************************************************************************
* Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 on Windows XP *
* (From Command Line) *
************************************************************************
Note: This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
line.
Currently, we support
1. Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft Visual
C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.
2. Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
Microsoft Visual C++ .Net (2003)
3. Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 integration with Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
2003.
For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in
the development environment. Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt
for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or
INSTALL_Windows_short.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation
instructions.
4. Different compiler is using different batch files on command line
to build HDF5 Libraries.
Compiler Name Batch File to Be Used
MSVS 6.0 hdf5bt.bat hdf5build.bat
MSVS .Net hdf5bt_net.bat hdf5build_net.bat
Intel C++ hdf5bt_intelc.bat hdf5build_intelc.bat
Be careful to type in the corresponding command when you choose
a procedure below to build HDF5 Libraries.
WARNINGS:
Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and
notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
========================================================================
Preconditions
========================================================================
1. Add WinZip command line support (Optional)
To use WinZip command line utility, you have to install
WinZip 9.0 or higher version.
If you want to extract zip files on the command line,
you should
1.1 Install WinZip command line support add-on 1.1
Download WinZip command line support add-on 1.1 from
http://www.winzip.com and install it.
1.2 Add WinZip into environment path
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your WinZip path (For example C:\Program Files\WinZip)
into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
Notes:
You can also extract zip files from interactive WinZip
interface without the above two steps.
========================================================================
Section I: Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft
Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.
========================================================================
1. Extra Preconditions:
1.1 Set path for Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your Visual C++ 6.0 path (For example,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\)
and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0 path (For example,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\)
into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
1.2 Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
Go to c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat.
2. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools
We provide 2 options for users to build and test HDF5 libraries
and tools.
2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step
A batch file named hdf5bt.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory
is provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools
together from command line.
hdf5bt.bat has four options:
hdf5bt build and test C library and tools
hdf5bt enablecpp build and test C/C++ libraries
and tools
hdf5bt enablefortran build and test C/Fortran libraries
and tools
hdf5bt enableall build and test C/C++/Fortran
libraries and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt with
appropriate options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5_results.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt.
If all the tests passed, then you do not have to check
hdf5_results.txt. If some tests failed, check
hdf5_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.
2.2 Options B: Build and test in two steps
We also provide users with the option to build and test
HDF5 libraries and tools seperately.
Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
A batch file named hdf5build.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and
tools from command line.
hdf5build.bat has four options:
hdf5build build HDF5 C library
and tools
hdf5build enablecpp build HDF5 C/C++ libraries
and tools
hdf5build enablefortran build HDF5 C/Fortran libraries
and tools
hdf5build enableall build HDF5 C/C++/Fortran
libraries and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build with
appropriate options. Compiling outputs are saved in
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build_results.txt. You can check
the file to find out whether there are any compilation
errors.
Step 2) Test HDF5 Libraries and Tools
A batch file named hdf5check.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
directory is provided for users to test HDF5 library
and tools from command line.
hdf5check.bat has four options:
hdf5check Test HDF5 C Libraries and Tools
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
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with
appropriate options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt. If
all the tests passed, then you do not have to check
check_results.txt. If some tests failed, check
check_results.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.
3. Installing HDF5 Libraries
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install all
HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
For further information, please refer to INSTALL_WINDOWS.txt.
========================================================================
SECTION II: Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line
with Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003
========================================================================
1. Extra Preconditions:
1.1 Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003 Installed
1.2 Command-based script host (CScript.exe) installed
Cscript.exe is a command-line version of the Windows Script
Host. Users can check windows system directory to make sure
Cscript.exe installed. Cscript.exe will be used during
converting project files from MSVS 6.0 Format to Visual C++
.Net 2003 format.
1.3 Set path for Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your Visual C++ .Net path (For example,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE)
into "Variable Value" and click "OK".
1.4 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 and text files saved under
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the directories where they
will be used.
1.5 Convert project files format from MSVS 6.0 to MSVS .Net
Go to directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 and run convert_to_vcproj.bat
in the following format
convert_to_vcproj "Absolute path of directory hdf5"
For example:
convert_to_vcproj c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
The converting results will be saved into file convert.log under
the directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5. The messages should look like
Converting: c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.dsp
New Project Name: c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.vcproj
Note: all.sln was provided with HDF5-1.8.0 Release. Users don't need

Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your Visual C++ .Net path (For example,

1.2 Install ICProjConvert80 Utility and set its path
Intel provided this utility to convert a solution or project(s)
in a solution from the Visual C++ .Net project system to the
Intel C++ Compiler project system.
Users who have not install this utility, can open
IntelC++Compiler81 package, go to directory "IA32",
open Data1.zip with winzip, find ICProjConvert80.exe and
extract it to a corresponding directory. For example,
C:\Program Files\Intel\CPP\Compiler80\Ia32\Bin
Refer to 1.1 and set path for utility ICProjConvert80.
