|
|
* Build and Install HDF5 C/C++ Library with Visual Studio 2008 *
|
|
* with Windows XP (Short Version) *
|
|
************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
Notes: This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly build
|
|
HDF5 library and tools from the HDF5 source code package with Microsoft
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 but do not want to know HDF5 building and installation
|
|
details on Windows XP.
|
|
|
|
For detailed HDF5 build and install information, or if you have trouble
|
|
following any steps in the instructions, please refer to
|
|
INSTALL_Windows.txt for further information.
|
|
|
|
For users who would like to build and test HDF5 package from the
|
|
command line, please refer to INSTALL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
1. HDF5 1.8 can also be built using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows
|
|
Vista. For details, please see Section X of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
2. 64-bit builds are also supported in Visual Studio 2008. For details
|
|
please see Section IX of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
3. Fortran libraries can be built with Visual Studio 2008 and Intel
|
|
Fortran 10.1. For details, see Section VI of INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
WARNINGS:
|
|
|
|
Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
|
|
notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Preconditions
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Set up path for external libraries and headers
|
|
|
|
Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features provided
|
|
by HDF5. Please do read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib or Szip. You
|
|
also need to read Section V in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio and go to "Tools" and select "Options". In
|
|
the left pane of "Option" window poped up, choose and expand "Projects",
|
|
Click on "VC++ Directories". In the right pane, Find the box "Show
|
|
directories for", choose "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib
|
|
and Szip header path (for example, c:\zlib125\include, c:\szip\include)
|
|
from the directory list, add the header path (c:\zlib125\include,
|
|
c:\szip\include) to the included directories.
|
|
|
|
Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", If you cannot
|
|
find your Zlib and Szip library path (for example, c:\zlib125\dll,
|
|
c:\szip\dll) from the directory list, add the library path
|
|
(c:\zlib125\dll, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories.
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with Visual Studio 2005
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat
|
|
|
|
Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat. This process will
|
|
copy all the necessary batch files, windows specific source codes and
|
|
text files saved under c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the
|
|
corresponding directories under hdf5.
|
|
|
|
2. Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio compiler
|
|
|
|
Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio. From the main menu, go to "File" and
|
|
select the "Open Solution" option. Then open the
|
|
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.sln solution if you are building
|
|
without Fortran libraries, or
|
|
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all_fortran\all_fortran.sln if you would
|
|
like to use Fortran.
|
|
|
|
You should find Windows project files listed as "all", "big", etc. on the
|
|
left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. (Optional) Disable HDF5 C++ and High level C++
|
|
|
|
In HDF5 1.8, C++ and HL C++ libraries are built by default. To opt-out,
|
|
you must explicitly disable them.
|
|
|
|
3.1 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level C++ libraries
|
|
|
|
Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and
|
|
disable all of the following projects:
|
|
|
|
hdf5_hl_cpp
|
|
hdf5_hl_cppdll
|
|
hl_test_table_cpp
|
|
hl_test_table_cppdll
|
|
|
|
3.2 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level libraries
|
|
|
|
Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies". Select "all", and
|
|
disable all of the project files listed in the previous step, as well
|
|
as the following projects:
|
|
|
|
hdf5_hl
|
|
hdf5_hldll
|
|
hl_test_image
|
|
hl_test_imagedll
|
|
hl_test_lite
|
|
hl_test_litedll
|
|
hl_test_table
|
|
hl_test_tabledll
|
|
hl_test_ds
|
|
hl_test_dsdll
|
|
hl_test_packet
|
|
hl_test_packetdll
|
|
|
|
Click on "OK", From the main menu, choose "Build"-> "Build" or
|
|
"Rebuild ALL" to build both release and debug version of HDF5
|
|
Libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Select "Build", then Select "Configuration Manager".
|
|
|
|
4.1 To build debug static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs, and tests:
|
|
|
|
In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Debug". Select "Close".
|
|
Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build debug
|
|
version of project "all".
|
|
|
|
4.2 To build release static libraries, multithreaded DLLs and tests:
|
|
|
|
In "Active Solution Configuration", select "Release". Select "Close".
|
|
Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" or "Rebuild Solution" to build release
|
|
version of project "all".
|
|
|
|
Both debug and release versions must be built.
|
|
|
|
Warning messages can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Testing HDF5 C/C++ Libraries
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that they were
|
|
built correctly. c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5check.bat was provided to test
|
|
HDF5 libraries and tools.
|
|
|
|
hdf5check.bat has four options:
|
|
|
|
hdf5check test HDF5 C library and tools only
|
|
|
|
hdf5check enablecpp test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools
|
|
|
|
hdf5check enablefortran test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and tools
|
|
|
|
hdf5check enableall test HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries and tools
|
|
|
|
nodebug -- can be added to any of the above to not
|
|
test debug versions
|
|
|
|
Notes: Users who only build HDF5 C/C++ libraries ONLY have the first
|
|
two options.
|
|
|
|
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate option.
|
|
Users are encouraged to pipe the test output into a file. You should find
|
|
no "*FAILED*" marks.
|
|
|
|
If you want to test HDF5 libraries and tools one by one, please refer to
|
|
Section II, step 2 in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Installing HDF5 C/C++ Libraries
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install
|
|
all HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Building HDF5 Examples and Applications
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
Building HDF5 Examples is Optional. Please read Section II, step 4 and
|
|
the following part in INSTALL_Windows.txt for detailed information.
