---------------------- ./INSTALL Added instructions for using other compilers on Irix platforms. ./configure.in ./configure [REGENERATED] ./src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED] ./src/H5private.h The presence of <sys/sysinfo.h> and <sys/proc.h> is only checked on DEC/Alpha because there are too many problems including these headers on other systems. ./config/irix6.x ./config/irix64 Removed `-ansi' and added a comment. Converting an ASCII UTC date and time to a time_t value is not defined by ANSI or Posix but is available if we don't use `-ansi'. This allows the dataset modification time messages to be read properly by H5Gget_objinfo(). ./src/H5Tconv.c Fixed a compiler warning. ./test/dtypes.c ./test/hyperslab.c ./test/istore.c Fixed compiler warnings in printf() statements.

This file contains instructions for the installation of HDF5 on
|
|
Unix-like systems. First, one must obtain a tarball of the HDF5
|
|
release from the ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/dist/HDF5 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 hdf5-1.0.0a.tar
|
|
$ cd hdf5-1.0.0a
|
|
|
|
$ sh configure
|
|
$ make # Builds library and tools
|
|
$ make test # Builds and runs confidence tests.
|
|
# NOTE: if fails, run the
|
|
# command in the test directory
|
|
|
|
$ make install # Optional
|
|
|
|
Note: For the users of the Intel TFLOPS machine, a special sequence of
|
|
steps for the install may be found in the file: INSTALL.ascired.
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT FROM THE FOLLOWING COMPILERS SHOULD BE EXTREMELY SUSPECT WHEN
|
|
USED TO COMPILE THE HDF5 LIBRARY, ESPECIALLY IF OPTIMIZATIONS ARE
|
|
ENABLED. IN ALL CASES, HDF5 ATTEMPTS TO WORK AROUND THE COMPILER BUGS
|
|
BUT THE HDF5 DEVELOPMENT TEAM MAKES NO GUARANTEES THAT THERE ARE OTHER
|
|
CODE GENERATION PROBLEMS.
|
|
|
|
* GNU (Intel platforms)
|
|
Versions before 2.8.1 have serious problems allocating
|
|
registers when functions contain operations on `long long'
|
|
data types. Supplying the `--disable-hsizet' switch to
|
|
configure (documented below) will prevent hdf5 from using
|
|
`long long' data types in situations that are known not to
|
|
work, but it limits the hdf5 address space to 2GB.
|
|
|
|
* DEC
|
|
The V5.2-038 compiler (and possibly others) occasionally
|
|
generates incorrect code for memcpy() calls when optimizations
|
|
are enabled, resulting in unaligned access faults. HDF5 works
|
|
around the problem by casting the second argument to `char*'.
|
|
|
|
* SGI (Irix64 6.2)
|
|
The Mongoose 7.00 compiler has serious optimization bugs and
|
|
should be upgraded to MIPSpro 7.2.1.2m. Patches are available
|
|
from SGI.
|
|
|
|
* Windows/NT
|
|
The MicroSoft Win32 5.0 compiler is unable to cast unsigned
|
|
long long values to doubles. HDF5 works around this bug by
|
|
first casting to signed long long and then to double.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
Step 0: Install optional third-party packages.
|
|
|
|
* Zlib compression library, version 1.1.2 or later is used for
|
|
the `deflate' compression method if available; otherwise no
|
|
compression filters will be predefined. The source code can be
|
|
found at http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib
|
|
|
|
Step 1. Unpack the source tree.
|
|
|
|
* The tarball will unpack into an hdf5-1.1.0 directory with one of
|
|
the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xf hdf5-1.1.0.tar OR
|
|
$ gunzip <hdf5-1.1.0.tar.gz |tar xf - OR
|
|
$ bunzip2 <hdf5-1.1.0.tar.bz2 |tar xf - OR
|
|
$ uncompress -c <hdf5-1.1.0.tar.Z |tar xf -
|
|
|
|
Step 2. Configure.
|
|
|
|
* HDF5 uses the GNU autoconf program for configuration. Most
|
|
installations can be configured by typing just (from the
|
|
hdf5-1.1.0 directory)
|
|
|
|
$ sh configure
|
|
|
|
* The configuration process can be controlled through environment
|
|
variables, command-line switches, and host configuration files.
|
|
For a complete list of switches say `sh configure --help'.
|
|
|
|
* Host configuration files are located in the `config' directory
|
|
and are based on architecture name, vendor name, and/or operating
|
|
system which are displayed near the beginning of the `configure'
|
|
output. Not all hosts require a host configuration file.
|
|
|
|
* The C compiler and flags, the `ar' and `ranlib' program names,
|
|
and the `make' program can be specified with environment
|
|
variables if configure doesn't properly detect them and they are
|
|
not defined in a host config file.
