Description: This command file defines all necessary compilation flags
and builds all libraries, tests and examples.
If you build in a particular directory, make sure you use
the correct compilation flags since they are not defined
in each individual command file (actually the line is still there
but commented out).
Solution:
Platforms tested: VMS server
Misc. update:
bug fixes
Description:
some function calls had integer constants in the argument list;
these caused size mismatches on some platforms (hsize_t expected)
Solution:
declared hsize_t variables or added casts
Platforms tested:
linux (heping)
solaris
Misc. update:
Description: Some dumper tests suppose to fail; those tests cause make file
to exit.
Solution: For now I commented those tests to let other tests
to run; output is saved in a file for examination. Next step
will be to compare with the existing output. (Actually
the next step will be to learn how to program functions in DCL to
create a test script similar to UNIX one, but at least I finally
figured out why the test script was exiting.)
Platforms tested: VMS server
Misc. update:
Configuration change
Description:
Stream-VFD is now disabled when parallel is enabled.
Solution:
Stream-VFD was causing trouble on some platforms when both it and
parallel HDF5 were being used. This is a pretty odd use case, so
we now disable stream vfd when parallel is being used.
This required moving the test for the stream vfd after the test
for parallel HDF5 in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (configure change only)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Description: Warning message about broken line was displayed while running make.com
Solution: Replaced blank line with $ exit line.
Platforms tested: VMS server; this change is local to VMS only
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
The MPE_Stop_log did not work in copper. It spewed out MPE errors
and ended in infinite looping.
Solution:
Changed to a smaller test size to avoid generating huge MPE log files
when MPE is configured in.
Platforms tested:
Copper (mpe)
Misc. update:

Description:
hdf5_hl_fortran is a mixed language project. when building
this project , the compiler will ask to choose one language as a main

Bug fix.
Description:
When MPE is used, the test generates huge Clog files in /tmp that
could fill up the disk (like in Copper.)
Solution:
Turned off MPE logging.

Misc. update:
"Hide" file format changes (for now)
Description:
Add ifdef's (controlled by the --enable-group-revision configure flag)
to disable group revision changes to the file format, in order to allow alpha
release to go ahead without releasing an unsupported version into the wild.

Misc. update:
feature
Description:
Added the GetTestExpress and SetTestExpress to support the TestExpress mode
according to $HDF5TextExpress. For now, it is just defined or not, the
actual value does not matter.
Platforms tested:
heping(serial), mir (PP).
Bug fix.
Description:
getenv_all would fail if one calls it without calling MPI_initialized first.
This may happen if one uses PHDF5 library to build a serial nature code
and does not make any MPI calls.
Solution:
Added code to detect if MPI has been initialized. If not, use the
original getenv.
Platforms tested:
heping (serial) and mir (parallel).

Correcting typos and updating

Several section numbers are messed up inside INSTALL_Windows.txt.
Remove the section of using DEBUG information inside HDF5 since it is difficult to verify whether this part of code is indeed used. Most people use windows' own debugger while debugging.
