* [svn-r14607] Purpose: Apply Cygwin patch to trunkScott Wegner2008-02-191-40/+15
| | | | | | | | Description: This is the same patch that Mike McGreevy helped me with on the 1.8 branch. The latest cygwin DLL has trouble with the global timezone variable. Now in configure, we target CYGWIN with a case statement, and avoid the problem. Tested: Cygwin on WinXP
* [svn-r14605] Purpose: Rename Windows HL Example projects to match other ↵Scott Wegner2008-02-181-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | platforms Description: The collection of HL C examples that we distribute for Windows is incomplete. I wasn't aware of it until Pedro pointed it out, because we use different (although similar) names for the generated files. This checkin changes the naming to follow Linux, in preparation to add the rest of the HL examples to Windows. Note: I believe I've updated the MANIFEST accordingly, but I may have missed something-- I'll check on Linux shortly after this commit. Tested: VS2005 on WinXP VS.NET on WinXP
* [svn-r14582] Purpose:Albert Cheng2008-02-141-628/+687
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fold all the updates made for v1.8.0 release to the main trunk. Versions are from r14548 to r14556. Changes are, Updated section 4 for v1.8 release. (May still check the v1.6 INSTALL to see if something can be adopted from there. But this is good for v1.8 release.) Moved the section 2. "Warnings about compilers" to Appendix A; renumbered section 3-7 to section 2-6 and fixed all section references. Updated Website names from ncsa.uiuc.edu to hdfgroup.org or hdfgroup.uiuc.edu. Updated section 1-3 and some of section 4. Quick editorial review. Convert tabs to spaces for consistent display and printing. Verify and fix links and references. Moved the following three paragraphs to the Appendix part since they have old information that are not relevant most recent machines or compilers. "Large (>2GB) versus small (<2GB) file capability", "Building and testing with Intel compilers" "Building and testing with PGI compilers"

* [svn-r14490] Purpose: Add workaround for latest Cygwin DLLScott Wegner2008-02-041-15/+40
| | | | | | | Description: We've run into a bug that was introduced in the latest version of Cygwin, that breaks C99 code using the 'timezone' global variable. As a workaround, we use the -ansi flag, which makes everything compile/link/test correctly Tested: Cygwin on WinXP

* [svn-r14316] Purpose: Update test directories in MinGW documentationScott Wegner2007-12-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | Description: There are many tests that are unsupported on MinGW because of the way it handles certain syntax in shell scripts (particularly '/'). As a result, we list a few tests that users must comment out in various Makefile.in's. This checkin updates the location of h5stat-- it was formerly in ./tools/misc, but has been moved it ./tools/h5stat. Tested: MinGW on WinXP

| | | | | | | | | | Removed the stream-vfd from the basic library code. (The stream-vfd source files are not removed yet but the MANIFEST has been updated to NOT release those stream-vfd source files.) Platforms tested: Kagiso and smirom. Then test the release tar ball in kagiso.
* [svn-r14255] Purpose: Add h5tinit.c to default Windows build processScott Wegner2007-11-131-53/+12
| | | | | | | | | Description: Previously, we provided a static h5tinit.c with our Windows distribution, and provided instructions to optionally generate it. Now, we will incorporate it as part of the default build process, to emulate other platforms more closely. Tested: VS6 VS2005
* [svn-r14253] Purpose: Update FTP location for Windows external library binariesScott Wegner2007-11-131-12/+6
| | | | | | | | Description: We recently uploaded new versions of our external library binaries to support more compiler configurations. This check-in is to point to the new location in our documentation. Tested: None

| | | | | | | | Tools: ------ - h5dump lists groups and attributes in requested orders (by name and creation order, both ascending and descending). PVN - 2007/10/5 - h5import imports string (text) data. PVN - 2007/10/5
* [svn-r14181] Description:Quincey Koziol2007-10-041-0/+3
| | | | Mention fixing the display order for attributes in h5ls and h5dump
* [svn-r14166] Purpose: Update Windows command-line build scriptsScott Wegner2007-10-011-51/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | Description: This updates the command-line build process to handle structural changes we've made in the HDF5 project files. Also, we add support for two new options: /fort - to build Fortran libraries /useenv - to allow users to specify include and libpath directories on the command line as well. Also updated documentation to reflect these change. Tested: VS2005 on WinXP
* [svn-r14141] Purpose: Update Windows testing documentationScott Wegner2007-09-101-145/+84
| | | | | | | | Description: There are minor changes in the testing process for Windows with the new test scripts. Specifically, the test output is output to the screen, rather than redirected into files, by default. Also, it is much easier to test parts modularly, and installing DLLs is one step, instead of separated batch files. Tested: None, only documentation changed.

| | | | | | | | | | | 64-bit Fortran Description: This checkin is another Windows project cleanup, and also extends our Windows support for 64-bit Fortran. Project files are now in VS2005 format, rather than VS.NET. A couple projects have been renamed to be more descriptive (*cstub rather than *_lib), and project settings make better use of build macros. This will make them much easier to update in the future. Tested: VS2005 on WinXP 32-bit VS2005 on WinXP x64

* [svn-r14066] Purpose: Streamline Windows typegen projectsScott Wegner2007-08-101-8/+3
| | | | | | | Description: Previously the process of generating h5tinit.c, as well as the Fortran type files, was very manual on Windows. For Fortran, the process included opening 4 different solutions, and running 4 different commands from the prompt. I've made things very much more automated, and now only requires only building one project for either C or C/Fortran. Running the commands to generate the file is done automatically. Tested: VS.NET
* [svn-r14056] Purpose: Take advantage of new H5_HAVE_SIGLONGJMP flag in ↵Scott Wegner2007-08-081-13/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | H5detect.c Description: Visual Studio does not have the function siglongjmp. Therefore, we have created a new configure flag H5_HAVE_SIGLONGJMP that tests for this. We use this within H5detect.c. Tested: VS.NET h5committest
* [svn-r14036] Purpose: Fix Windows debug DLL naming schemeScott Wegner2007-08-031-10/+10
| | | | | | | | Description: At a previous seminar, it was brought up that the naming scheme for Windows debug DLL is inconsistent. Specifically, some use *ddll, while others use *dlld. *dlld is more widely-used, so we decided this is "correct". This changes others to use this scheme, and adapts other projects / install scripts / documentation. Tested: Visual Studio .NET on WinXP
