Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
C++ examples weren't being removed.
Solution:
We were trying to remove something called "EXAMPLE_DOCS", but we
needed to remove "EXAMPLE_PROGS" instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Fix fix
Description:
Moved Binh-Minh's fix of the lack of support for C++ in libtool by
adding the DEFAULT_LIBS macro into the configure.in and
config/commence.in files.
Solution:
Put it into the configure.in and commence.in files. Reran autoconf.
Purpose:
Improvement
Description:
Using LIBS for c++ default library resulted in the library showed up
in two many places.
Solution:
Added new macro DEFAULT_LIBS to specify default library for the
C++ API tests
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 (modi4)
Purpose:
Adding new supported platform
Description:
Added this config file for modi4. Note that, when libtool v1.5
is released and we start using it, the default library libCio can
and should be removed from LIBS. It is there now because previous
versions of libtool do not fully support c++ yet and default
libraries must be manually added to the link line.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
Purpose:
Feature Rollback
Description:
Shared C++ libraries aren't working on all platforms (read: Arabica).
We need to switch to the old method until we can sort this out.
Solution:
Re-add the "-static" flag to the library creation lines.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Shared libraries weren't being built for C++.
Solution:
Removed the -static flag from the libtool compile line. This allows
both shared and static libraries to be built instead of just static
ones. After talking with Quincey and Binh-Minh, there shouldn't be
any reason for C++ to be built static only.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
We long ago changed the compiler flags to pick out dependencies to
-MM instead of -M so that only #include "filename.h" type headers
will be put into the .depend file.
Solution:
Changed this flag.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Cleanup
Description:
If there isn't anything to "remove" during the cleanup faze. This
stops the "make clean"s from printing out:
rm -f
all of the time.
Solution:
Check if hte macros have anything in them before calling the rm.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
If we need to specify a -R flag for dynamic libraries (like, in the
case when we specify --with-hdf4), then this flag needs to be added
to the linking line so that it will show up in the generated library
and other programs linking to that library will be able to find the
relevant libraries.
Solution:
Added the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro to the link line.
Platforms tested:
Arabica
Purpose:
Improve C++ API test output appearance
Description:
The C++ API tests are not easy to be spotted because their output
look similar to part of the C tests.
Solution:
Added "C++ API:" in front of the C++ test titles.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Bug Fix
Description:
The RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL macros weren't needed in the C++ stuff
and were messing up some of the testing.
Solution:
Removed them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Reversal of Patch
Description:
I thought that the solaris boxen could handle the -Wc,<flag> flag
(or, rather, that libtool would do the correct thing with their
compilers). However, this isn't the case, apparently.
Solution:
Removed the ``-Wc,-LANG:std'' flag and put it in the CPPFLAGS
macro instead. This should cause it to be passed to the compiler
only...one hopes...
Bug-ish fix
Description:
Spurious warnings would show up if libtool was trying to pass the
-LANG:std flag to the compile line.
Also, if the library is compiled with -all-static, then it would
complain about not finding dlopen and friends.
Solution:
Used the libtool -Wc,<flag> option to pass the -LANG:std flag to
the compile line.
Used ``-dlopen self'' when compiling.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug
Description:
Compiler needed both the -instances=global and the -LANG:std flag
to function.
libtools spits out a warning about not being able to find the
ANG:std library directory, but that's okay...it passes it to the
linker anyway.
Platforms tested:
Solaris (Arabica)
