<hr class="second">
<h2><a name="preconditions">Preconditions</a> </h2>

<hr class="second">
<p>Please read CAREFULLY about the following preconditions and
notes first.</p>

<h4><u>1. Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 or Intel C
compiler and WinZip.</u></h4>

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

  <p class="note">Notes:</p>

  <p class="note">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. </p>

</blockquote>

<h4><u>2. Set up a directory structure to unpack the
library.</u></h4>

<p>For example:</p>

<table style="border-width: 0pt; border-collapse: collapse;" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p class="filename" style="text-align: left;">c:\
(any drive)</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p class="filename" style="text-align: left;">MyHDFstuff\
(any folder name)</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>
</table>

<h4>&nbsp;</h4>

<h4><u>3. Download the hdf5-1.8.x source code package </u>
</h4>

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

<h4><u>4. HDF5 provide options to do in-memory compress
within HDF5 library.</u></h4>

<p>Currently, two external compression libraries Zlib and Szip
can be used with HDF5. </p>

<ul class="intable">

  <li>
    <p>1. HDF5 uses Zlib version 1.2.2 for compression and Zlib
is NOT distributed with HDF5 library in 1.8.x release. To use Zlib
library, you have to install your own Zlib DLL library or go to <a href="ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows/
    </a>to download the Zlib library.</p>

    <p class="note">Notes:</p>

    <p class="note">1. Zlib 1.2.2 DLL library can also be
downloaded from <a href="ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin
    </a></p>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p class="note">2. HDF5 uses Szip version 2.0 for
compression and Szip compression software is provided with HDF5
products in 1.8.0 release. To use Szip 2.0 library, you can download
Szip source codes and binaries from <a href="ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows/" target="_blank">
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows/ </a></p>

    <p class="note">3. Please note that Szip is not a
totally open-source free software. For licensing issue of Szip, please
check "Licensing terms" at <a href="http://hdfgroup.org/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html" target="_blank">
http://hdfgroup.org/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html.</a> </p>

    <p class="note">Szip compression feature inside HDF5
is optional.</p>

  </li>

</ul>

<h4><u>5. Define the following environment variables: </u>
</h4>

<ul class="normal">

  <li>HDF5_EXT_ZLIB </li>

  <li>HDF5_EXT_SZIP</li>

</ul>

<p>In this section, Zlib and Szip compression packages are
assumed to be used. Please read <a href="#section5">Section
V</a> as well as this section if you do not want to use
compression feature inside HDF5. </p>

<p>To define these environment variables:</p>

<p>Click <span class="filename">"Start"</span>
-&gt; <span class="filename">"Control Panel"</span>
-&gt; <span class="filename">"System"</span>
-&gt; <span class="filename">"Advanced"</span>&nbsp;
-&gt; <span class="filename">"Environment Variables"</span>.
If you are logged on as administrator to the local computer AND want to
let all other users use these two environment variables, click
<span class="filename">"New"</span> under <span class="filename">"System Variables"</span> box;
otherwise, click <span class="filename">"New"</span>
under
<span class="filename">"User Variables"</span> box.
In the New Variable window, set </p>

<p> <span class="filename">"Variable name"</span>
as <span class="filename">HDF5_EXT_ZLIB</span> </p>

<p> <span class="filename">"Variable value"</span>
as <span class="filename">zdll.lib</span>, then
click OK. </p>

<p>Similarly, you can set:</p>

<p><span class="filename">HDF5_EXT_SZIP</span>
environment variable as
<span class="filename">szlibdll.lib</span></p>

<p class="note">Notes:</p>

<ul class="intable">

  <li>
    <p class="note">a. You might have to close and reopen
running programs for the new environment variable settings to take
effect. </p>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p class="note">b. <span class="filename">c:\zlib122\zlib1.dll
    </span>and <span class="filename">c:\szip\dll\szlibdll.dll</span>
should be copied into the location that the application can find, one
suggestion is to use the <span class="filename">c:\WINDOWS\system</span>.

<h3><a name="step2_section2"><u>STEP 2:
Testing HDF5 libraries and tools</u></a></h3>

<p>HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that
they were built correctly.</p>

<p>We provide 2 options for users to test HDF5 libraries and
tools.</p>

<h4>Option 1: Automatic Testings</h4>

<p>HDF5 comes with various test suites, all of which can be
tested with hdf5check.bat batch file in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory. </p>

<p>hdf5check batch file can be run with one of the following four
options: </p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<table style="border: thin solid blue;" border="1">

      </td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>
</table>

</div>

<p>Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with
appropriate option.</p>

<p>Test results are saved in two files:</p>

<p class="filename">c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt</p>

<p class="filename">c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt.</p>

<p>In general, you only need to check<span class="filename">
tests_results.txt</span>. If all the tests passed, then you do
not have to check <span class="filename">check_results.txt</span>.
If some tests failed, check <span class="filename">check_results.txt</span>
can help you figure out what was wrong. </p>

<h4>Option 2: Step-by-step HDF5 libraries and tools testings</h4>

<p>You can also test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one. There
are four versions of HDF5 libraries and tools testing. They are: </p>

<ul class="normal">

  <li>
    <p>release version</p>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p>release dll version</p>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p>debug version</p>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p>debug dll version</p>

  </li>

</ul>

<p>We strongly suggest you to redirect your testing results into
an output file so that you can easily check the testing results. You
may use either Notepad or WordPad or whatever other windows word
processor to check the results. For the purpose of printing, please
choose font less than 14 for better alignment of the text.
</p>

<p>DLLs listed below should be placed into the Windows system
directory. A batch file named <span class="filename">install_dll.bat</span>
is included in
<span class="filename">c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5</span>
directory. Run this batch file and the following HDF5 DLLs will be
copied to the system directory. </p>

      <li>If you must install <span class="filename">all.dsw</span>

another directory, relative to <span class="filename">hdf5</span>
directory, you will be asked to locate the sub-project files, when you
open the project <span class="filename">all.dsw.</span>
      </li>

      <li>If you want to rename all (the entire project), you
will need to modify two files <span class="filename">all.dsw</span>
and <span class="filename">all.dsp</span> as text
(contrary to
the explicit warnings in the files). </li>

      <li>You can also modify <span class="filename">all.dsw</span>

text, to allow these two files to be installed in another directory. </li>

<h3>3. Backward compatibility with 1.6</h3>

<ul class="intable">

  <li>
    <p>If you are going to use 1.6 APIs with 1.8 branch, you may
do the following two things:</p>

    <ul class="intable">

      <li>
        <h4>3.1 Uncomment out /*#define H5_WANT_H5_V1_6_COMPAT
1*/
inside h5pubconf.h under windows\src.</h4>

      </li>

      <li>
        <h4>3.2 Set up an environment variable
H5_WANT_H5_V1_6_COMPAT to 1, this will be used to test compatibility
of error APIs.</h4>

      </li>

    </ul>

  </li>

  <li>
    <p>Remember to undo 1 and 2 after you test if you are not
going to use 1.6 backward compatibility option.</p>

  </li>
