---------------------- ./INSTALL Added instructions for which C flags to set for debugging. ./src/H5C.c ./src/H5Cpublic.h H5Cset_chunk() takes const pointer. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dprivate.h ./src/H5Dpublic.h Added H5Dextend() to extend the dimensions of a dataset. ./src/H5Osdspace.c ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Pprivate.h ./src/H5Ppublic.h ./test/cmpd_dset.c ./test/dsets.c ./test/th5p.c Added the optional `maxdims' argument to H5Pcreate_simple() and defined constant H5P_UNLIMITED which can appear in the maxdims. Added `const' to arguments. Implemented H5Pcopy() Removed the unused file argument from H5P_modify. Added H5P_extend(). Removed the `flags' field from simple data types and we determine if the `max' or `perm' arrays are valid by looking at the pointer. Cleaned up the H5O_sdspace_debug output. ./src/H5T.c Fixed a printf format. ./MANIFEST ./test/Makefile.in ./test/extend.c [NEW] Added a test for multi-dimensional unlimited dimensions.

This file contains instructions for the installation of HDF5 on
|
|
Unix-like systems. First, one must obtain a tarball of the HDF5
|
|
release from ---FIXME---->http://hdf5.ncsa.uiuc.edu<----FIXME---
|
|
repository. The files are available in uncompressed tar, gzip, bzip2,
|
|
and compress formats.
|
|
|
|
For those that like to live dangerously and don't like to read ;-) you
|
|
can do the following:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xf hdf-5.0.0a.tar
|
|
$ cd hdf-5.0.0a
|
|
$ make test
|
|
$ make install # Optional
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1. Unpack the source tree.
|
|
|
|
* The tarball will unpack into an hdf-5.0.0a directory with one of
|
|
the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xf hdf-5.0.0a.tar OR
|
|
$ gunzip <hdf-5.0.0a.tar.gz |tar xf - OR
|
|
$ bunzip2 <hdf-5.0.0a.tar.bz2 |tar xf - OR
|
|
$ uncompress -c <hdf-5.0.0a.tar.Z | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2. Configure makefiles.
|
|
|
|
* HDF5 uses the GNU autoconf program for configuration. Most
|
|
installations can be configured by typing just (from the
|
|
hdf-5.0.0a directory)
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
* By default libraries, include files, programs, and documentation
|
|
are installed under /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include,
|
|
/usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/man. However, if you want them
|
|
in some other location you can specify a prefix to use instead
|
|
of /usr/local. For instance, to install in /usr/lib,
|
|
/usr/include, /usr/bin, and /usr/man one would say
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
|
|
Note: HDF5 can be used without installing it.
|
|
|
|
* You can also override detection of certain things with
|
|
environment variables:
|
|
|
|
CC Name of the C compiler to use.
|
|
CFLAGS Alternate C compiler flags.
|
|
CPPFLAGS Alternate C preprocessor flags.
|
|
MAKE Name of the make(1) program.
|
|
|
|
For instance it is common to specify the name of the C compiler,
|
|
C proprocessor flags, and compiler flags (add `env' to the
|
|
beginning of this command if you're running a csh-like shell)
|
|
|
|
$ CC=gcc CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG CFLAGS="-Wall -O3" ./configure
|
|
|
|
* The HDF team recommends the following C flags for this prototype
|
|
release of the library.
|
|
|
|
o Full warnings, usually `-fullwarn' or `-Wall' depending on
|
|
the compiler. With GCC you may optionally add:
|
|
-Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes
|
|
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs
|
|
|
|
o Symbol table, usually with `-g'
|
|
|
|
o Turn on debugging code in the various packages. Some
|
|
packages just produce extra output while others traverse
|
|
data structures looking for things that seem to be wrong.
|
|
|
|
-DH5AC_DEBUG - cache debugging
|
|
-DH5B_DEBUG - B-link-tree debugging
|
|
-DH5F_DEBUG - File debugging
|
|
-DH5G_DEBUG - Group debugging
|
|
-UH5O_DEBUG - Open/Close debugging (produces lots of output)
|
|
-DH5T_DEBUG - Data type conversion statistics
|
|
|
|
o The default low level driver can be chosen with
|
|
|
|
-DH5F_LOW_DFLT=H5F_LOW_STDIO - Use libc stdio.h functions
|
|
-DH5F_LOW_DFLT=H5F_LOW_SEC2 - Use system calls directly
|
|
|
|
the default is to use stdio functions.
|
|
|
|
* You can see a list of other configuration options by saying
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 3. Compile library, tests, and programs.
|
|
|
|
* Build library targets by saying
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Note: If you supplied some other make command through the MAKE
|
|
environment variable in the previous step then use that command
|
|
instead. The same applies below.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you're re-building the library after changing some
|
|
files and you're not using GNU make and gcc, then you should say
|
|
`make clean' from the top directory between each build attempt
|
|
since the development Makefiles don't have complete dependency
|
|
information yet.
|
|
|
|
Note: When using GNU make you can add `-j -l6' to the make
|
|
command to compile in parallel on SMP machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 4. Run confidence tests.
|
|
|
|
* All confidence tests should be run by saying
|
|
|
|
$ make test
|
|
|
|
The command will fail if any test fails.
|
|
|
|
Note: some old versions of make will report that `test is up to
|
|
date'. If this happens then run `make _test' instead or run
|
|
`make test' from within the test directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 5. Install public files.
|
|
|
|
* Install the library, header files, and programs by saying:
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
This step will fail unless you have permission to write to the
|
|
installation directories. Of course, you can use the header
|
|
files, library, and programs directly out of the source tree if
|
|
you like, skipping this step.
|
|
|
|
Step 6. Subscribe to mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
* Subscribe to the mailing lists described in the README file.
