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:
In order for libtool to point to the place zlib lives (when
specified) it needs to add that flag to the LDFLAGS macro. However,
since we're getting this information from the top-level configure,
it's cached. Thus, we don't check for it and the -L flag doesn't get
included into the LDFLAGS macro.
Solution:
Remove the cached value so that the Fortran configure will always
check for zlib even if it's found by the top-level configure.

Portability changes
Description:
Very quick port to Compaq (nee DEC) Alpha OSF5.
Solution:
Added a new "dec-osf5.x" configuration file and changed configure.in
to look for it.
The local test machine is now passing all the tests, except I can't get
the "-L<path>" stuff to work, so tools which depend on the HDF4 library
around tested.
Platforms tested:
Compaq Alpha 5.1 (compaq.ncsa.uiuc.edu)
Bug Fix
Description:
Create a Makefile in the testpar/ directory only if PARALLEL is
enabled.
Solution:
Set a macro to the testpar/Makefile for the generation script.
Bug Fix
Description:
T3E and J90 were complaining about not being able to make for
ADD_PARALLEL_FILES.
Solution:
Somehow the make on these machines must have been weirded out by
the funky pattern matching/replacement that's being done and
couldn't handle a null macro. I now assign "no" to the macro
explicitly

Buglet fix
Description:
Was removing the confdefs.h header which was needed during
Makefile generation.
Solution:
Stopped doing that.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Buglet fix...
Description:
When configuring, configure would complain about there not being
a confdefs.h file.
Solution:
Added a src/H5config.h file which configure can generate. This
can be used for configure stuff later, but is empty now.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Sed was complaining about "filename expected" when trying to
generate the .in files. The problem stemmed from the script sed
was generating in the conftest.s1 file. It needed the DEPEND
filename which wasn't being set.
Solution:
Fixed so that we check if DEPEND is zero before trying to set if
(if not using a GNU make program) instead of testing if DEPEND
has a value in it...I copied this incorrectly from the main
library's configure.in file...my bad.
Platforms tested:
T3E
Bug Fix
Description:
I was relying on the PARALLEL macro to be "yes" or "no" all the
time. This isn't the case.
Solution:
Created the ADD_PARALLEL_FILES macro to do just this.

Bug Fix
Description:
The "fix" for search paths was wrong. It would try to recompute
the SEARCH macro at the end.
Solution:
Stopped it from doing that if the $SEARCH macro has a value. One
question, will fortran always be built from the top directory?
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug Fix
Description:
When running configure on subdirectories (like fortran/), looking
up how make implements SEARCHes failed.
Solution:
Exporting the SEARCH macro so that subdirectories don't have to
look for it.
Platforms tested:
Modi4.
Adding the Fortran interface to the HDF5 library
Description:
Fortran is now a subdirectory of the HDF5 library tree.
Platforms tested:
Solaris and IRIX (O2K)
