Minor feature
Description:
If a user configures without C++ or Fortran, 'make' will not recurse into
c++ or fortran directories. However, if the user cd's into these
directories and 'makes,' the Makefiles will attempt to build interfaces
that have not been configured, usually failing.
In an unrelated but minor change, src/H5detect should be compiled with
the -g flag to disable compiler optimizations since it is only
executed once.
Solution:
Make it harder for users to try to compile interfaces that have not been
configured by making c++, fortran, and hl directories not recurse into
their subdirectories unless they have been configured.
Thus, 'make' in /fortran/src will break if Fortran has not been configured,
but 'make' in /fortran will not break.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
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
