************************************************************************
* Build and Install HDF5 C/C++ Library with Visual Studio 2008 *
* with Windows XP (Short Version) *
************************************************************************
Notes: 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 2008 but do not want to know HDF5 building and installation
details on Windows XP.
For detailed HDF5 build and install information, or if you have trouble
following any steps in the instructions, please refer to
INSTALL_Windows.txt for further information.
For users who would like to build and test HDF5 package from the
command line, please refer to INSTALL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt.
Notes:
1. HDF5 1.8 can also be built using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows
Vista. For details, please see Section X of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
2. 64-bit builds are also supported in Visual Studio 2008. For details
please see Section IX of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
3. Fortran libraries can be built with Visual Studio 2008 and Intel
Fortran 10.1. For details, see Section VI of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
WARNINGS:
Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
========================================================================
Preconditions
========================================================================
1. Set up path for external libraries and headers
Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features provided
by HDF5. Please do read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib or Szip. You
also need to read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio and go to "Tools" and select "Options". In
the left pane of "Option" window poped up, choose and expand "Projects",
Click on "VC++ Directories". In the right pane, Find the box "Show
directories for", choose "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib
and Szip header path (for example, c:\zlib125\include, c:\szip\include)
from the directory list, add the header path (c:\zlib125\include,
c:\szip\include) to the included directories.
Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", If you cannot
find your Zlib and Szip library path (for example, c:\zlib125\dll,
c:\szip\dll) from the directory list, add the library path
(c:\zlib125\dll, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories.
========================================================================
Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with Visual Studio 2005
========================================================================
1. 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, windows specific source codes and
text files saved under c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the
corresponding directories under hdf5.
2. Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio compiler
Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio. From the main menu, go to "File" and
select the "Open Solution" option. Then open the
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.sln solution if you are building
without Fortran libraries, or
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all_fortran\all_fortran.sln if you would
like to use Fortran.
You should find Windows project files listed as "all", "big", etc. on the
left.
3. (Optional) Disable HDF5 C++ and High level C++
In HDF5 1.8, C++ and HL C++ libraries are built by default. To opt-out,
you must explicitly disable them.
3.1 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level C++ libraries
Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and
disable all of the following projects:
hdf5_hl_cpp
hdf5_hl_cppdll
hl_test_table_cpp
hl_test_table_cppdll
3.2 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level libraries
Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and
disable all of the project files listed in the previous step, as well
as the following projects:
hdf5_hl
hdf5_hldll
hl_test_image
hl_test_imagedll
hl_test_lite
hl_test_litedll
hl_test_table
hl_test_tabledll
hl_test_ds
hl_test_dsdll
hl_test_packet
hl_test_packetdll
Click on "OK", From the main menu, choose "Build"-> "Build" or
"Rebuild ALL" to build both release and debug version of HDF5
Libraries.
4. Select "Build", then Select "Configuration Manager".
4.1 To build debug static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs, and tests:
In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Debug". Select "Close".
Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build debug
version of project "all".
4.2 To build release static libraries, multithreaded DLLs and tests:
In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Release". Select "Close".
Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build release
version of project "all".
Both debug and release versions must be built.
Warning messages can be ignored.
========================================================================
Testing HDF5 C/C++ Libraries
========================================================================
HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that they were
built correctly. c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5check.bat was provided to test
HDF5 libraries and tools.
hdf5check.bat has four options:
hdf5check test HDF5 C library and tools only
hdf5check enablecpp test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools
hdf5check enablefortran test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and tools
hdf5check enableall test HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries and tools
nodebug -- can be added to any of the above to not
test debug versions
Notes: Users who only build HDF5 C/C++ libraries ONLY have the first
two options.
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate option.
Users are encouraged to pipe the test output into a file. You should find
no "*FAILED*" marks.
If you want to test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one, please refer to
Section II, step 2 in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
========================================================================
Installing HDF5 C/C++ Libraries
========================================================================
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install
all HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
========================================================================
Building HDF5 Examples and Applications
========================================================================
Building HDF5 Examples is Optional. Please read Section II, step 4 and
the following part in INSTALL_Windows.txt for detailed information.
