Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
Purpose:
Changed "HDF5 User's Guide" links (in navigation bars, primarily)
to point to new user's guide, which will reside for a while yet on
the HDF server.
The old user's guide will still go out with the distribution under
the label "HDF5 User's Guide, Release 1.4.5."
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Add short copyright notice.
Update release tag line.
Description:
Added short copyright notice as comment in source files;
does not display in browser.
Updated release tag line in footers to read as follows:
Describes HDF5 Release 1.6.0, July 2003
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Bug fix
Description:
"make distclean" is failing currently in the doc/html/ed_libs and
doc/html/ed_styles directories for lack of a 'Dependencies' file.
Solution:
Add it.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Adapting the document set for use with DreamWeaver.
Description:
These are the DreamWeaver library files, which will be used to manage
common elements across documents: elements that are identical in many
places across the doc set and when they change, they change everywhere.
Testing:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
