<h1>Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 on Windows XP </h1>
<h1>from Command Line </h1>
<hr class="first" >
<p class="note">Notes:</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>2. Currently, we support:</p>
<ul class="intable">
<li><p>(1) Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft Visual
C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.</p>
<li><p>(2) Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
Microsoft Visual C++ .Net (2003)</p>
<li><p>(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.</p>
<p>For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in the development environment.
Please refer to<span class="filename"> INSTALL_Windows.txt</span> for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or
<span class="filename">INSTALL_Windows_short_*.txt</span> for quick HDF5 building and installation instructions.
</p>
<li><p>(4) Different compiler is using different batch files on command line
to build HDF5 Libraries.</p>

<p>Be careful to choose the corresponding batch file when you choose a procedure below to build HDF5 Libraries.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="note">3. Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and notes in
<span class="filename">INSTALL_Windows.txt</span> before starting below procedures. </p>
<hr class="second" >
<h2>Preconditions</h2>
<hr class="second" >
<h3>1. Add WinZip command line support (Optional)</h3>
<p>To use WinZip command line utility, you have to install WinZip 9.0 or higher version.</p>
<p>If you want to extract zip files on the command line, you should</p>
<ul class="intable">
<li><h4>1.1 Install WinZip command line support add-on 1.1</h4>
<p>Download WinZip command line support add-on 1.1 from <a href="http://www.winzip.com" target="_blank">http://www.winzip.com</a> and install it. </p> <li><h4>1.2 Add WinZip into environment path</h4> <p>Open
<span class="filename">"System"</span> in Control Panel.
On the <span class="filename">"Advanced"</span> tab, click
<span class="filename">"Environment Variables"</span>, click
<span class="filename">"Path" </span>in the<span class="filename">
"System variables"</span> box, then click <span class="filename">"Edit"</span> and
add your WinZip path (For example <span class="filename">
C:\Program Files\WinZip) </span>into <span class="filename">"Variable
Value" </span>and click <span class="filename">"OK". </span> </p>
<p class="note">Notes:</p>
<p>You can also extract zip files from interactive WinZip
interface without the above two steps. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<hr class="second" >
<h2>Section I: Building and testing HDF5 with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.</h2>
<hr class="second" >
<h3>1. Extra Preconditions: </h3>
<ul class="intable">
<li><h4>1.1 Set path for Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0</h4>
<p>Open <span class="filename">"System"</span> in Control Panel.</p>
<p>On the <span class="filename">"Advanced"</span> tab, click
<span class="filename">"Environment Variables", </span>
click <span class="filename">"Path" </span>in the
<span class="filename">"System variables" </span>box,
then click<span class="filename"> "Edit"</span> and
add your Visual C++ 6.0 path (For example,
<span class="filename">C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\</span>)
and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0 path (For example,
<span class="filename">C:\Program Files\Microsoft

</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools</h3>
<p>We provide 2 options for users to build test HDF5 libraries and tools.</p>
<ul class="intable">
<li><h4>2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step</h4>
<p>A batch file named <span class="filename">hdf5bt.bat

is provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools
together from command line.

.Net 2003 format from command line.</p></li>
<li><h4>1.3 Set path for Microsoft Visual C++ .Net</h4>
<p>Open "System" in Control Panel.</p>
<p>On the <span class="filename">"Advanced"</span> tab, click
<span class="filename">"Environment Variables"</span>, click
<span class="filename">"Path"</span> in the
<span class="filename">"System variables"</span> box, then click<span class="filename"> "Edit"</span> and
add your Visual C++ .Net path (For example,
