf.h
+
+ p4. Define Environment Variable(HDF5_EXT_PTHREAD) for PthreadVC2.lib
+
+ To define this environment variable:
+
+ Click "Start", click "Control Panel", and then double-click
+ "System". On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables".
+
+ If you are logged on as administrator to the local computer AND
+ want to let all other users use these two environment variables,
+ click "New" under "System Variables" box; otherwise, click "New"
+ under "User Variables" box.
+
+ In the New Variable window, set "Variable name" as
+ HDF5_EXT_PTHREAD and "Variable value" as pthreadVC2.lib, then
+ click OK.
+
+ p5. Copy pthreadVC2.dll to System Directory
+
+ Copy pthreadVC2.dll should be copied into the location that
+ applications can find. One suggestion is to use the
+ c:\WINDOWS\system.
+
+
+1. Build HDF5 Release DLL with Thread-safe Feature
+
+ 1.1 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.
+
+
+ 1.2 Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
+
+ Invoke Microsoft Visual C++. From the main menu, go to "File"
+ and select the "Open Workspace" option. Then open the
+ c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.dsw workspace.
+
+ 1.3 Add in Thread-safe Source Code for HDF5 Library
+
+ Expand project "hdf5dll", right click on "source" and choose
+ "Add Files to Folder...", browse to add in file "H5TS.c" under
+ directory c:\MYHDFSTUFF\hdf5\src.
+
+ 1.4 Using pthreadVC2.lib inside HDF5 Release DLL
+
+ Right click on project "hdf5dll", choose "Set as Active Project"
+ and set "hdf5dll" as the active project file.
+
+ Go to Project->Setting
+
+ On the left pane, choose "Win32 Release" to the right of
+ "Settings For:"
+
+ On the right pane, choose "Link", choose "Input" from the
+ drop-down box to the right of "Category:"
+
+ Under "Object/library modules:", add in "$(HDF5_EXT_PTHREAD)"
+ (No quotation marks).
+
+ Click on "OK".
+
+ 1.5 Set Project Active Configurations
+
+ Go to Build->Set Active Configuration, choose "hdf5dll-Win32 Release"
+ under "Project configurations:", Click "OK".
+
+ 1.6 Build HDF5 Release DLL with Thread-safe Feature
+
+ Go to Build->Build hdf5dll.dll to build HDF5 Release DLL with
+ thread-safe feature.
+
+ Warning messages can be ignored. But there should be no failures at
+ all.
+
+2. Test Thread-safe Feature of HDF5 Release DLL
+
+ 2.1 Build Release Version of Project libtestD
+
+ Go to Build->Set Active Configuration, choose
+ "libtestD-Win32 Release" under "Project configurations:", Click "OK".
+
+ Go to Build->Build libtestD.dll to build release version of Project
+ libtestD.
+
+ 2.2 Build Release Version of Project ttsafedll
+
+ Go to Build->Set Active Configuration, choose
+ "ttsafedll-Win32 Release" under "Project configurations:", Click "OK".
+
+ Go to Build->Build ttsafedll.exe to build release version of Project
+ ttsafedll.exe.
+
+ 2.3 Install hdf5dll.dll
+
+ Invoke a comand prompt, change directory to c:\MYHDFSTUFF\hdf5, run
+ batch file install_dll.bat to copy
+ c:\MYHDFSTUFF\hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\release\hdf5dll.dll into system
+ directory.
+
+ 2.4 Test Thread-safe Feature of HDF5 Release DLL
+
+ Set project file ttsafedll.dsp as the active project file if it is
+ not. Go to Build->Execute ttsafedll.exe, the following is the
+ test messages users should get:
+
+ For help use: ttsafedll.exe -help
+ Linked with hdf5 version 1.7 release 51
+ Testing -- multi-dataset creation (dcreate)
+ Testing -- per-thread error stacks (error)
+ Testing -- thread cancellation safety test (cancel)
+ Testing -- multi-attribute creation (acreate)
+
+
+ All tests were successful.
+
+
+ Cleaning Up temp files...
+
+ Users who got the same messages as above have successfully built the
+ release version of hdf5dll.dll.
+
+3. Build, Test and Install HDF5 Library and Tools
+
+ Go back to Section II, Step I(2) to Build, test and install HDF5
+ libary and tools.
