If you are building an application that uses the HDF5 library
the following locations will need to be specified for locating
@ -253,7 +258,50 @@ where <top-level HDF5 directory> may be
C:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\
To specify this location in the settings for your VC++ project:
1. Open your VC project in Microsoft Visual C++ and make sure it is the
active project.
2. Go to the Project menu and chose the 'Settings' option.
3. Chose the build configuration you would like to modify in the drop down
menu labeled with 'Settings For:'
4. Chose the C/C++ tab
5. At the bottom of the window, there should be a text-area labeled with
'Project Options:'. In this text-area, scroll until you reach the end
and type /I "<top-level HDF5 directory>\src" and then click OK.
To link the HDF5 library with your application:
1. Open your VC project in Microsoft Visual C++ and make sure it is the
active project.
2. Go to the Project menu and chose the 'Add to Project' option and then
'Files' option.
3. Change the 'Files of type:' to 'Library Files (.lib)'
4. Navigate through the directories until you find the location of the
hdf5.lib.
5. Select hdf5.lib and click OK.
To use the DLL:
1. Follow the steps for specifing the location of the header files as shown
above.
2. Follow the steps for linking the HDF5 library as shown above except now
link the export library that is created with the DLL. The export library
is called hdf5dll.lib.
3. Place the DLL in a location that Windows will be able to locate it.
The search path and order for DLL's is
a) The directory where the executable module for the current process is
located.
b) The current directory.
c} The Windows system directory. The GetSystemDirectory function
retrieves the path of this directory.
d) The Windows directory. The GetWindowsDirectory function retrieves the
path of this directory.
e) The directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
