Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 from Command Line on Windows XP

Notes:

1. This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5 + libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command + line. +

2. Currently, we support:

(1) Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft Visual + C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.
+
(2) Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with + Microsoft Visual C++ .Net (2003)
+
(3) Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with + Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 integration with Microsoft Visual C++ .Net + 2003.
+
For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in the development environment. + Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or + INSTALL_Windows_short.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation instructions. +
+
(4) Different compiler is using different batch files on command line + to build HDF5 Libraries.
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Compiler Name Batch File 1 Batch File 2
MSVS 6.0 hdf5bt.bat hdf5build.bat
MSVS .Net hdf5bt_net.bat hdf5build_net.bat
Intel C++ hdf5bt_intelc.bat hdf5build_intelc.bat
+
+ +
Be careful to choose the corresponding batch file when you choose a procedure below to build HDF5 Libraries.
+

Compiler Name	Batch File 1	Batch File 2
MSVS 6.0	hdf5bt.bat	hdf5build.bat
MSVS .Net	hdf5bt_net.bat	hdf5build_net.bat
Intel C++	hdf5bt_intelc.bat	hdf5build_intelc.bat

3. Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.

Preconditions

1. Add WinZip command line support (Optional)

To use WinZip command line utility, you have to install WinZip 9.0 or higher version.

If you want to extract zip files on the command line, you should

1.1 Install WinZip command line support add-on 1.1
+
Download WinZip command line support add-on 1.1 from http://www.winzip.com and install it.
1.2 Add WinZip into environment path

Open "System" in Control Panel. + On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click + "Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and + add your WinZip path (For example C:\Program Files\WinZip) + into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
+
Notes:
+
You can also extract zip files from interactive WinZip + interface without the above two steps.
+

+ +

Section I: Building and testing HDF5 with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.

+ +

1. Extra Preconditions:

+ +

1.1 Set path for Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0
+
Open "System" in Control Panel.
+
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click + "Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and + add your Visual C++ 6.0 path (For example, + C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\) + and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0 path (For example, + C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\) + into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
+
1.2 Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
+
Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat.
+

+ +

2. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools

We provide 2 options for users to build test HDF5 libraries and tools.

+ +

2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step

A batch file named hdf5bt.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory + is provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools + together from command line. +

hdf5bt.bat has four options:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Options	Illustration
hdf5bt	build and test C library and tools
hdf5bt enablecpp	build and test C/C++ libraries and tools
hdf5bt enablefortran	build and test C/Fortran libraries and tools
hdf5bt enableall	build and test C/C++/Fortran libraries and tools

+ +

Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt with appropriate options.

Test results are saved in two files:

c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5_results.txt + +
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt.

In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. + If all the tests passed, then you do not have to check + hdf5_results.txt. If some tests failed, check + hdf5_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.

2.2 Options B: Build and test in two steps

+ +

We also provide users with the option to build and test HDF5 libraries and tools seperately.

Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools

A batch file named hdf5build.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 + directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and + tools from command line.

hdf5build.bat has four options:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Options	Illustration
hdf5build	build C library and tools
hdf5build enablecpp	build C/C++ libraries and tools
hdf5build enablefortran	build C/Fortran libraries and tools
hdf5build enableall	build C/C++/Fortran libraries and tools

Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build with + appropriate options. Compiling outputs are saved in + c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build_results.txt. You can check + the file to find out whether there are any compilation + errors.

Step 2) Test HDF5 Libraries and Tools

A batch file named hdf5check.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 + directory is provided for users to test HDF5 library + and tools from command line.

hdf5check.bat has four options:

+ +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Options	Illustration
hdf5check	test C library and tools
hdf5check enablecpp	test C/C++ libraries and tools
hdf5check enablefortran	test C/Fortran libraries and tools
hdf5check enableall	test C/C++/Fortran libraries and tools

Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with + appropriate options.

+ +

Test results are saved into file:

c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt.

In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. If + all the tests passed, then you do not have to check + check_results.txt. If some tests failed, check + check_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.

3. Installing HDF5 Libraries

+ +

Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install all + HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.

+ +

1.3 Set path for Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
+
Open "System" in Control Panel.
+
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click + "Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and + add your Visual C++ .Net path (For example, + C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE) + into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
1.4 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 and text files saved under + c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the directories where they + will be used.
1.5 Convert project files format from MSVS 6.0 to MSVS .Net
+
Go to directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 and run convert_to_vcproj.bat in the following format:
+
- convert_to_vcproj "Absolute path of directory hdf5"
+
For example:
+
- convert_to_vcproj c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
+
The converting results will be saved into file convert.log under the directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5. + The messages should look like
+
- Converting: c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.dsp
- New Project Name: c:\MyHDFstuff\\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.vcproj
+
