Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 on Command Line
for Windows XP/2000
************************************************************************
Note: This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
line.
Currently, we only support building and testing HDF5 on command
line with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and DEC Fortran 6.0.
For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in
the development environment. Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt
for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or
INSTALL_Windows_short.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation
instructions.
*****************************WARNINGS***********************************
Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
************************************************************************
Extra Preconditions
1. Set path for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and DEC Fortran 6.0
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your Visual C++ 6.0 path (For example,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\)
and DEC Fortran 6.0 path (For example,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\)
into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
2. Add WinZip command line support (Optional)
To use WinZip command line utility, you have to install
WinZip 9.0 or higher version.
If you want to extract hdf5\windows\all.zip on the command line,
you should
2.1 Install WinZip command line support add-on 1.1
Download WinZip command line support add-on 1.1 from
http://www.winzip.com and install it.
2.2 Add WinZip into environment path
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your WinZip path (For example C:\Program Files\WinZip)
into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
Note:
You can also extract all.zip from interactive WinZip interface
without the above two steps.
***********************************************************************
Step 1. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools
1. Unpack all.zip
Unpack all.zip in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows into the
C:\myHDFstuff directory.
This can be done with either of the following 2 options:
Option A. Unpack from the interactive WinZip interface
Option B. unpack on the command line
cd into the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory
type: wzunzip -yO -d -o all.zip c:\MyHDFstuff
2. Build and Test
We provide 2 options for users to build test HDF5 libraries
and tools.
Options A: Build and test in one step
A batch file named hdf5bt.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory
is provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools
together from command line.
hdf5bt.bat has four options:
hdf5bt build and test C library and tools
hdf5bt enablecpp build and test C/C++ libraries
and tools
hdf5bt enablefortran build and test C/Fortran libraries
and tools
hdf5bt enableall build and test C/C++/Fortran
libraries and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt with
appropriate options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5_results.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt.
If all the tests passed, then you do not have to check
hdf5_results.txt. If some tests failed, check
hdf5_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.
Options B: Build and test in two steps
We also provide users with the option to build and test
HDF5 libraries and tools seperately.
Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
A batch file named hdf5build.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and
tools from command line.
hdf5build.bat has four options:
hdf5build build HDF5 C library
and tools
hdf5build enablecpp build HDF5 C/C++ libraries
and tools
hdf5build enablefortran build HDF5 C/Fortran libraries
and tools
hdf5build enableall build HDF5 C/C++/Fortran
libraries and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build with
appropriate options. Compiling outputs are saved in
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build_results.txt. You can check
the file to find out whether there are any compilation
errors.
Step 2) Test HDF5 Libraries and Tools
A batch file named hdf5check.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
directory is provided for users to test HDF5 library
and tools from command line.
hdf5check.bat has four options:
hdf5check test HDF5 C library and tools
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
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with
appropriate options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. If
all the tests passed, then you do not have to check
check_results.txt. If some tests failed, check
check_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.
STEP 2: Installing HDF5 Libraries
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install all
HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
For further information, please refer to INSTALL_WINDOWS.txt.

HDF5 Build and Install Instructions for Windows 2000/XP (Short Version)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly
build HDF5 library and tools from the HDF5 source code package
but do not want to know HDF5 building and installation details
on Windows 2000/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
INSATLL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt.
***************************WARNINGS*************************************
Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
************************************************************************
STEP 1: Building HDF5 Libraries and Tools
1. Unpack all.zip
Unpack all.zip in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows into the
c:\MyHDFstuff directory.
2. Open all.dsw workspace
Open the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\all\all.dsw workspace.
3. (Optional) Add C++ and/or FORTRAN related projects
3.1 Add the following projects to project "all" dependencies
ONLY if you want to build HDF5 C++ libraries
dsets_cpp
dsets_cppdll
hdf5_cpp
hdf5_cppdll
testhdf5_cpp
testhdf5_cppdll
3.2 Add the follwing projects to project "all" dependencies

4. Select "Build", then Select "Set Active Configuration".
In "Project configurations", select the active configuration
"all -- Win32 Debug"
or
"all -- Win32 Release"
Then build project "all".
STEP 2: Testing HDF5 Libraries and Tools
HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that they were
built correctly.
HDF5 libraries and tools can be tested with hdf5check.bat batch file
in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
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
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate
options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. If all the
tests passed, then you do not have to check check_results.txt.
If some tests failed, check check_results.txt can help you
figure out what was wrong.
If you want to test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one, please refer to
section II, step 2 in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
STEP 3: Installing HDF5 Libraries
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install
all HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
STEP 4: Building HDF5 Examples (Optional)
Please read section II, step 4 in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