|
|
|
|
CC Name of the C compiler.
|
|
CFLAGS Switches for the C compiler.
|
|
CPPFLAGS Additional switches for the .c -> .o step.
|
|
AR Name of the `ar' program.
|
|
RANLIB Name of the `ranlib' program or `:' if none.
|
|
MAKE Name of the `make' program (GNU make is preferred)
|
|
|
|
* The default compiler is `cc -n32' on Irix6.x platforms and `cc -64' on
|
|
Irix64 platforms. To use an alternate compiler (such as `cc -o32')
|
|
specify the name and compiler selection switch with the CC environment
|
|
variable:
|
|
|
|
$ CC='cc -o32' ./configure ......
|
|
|
|
* This version of HDF5 is normally built with various debugging code
|
|
enabled. To turn it off add the `--disable-debug' switch to the
|
|
configure command. Even if debugging support is compiled into the
|
|
library one must still enable the code at runtime with the HDF5_DEBUG
|
|
environment variable (see Debugging.html). Including debugging support
|
|
in the library (whether it's enabled or not) may incur a significant
|
|
run-time penalty.
|
|
|
|
* This version of HDF5 is normally built with support for symbolic
|
|
debugging with dbx or gdb and without compiler optimization
|
|
switches. To disable symbolic debugging and enable
|
|
optimizations add `--enable-production' to the configure
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
* This version of HDF5 is normally built with the ability to print
|
|
the names, arguments, and return values of all API functions
|
|
when they're called. For more information refer to the
|
|
Debugging.html file. To disable tracing support add
|
|
`--disable-trace' to the configure command.
|
|
|
|
* Configure will look for the GNU zlib (a compression library) in
|
|
the standard places for your environment. If it's installed in
|
|
a non-standard place then absolute path names can be specified
|
|
with `--with-zlib=INCDIR,LIBDIR' for the include file and/or
|
|
library. To prevent detection of zlib use `--without-zlib'.
|
|
|
|
* The HDF5-to-HDF4 conversion tool requires the HDF4 library and header
|
|
files which are auto-detected by configure. If they are in a
|
|
non-standard place then absolute path names can be specified with
|
|
`--with-hdf4=INCDIR,LIBDIR' for the include file and/or library. To
|
|
prevent detection of hdf4 use `--without-hdf4'. Beware of the GNU zlib
|
|
that comes with hdf4 -- it's too old to use with hdf5 (hdf4 tools can be
|
|
linked with the newer versions of zlib).
|
|
|
|
* Old versions of gcc (<2.8.0) may experience register allocation
|
|
problems on some architectures. If this happens then the
|
|
`--disable-hsizet' can be given but the resulting library will
|
|
be unable to handle datasets larger than 4GB.
|
|
|
|
* Libraries, include files, programs, and documentation are
|
|
installed (when one says `make install') 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
|
|
|
|
The library can be used directly from the source tree without
|
|
installing it.
|
|
|
|
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: When using GNU make you can add `-j -l6' to the make
|
|
command to compile in parallel on SMP machines. Do not give a
|
|
number after the `-j' since GNU make will turn it off for
|
|
recursive invocations of make.
|
|
|
|
Step 4. Run confidence tests.
|
|
|
|
* All confidence tests should be run by saying
|
|
|
|
$ make test
|
|
|
|
The command will fail if any test fails, and one will see the
|
|
word "*FAIL*" in the output.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Temporary files will be deleted by each test when it completes,
|
|
but may continue to exist in an incomplete state if the test
|
|
fails. To prevent deletion of the files define the
|
|
HDF5_NOCLEANUP environment variable.
|
|
|
|
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. The directory specified for the
|
|
--prefix switch (or "/usr/local") must exist, but the
|
|
directories under it are created automatically by make.
|
|
|
|
* The minimum which must be installed are:
|
|
|
|
The library:
|
|
./src/libhdf5.a
|
|
|
|
The public header files:
|
|
./src/H5*public.h
|
|
|
|
The main header file:
|
|
./src/hdf5.h
|
|
|
|
The configuration information:
|
|
./src/H5config.h
|
|
|
|
* Additional useful things which are installed:
|
|
|
|
The tools library:
|
|
./tools/libh5tools.a
|
|
|
|
Some tools:
|
|
./tools/h5ls (list file contents)
|
|
./tools/h5dump (dump file contents)
|
|
./tools/h5repart (repartition file families)
|
|
./tools/h5toh4 (hdf5 to hdf4 file converter)
|
|
./tools/h5debug (low-level file debugging)
|
|
./tools/h5import (a demo)
|
|
|
|
