Description:
When specifying library search path in Visual Studio, use the DLL folder for zlib. Previously we pointed to the "lib" folder, which was causing confusion.
Description:
Modify Windows documentation to support Intel Visual Fortran 10.1. We have tested it in our Virtual machines, and have fixed the problems we were encountering.
Also, add a new parameter to the hdf5build.BAT and hdf5bt.BAT build scripts to support IVF 10.1.
Tested:
VS2005 with IVF 9.1 and 10.1 on 32-bit XP
Fixed bug in h5ls that prevented relative group listings (like
"h5ls foo.h5/bar") from working correctly.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty) in debug mode
FreeBSD/64 6.2 (liberty) w/C++ & FORTRAN, in debug mode
Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso) w/PGI compilers, w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe,
in debug mode
Linux/64-amd64 2.6 (smirom) w/default API=1.6.x, w/C++ & FORTRAN,
in production mode
Linux/64-ia64 2.6 (cobalt) w/Intel compilers, w/C++ & FORTRAN,
in production mode
Solaris/32 2.10 (linew) w/deprecated symbols disabled, w/C++ & FORTRAN,
w/szip filter, in production mode
Mac OS X/32 10.5.3 (amazon) in debug mode
Linux/64-ia64 2.4 (tg-login3) w/parallel, w/FORTRAN, in production mode
Description: Removing make target "check-perform". The extra target is unneeded
because the perform tests don't take as long to run as initially
anticipated, and can be lumped in with 'make check'.
Tested: kagiso
Description: The configure option --disable-sharedlib-rpath will disable
embedding of the '-Wl,-rpath' information into executables
when shared libraries are produced.
Tested: kagiso
Description:

-- Extra details for setting up 64-bit builds
-- Explain adding HDF5 link settings more clearly
-- Add link to FAQ
-- Misc. typos and formatting
-- INSTALL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt
-- Add note about 64-bit support
-- INSTALL_Windows_Short_NET.TXT
-- Add notes detailing features unsupported on VS.NET
-- INSTALL_Windows_Short_VS2005.TXT
-- Add notes about extra features.
Description:
Small changes, such as commenting out an additional test and fixing the search path, have been added to the MinGW install instructions.
Tested:
MinGW on WinXP
Description: new autotool version information was missing from 1.9
documentation. It was added to 1.8, but I forgot to put it in
the trunk when I did that update. It's there now.
New versions: Automake 1.10.1, Libtool 2.2.2
Tested: none needed, doc update only.
Description: Tests in perform directory were never getting run, and
h5perf* programs were not being installed.
Solution: Added another build option, 'make check-perform', which runs the
tests in the perform directory. Also modified the Makefiles in the
perform directory to install (with 'make install') h5perf when
parallel is enabled, and h5perf and h5perf_serial when parallel
is disabled.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew
Bring r14737 back from the 1.8 branch: Fix bug which would
incorrectly encode the member offsets for compound datatypes whose size was
between 256 & 511 bytes, when the "use the latest format" feature was enabled.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.2 (amazon) w/debug
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty) w/production
Tools
-----
- h5import bug on Windows w/binary datasets. fread in windows needs a binary file
to be open with rb instead of r otherwise it terminates execution if an end
of file character is found on the input file. Besides that the binary file
generated needs to be open with wb , otherwise an end of line character is
read twice. PVN - 2008/2/19
Description:
List the new HL C examples that were added in the last checkin. Rather than listing each one individually, we give a brief summary, and instructions for how to test them.
Description:
This is the same patch that Mike McGreevy helped me with on the 1.8 branch. The latest cygwin DLL has trouble with the global timezone variable. Now in configure, we target CYGWIN with a case statement, and avoid the problem.
Tested:
Cygwin on WinXP
Description:
The collection of HL C examples that we distribute for Windows is incomplete. I wasn't aware of it until Pedro pointed it out, because we use different (although similar) names for the generated files. This checkin changes the naming to follow Linux, in preparation to add the rest of the HL examples to Windows.
Note: I believe I've updated the MANIFEST accordingly, but I may have missed something-- I'll check on Linux shortly after this commit.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
VS.NET on WinXP
Fold all the updates made for v1.8.0 release to the main trunk.
Versions are from r14548 to r14556. Changes are,
Updated section 4 for v1.8 release.
(May still check the v1.6 INSTALL to see if something can be adopted from
there. But this is good for v1.8 release.)
