1. Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 or Intel C compiler and WinZip.

Installed Compaq Visual Fortran compiler(6.0 or higher version), or Intel Fortran compiler if you want to build HDF5 Fortran libraries.

By default, WinZip will convert the Unix end of line format when extracting .tar file. This conversion will cause "false" failure in some HDF5 tools testings. Please uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option in your WinZip to prevent the conversion when extracting .tar file. To uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option: Invoke WinZip, go to "Options", select "Configuration..." Click the "Miscellaneous" tab and uncheck "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option, then click OK.

Use WinZip to extract the HDF5 package into c:\MyHDFstuff. This creates a directory called 'hdf5-1.8.x' under MyHDFstuff which contains several files and directories. Rename "hdf5-1.8.x" to "hdf5".
