Description:
At a previous seminar, it was brought up that the naming scheme for Windows debug DLL is inconsistent. Specifically, some use *ddll, while others use *dlld. *dlld is more widely-used, so we decided this is "correct". This changes others to use this scheme, and adapts other projects / install scripts / documentation.
Tested:
Visual Studio .NET on WinXP
Description:
Previously, we needed to force symbol definition "gethostname@8" for compatibility with old versions of Visual Studio. It appears that Visual Studio no longer requires this, so we remove it. This makes the build process on 64-bit much smoother.
Also minor updates to main documentation, command-line documentation, and removed codewarrior and INTEL docs.
Tested:
VS.NET
VS2005
chkmanifest
Description:
h5stat was moved from the ./tools/misc directory to its own directory, so many of our files needed to be updated.
Tested:
VS6 on WinXP
VS.NET on WinXP
Description:
- Add new source file H5version.h to Windows projects
- Add new h5stat tests, and uncomment one that no longer fails
- Clean up autotests a little bit.
Tested:
VS.NET on WinXP
Description:
This cleans up a lot of different things we were doing in the Windows batch scripts. For one, we now use "exit /b" to better emulate functions in batch scripts. Also changed error-checking to look for negative return values as well.
This also adds initial support for Visual Studio 2005 command-line builds in hdf5build.BAT
Tested:
WinXP
Description:
Previously, there was a very intricate process for converting VS6 project files to VS.NET format for testing on the command-line. Now that we maintain VS.NET project files, this system is no longer neccessary. The same builds are now carried out in hdf5build.BAT, so the previous files are obsolete.
Removing them, and updating the MANIFEST
Tested:
WinXP
Description:
Our Windows test script was using "ERRORLEVEL" to check the diff output for our tooltests. However, FC does not actually set ERRORLEVEL with valid input. As a work around, we pipe the output into FIND, which sets the ERRORLEVEL if it doesn't find a valid string. We probably never saw this bug before because h5dump sets the ERRORLEVEL.
Tested:
WinXP.
Description:
In the new Windows autotests, hdf5build.BAT was resetting a variable used by hdf5bt.BAT. Changed so hdf5build.BAT looks to see if hdf5bt.BAT is running before it removes this variable.
Tested:
WinXP
Description:
I'm in the process of re-writing the Windows build scripts for Visual Studio .NET (and eventually VS2005). These will be used with an autotest script, which is in the works.
Tested:
VS.NET on WinXP, although probably still needs some work.
Desciption:
This is the first major check-in in the process of depreciating Visual Studio 6.0. We create a new directory, windows_vs6, which now holds all of our previous VS6 project files. We expect to maintain this directory for only a short time (perhaps one release), so users have time to make the change.
The ./windows directory now contains project files for Visual Studio .Net, as well as existing source and test scripts. This will allow us to greatly simplify the build process for the majority of our users.
We have created a new solution (.Net equivolent of workspace) that houses the Fortran project files. This allowed us to remove these files from the main solution, as well as streamline the conversion in the Fortran solution. It is also much easier now to convert to Visual Studio 2005 files.
Notes:
I didn't update the MANIFEST with this check-in, I will make those changes shortly.
Also, I haven't yet updated the documentation to reflect this check-in. That is going to require more work.
We will be giving a seminar in the coming weeks about .Net and how to migrate over.
Tested:
VS6/VNET/VS2005 on WinXP 32/64-bit
Description:
Windows does not accept the buffer size parameter of setvbuf to be less than 2. Previously, we had our fix split between two files, H5private.h and the Windows H5pubconf.h. This was a problem for MinGW, because it generates its own H5private.h. This moves the fix out of H5pubconf.h and into H5private.h.
This shouldn't affect other platforms.
Tested:
MinGW on WinXP
Description:
Changed a macro in H5FDwindows.c from IO_BUF_SIZE to a more specific WINDOWS_MAX_BUF, and moved it to our H5pubconf.h, where users can customize it to their own preference.
This value is needed because of a bug in the Windows _write function, it is unsafe to write buffers larger than 2GB-1 bytes in one write.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP.
I've also updated our Windows documentation file to include 64-bit instructions. The process is fairly tedious right now, but we hope to make it more straight-forward when we depreciate 6.0 and re-work our project files.
Tested:
32-bit WinXP: VS6, VS.NET, and VS 2005
64-bit WinXP: VS.NET and VS 2005
Also added a Windows-specific macro, WINDOWS_USE_STDIO, which users can define if they'd like the Windows VFD to use the buffered low-level I/O functions. This is instead of splitting our Windows driver into two separate drivers. By default, this macro is undefined.
Tested:
VS6 on WinXP
./c++/test/tcompound.cpp
./c++/test/ttypes.cpp
./c++/test/tfilter.cpp
./c++/test/tvlstr.cpp
Also, fixed a declaration in ttypes.cpp that was causing a compile error in MSVS6.0.
Tested:
Visual Studio 6.0 on WinXP
kagiso
too minor for h5committest
H5Obtreek.c and H5Odrvinfo.c in hdf5.dsp and hdf5dll.dsp
h5repack_ref.c in h5repack.dsp, h5repackdll.dsp, and h5repacktst.dsp.
Tested:
Visual Studio 6.0 on Windows XP
Visual Studio 8.0 on Windows XP 64-bit
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