Moved the section 2. "Warnings about compilers" to Appendix A; renumbered
section 3-7 to section 2-6 and fixed all section references.
Updated Website names from ncsa.uiuc.edu to hdfgroup.org or hdfgroup.uiuc.edu.
Updated section 1-3 and some of section 4.
Quick editorial review.
Convert tabs to spaces for consistent display and printing.
Verify and fix links and references.
Moved the following three paragraphs to the Appendix part since they have old
information that are not relevant most recent machines or compilers.
"Large (>2GB) versus small (<2GB) file capability",
"Building and testing with Intel compilers"
"Building and testing with PGI compilers"
Description:
We've run into a bug that was introduced in the latest version of Cygwin, that breaks C99 code using the 'timezone' global variable. As a workaround, we use the -ansi flag, which makes everything compile/link/test correctly
Tested: Cygwin on WinXP
Description:
Wrote documentation on how to use the 1.6 API for a user application-- this replaces the outdated documentation we previously had.
Tested: VS2005 with HDFEOS5
Description:
There are many tests that are unsupported on MinGW because of the way it handles certain syntax in shell scripts (particularly '/'). As a result, we list a few tests that users must comment out in various Makefile.in's. This checkin updates the location of h5stat-- it was formerly in ./tools/misc, but has been moved it ./tools/h5stat.
Tested:
MinGW on WinXP
Removed the stream-vfd from the basic library code.
(The stream-vfd source files are not removed yet but the MANIFEST has been
updated to NOT release those stream-vfd source files.)
Platforms tested:
Kagiso and smirom.
Then test the release tar ball in kagiso.
Description:
Previously, we provided a static h5tinit.c with our Windows distribution, and provided instructions to optionally generate it. Now, we will incorporate it as part of the default build process, to emulate other platforms more closely.
Tested:
VS6
VS2005
Description:
We recently uploaded new versions of our external library binaries to support more compiler configurations. This check-in is to point to the new location in our documentation.
Tested:
None
Tools:
------
- h5dump lists groups and attributes in requested orders (by name and
creation order, both ascending and descending). PVN - 2007/10/5
- h5import imports string (text) data. PVN - 2007/10/5
Description:
This updates the command-line build process to handle structural changes we've made in the HDF5 project files. Also, we add support for two new options:
/fort - to build Fortran libraries
/useenv - to allow users to specify include and libpath directories on the command line as well.
Also updated documentation to reflect these change.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
There are minor changes in the testing process for Windows with the new test scripts. Specifically, the test output is output to the screen, rather than redirected into files, by default. Also, it is much easier to test parts modularly, and installing DLLs is one step, instead of separated batch files.
Tested:
None, only documentation changed.
Description:
This checkin is another Windows project cleanup, and also extends our Windows support for 64-bit Fortran. Project files are now in VS2005 format, rather than VS.NET. A couple projects have been renamed to be more descriptive (*cstub rather than *_lib), and project settings make better use of build macros. This will make them much easier to update in the future.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP 32-bit
VS2005 on WinXP x64
Description:
Previously the process of generating h5tinit.c, as well as the Fortran type files, was very manual on Windows. For Fortran, the process included opening 4 different solutions, and running 4 different commands from the prompt. I've made things very much more automated, and now only requires only building one project for either C or C/Fortran. Running the commands to generate the file is done automatically.
Tested: VS.NET
Description:
Visual Studio does not have the function siglongjmp. Therefore, we have created a new configure flag H5_HAVE_SIGLONGJMP that tests for this. We use this within H5detect.c.
Tested:
VS.NET
h5committest
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:
The Windows documentation on generating H5tinit.c was lacking special instructions for Visual Studio 2005. Specifically, Windows does not support the function "siglongjmp". Previous versions of Visual Studio will ignore this function, but VS2005 produces an error.
Tested:
VS6
VNET
VS2005
Description:
Explain why Fortran isn't supported on MinGW and give users an "unsupported" alternative. Also re-worked the main documentation to clarify using the HDF5 DLL libraries.
Tested:
None needed.
Description:
This makes major updates to the Windows installation documentation, to account for the switch from VS6 to .NET. Installation instructions for 6.0 can also be found in INSTALL_Windows_Short_MSVS6.0.TXT, although it's noted that we are phasing out our VS6 support.
Also added install instrctions for MinGW, to reflect our initial support. Updated MANIFEST for new file checkin.
Tested:
Instructions for each configuration have been tested.
