Purpose:
Fix fix
Description:
Moved Binh-Minh's fix of the lack of support for C++ in libtool by
adding the DEFAULT_LIBS macro into the configure.in and
config/commence.in files.
Solution:
Put it into the configure.in and commence.in files. Reran autoconf.
Purpose:
Added platform support
Description:
Added new macro DEFAULT_LIBS to specify default library for the
C++ API tests
Platforms tested:
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
There were weird "throw()"s which were being placed into the
configure script. Some C++ compilers were barfing on this syntax
(which was akin to "extern int exit(int) throw ();" wonder why?).
Solution:
Ran a different autoconf on the configure file which I'd downloaded
from ftp.gnu.org. It doesn't have those "throw()"s anymore
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description & Solution:
In the test for "namespace", we needed to include the "iostream"
header file to remove errors for strict compilers who need iostream
for namespaces. I moved the test for namespace to after the test for
"old header filenames" to make sure that I'm #including the correct
iostream ("iostream" or "iostream.h").
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Portability changes
Description:
Very quick port to Compaq (nee DEC) Alpha OSF5.
Solution:
Added a new "dec-osf5.x" configuration file and changed configure.in
to look for it.
The local test machine is now passing all the tests, except I can't get
the "-L<path>" stuff to work, so tools which depend on the HDF4 library
around tested.
Platforms tested:
Compaq Alpha 5.1 (compaq.ncsa.uiuc.edu)
Bug Fix
Description:
If the user specifies where to look for a library (like the zlib) on
the commandline, then we add that directory to the LDFLAGS macro.
Solution:
Copied the code which checks for this from the C configure.in. Also
added code which checks for the --with-zlib flag since that wasn't in
there.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Fixup
Description:
We were specifying a config file for the C++ stuff and it didn't need
one. This would cause problems with compiling the C++ stuff since it
wouldn't get the correct H5config.h file.
Solution:
Removed support for it.
Platforms tested:
Eirene
Fix
Description:
Needed to change the extention to the file configure expects to
be in the source directory when Binh-Minh changed the extensions
for all the files.
Solution:
Did just that.
Buglet fix...
Description:
When configuring, configure would complain about there not being
a confdefs.h file.
Solution:
Added a src/H5config.h file which configure can generate. This
can be used for configure stuff later, but is empty now.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
It would be nice if I'd done this correctly the first time.
Solution:
Doh! NEeded to use the ``using'' keyword...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
Namespace wasn't being detected properly.
Solution:
Changed it to do it properly (not putting the main() function in
the namespace);
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
Configure wasn't picking up the LT_STATIC_EXEC stuff from the
top-level configure.
Solution:
Added LT_STATIC_EXEC logic
Platforms tested:
Linux
