<h1>HDF5 Build and Install Instructions for Windows XP with MSVS
6.0</h1>

<h1>(Short Version)</h1>

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

<p>This short instruction is written for users who want to
quickly
build HDF5 library and tools from the HDF5 source code package
with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 but do not want to know HDF5 building
and installation details on Windows XP.
</p>

<p>For detailed HDF5 build and install information, or if you
have
trouble following any steps in the instructions, please refer to
INSTALL_Windows.html for further information.
</p>

<p>For users who would like to build and test HDF5 package from
the
command line, please refer to
INSATLL_Windows_From_Command_Line.html.
</p>

<p class="note">Warnings: Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5
build and install preconditions and notes in INSTALL_Windows.html
before starting below procedures.</p>

<h2> STEP 2: Testing HDF5 Libraries and Tools </h2>

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

<p>HDF5 libraries and tools can be tested with hdf5check.bat
batch file in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
</p>

<p>hdf5check.bat has four options:</p>

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

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <th>Options</th>

      <th>Illustration</th>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p>hdf5check</p>

      </td>

      <td>
      <p>test HDF5 C library and tools only</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p>hdf5check enablecpp</p>

      </td>

      <td>
      <p>test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools.</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p>hdf5check enablefortran</p>

      </td>

      <td>
      <p>test HDF5 C/FORTRAN libraries and tools</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>
      <p>hdf5check enableall</p>

      </td>

      <td>
      <p>test HDF5 C/C++/FORTRAN libraries and tools</p>

      </td>

    </tr>

  </tbody>
</table>

</div>

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

<p>Test results are saved into file:</p>

<ul class="normal">

  <li>c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt</li>

</ul>

<p>Check check_results.txt and there should be no failures at all.</p>

<p>If you want to test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one,
please refer to <a href="http://hdfgroup.org/windows/INSTALL_Windows.html#step2_section2" target="_blank">Section II, step 2 in INSTALL_Windows.html</a>.</p>

<hr class="second">
<h2>STEP 3: Installing HDF5 Libraries</h2>

<hr class="second">
<p>Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to
install all HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib
directory.</p>
