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:
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

- 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
