HDF5 Install Instructions for Windows NT/95/98.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The instructions which follow assume that you will be using the the source
code release 'zip' file (hdf5-1_2_0.zip).
The following sections discuss in detail installation procedures.
Building from Source Code Release (hdf5-1_2_0.zip)
===============================================
STEP I: Preconditions
To build the HDF5 and tests, it is assumed that you have done the following:
1. Installed MicroSoft Developer Studio, and Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0.
2. Set up a directory structure to unpack the library. For
example:
c:\ (any drive)
MyHDFstuff\ (any folder name)
3. Copied the source distribution archive to that directory
and unpacked it using the appropriate archiver options to
create a directory hierarchy.
Run WinZip on hdf5-1_2_0.zip (the entire source tree).
This creates a directory called 'hdf5' which
contains several files and directories.
STEP II: Building the Libraries and tests.
1. Unpack all.zip in 'hdf5'.
2. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++, go to "File" and select
the "Open Workspace" option.
Then open the c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\all\all.dsw workspace.
3. Select "Build", then Select "Set Active Configuration".
On Windows platform select as the active configuration
"all -- Win32 Debug" to build debug versions of single-threaded
static libraries, and tests.
or
"all -- Win32 Release" to build release versions of single-threaded
static libraries, and tests.
Select "Build" and "Build all.exe" to
build the corresponding version of the HDF5 library.
NOTE: "all" is a dummy target. You will get a link error when
"all.exe." is built :
LINK: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_mainCRTStartup.....
all.exe - 2 error(s), ....
Warning messages can be ignored. The "all.exe" is never created,
so it is OK.
When the debug or release build is done the directories listed
below will contain the following files :
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\hdf5\debug -
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\hdf5\release -
hdf5.lib- the hdf5 library
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\test\"test directory"-
where test directory is one of the following:
big
bittests
chunk
cmpd_dset
dsets
dtypes
extend
external
fillval
flush1
flush2
gheap
hyperslab
iopipe
istore
links
mount (not supported in this release)
mtime
overhead
ragged
shtype
testhdf5
unlink
Each test directory contains debug and release subdirectories with the
corresponding tests.
STEP III: TESTING THE BUILD
In a command prompt window run the test batch file which
resides in the hdf5 directory to make sure that the library
was built correctly.
The hdf5testDBG.bat file tests the debug version of the library and
hdf5testREL.bat tests the release version of the library.
STEP IV: BUILDING THE EXAMPLES
1. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++, go to "File" and select
the "Open Workspace" option.
Then open the c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\examples\allexamples.dsw
workspace.
2. Select "Build", then Select "Set Active Configuration".
On Windows platform select as the active configuration
"allexamples -- Win32 Debug" to build debug versions of the examples.
or
"allexamples -- Win32 Release" to build release versions the examples.
Select "Build" and "Build allexamples.exe" to
build the corresponding version of the examples.
When the debug build or release build is done there should be the
following subdirectories in C:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\examples\
attributetest
chunkread
compoundtest
extendwritetest
grouptest
readtest
selecttest
writetest
3. Run the batch file "InstallExamples.bat" which resides in the top level directory. This file creates 2 new directories, examplesREL and examplesDEB, in the examples directory and places all the executables in it. Both the release and debug versions of the examples should be built before this step is done. The examples should be tested in these 2 new directories
due to some dependencies between the examples.
STEP V:
BUILDING AN APPLICATION USING THE HDF5 LIBRARY - SOME HELPFUL POINTERS
=====================================================================
If you are building an application that uses the HDF5 library
the following locations will need to be specified for locating
header files and linking in the HDF libraries:
<top-level HDF5 directory>\src
where <top-level HDF5 directory> may be
C:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\
MORE HELPFUL POINTERS
=====================
Here are some notes that may be of help if you are not familiar
with using the Visual C++ Development Environment.
Project name and location issues:
The files in all.zip must end up in the hdf5\ directory
installed by hdf5-1_2_0.zip
If you must install all.dsw and all.dsp in another directory, relative
to hdf5\ , you will be asked to locate the sub-project files,
when you open the project all.dsw.
If you want to rename all (the entire project), you will need to modify
two files all.dsw and all.dsp as text (contrary to the explicit warnings
in the files).
You can also modify all.dsw and all.dsp as text, to allow these 2 files
to be installed in another directory.
Settings... details:
If you create your own project, the necessary settings can be
read from the all.dsp file(as text), or from the Project Settings in
the Developer Studio project settings dialog.
