Section X: How to build HDF5 on windows Vista
========================================================================
Building on Windows Vista is very similar to building on Windows XP, with
some minor changes. Therefore, follow the build instructions above, with the
following considerations:
1. Only Visual Studio 2005 is currently supported on Windows Vista. This
is because Microsoft has ended their support for 6.0 and .NET.
2. Building Fortran libraries has not been tested, and is therefore also
unsupported. You may attempt to build Fortran libraries following the
instructions above, but they should be considered experimental and used
for testing only.
3. Elevated security permissions are required to test the HDF5 libraries.
This is because DLLs are installed in the system directory. To enable
elevated security:
1. In the Start menu, search for "Command Prompt". Right click on
the "Command Prompt" program, and select "Run as administrator."
2. A security dialog will pop up. Make sure you select "Continue."
3. Test HDF5 libraries and tools as usual using "hdf5check.bat"
script.
