HDF5 C++ Library Build and Testing Instructions for Windows NT/98
|
|
with Microsoft Visual C++ V 6.0
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is applicable to the development version of HDF5 libraries.
|
|
|
|
Preconditions
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
1. These instructions are for users who wish to build the C and
|
|
C++ libraries. If you are interested only in the C library,
|
|
refer to INSTAll_Windows.txt or INSTAll_codewarrior.txt.
|
|
|
|
2. MicroSoft Developer Studio,Visual C++ 6.0 and WinZip must be
|
|
installed prior to building the HDF5 library.
|
|
|
|
3. Set up a directory structure to unpack the library.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
c:\ (any drive of your choice)
|
|
MyHDFstuff\ (any folder name)
|
|
|
|
4. Download the hdf5xxx distribution archive and use WinZip to
|
|
extract the hdf5 package into c:\MyHDFstuff. This creates a
|
|
directory called 'hdf5xxx' under MyHDFstuff which contains
|
|
several files and directories. Rename "hdf5xxx" to "hdf5".
|
|
|
|
5. HDF5 uses the zlib library, which is distributed with the HDF5
|
|
Windows source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building the HDF5 C and C++ libraries (both static and shared)
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack all.zip, found in the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory,
|
|
into c:\MyHDFstuff.
|
|
|
|
2. Go to the hdf5\proj\ directory and double-click on the file all.dsw.
|
|
This will invoke MS VC++.
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure that "all" is "Set as Active Project" by selecting
|
|
"Project"/"Set Active Project", or right-clicking on "all" then
|
|
selecting "Set as Active Project."
|
|
|
|
4. Select "Project"/"Dependencies", then enable the desired projects:
|
|
|
|
hdf5_cpp: to build the C++ API static library
|
|
dsets_cpp: to build the test dsets.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp
|
|
testhdf5_cpp: to build the test testhdf5.cpp, must also select hdf5_cpp
|
|
|
|
hdf5_cppdll: to build the C++ API dynamic-linked library
|
|
dsets_cppdll: to build the DLL dsets test, must also select hdf5_cppdll
|
|
testhdf5_cppdll: to build the DLL testhdf5 test, must also select
|
|
hdf5_cppdll
|
|
|
|
5. Select "Build", then select "Set Active Configuration".
|
|
|
|
"all -- Win32 Debug" to build debug versions of
|
|
single-threaded static libraries, debug multithreaded DLLs,
|
|
and tests.
|
|
|
|
"all -- Win32 Release" to build release versions of
|
|
single-threaded static libraries, multithreaded DLLs,
|
|
and tests.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: "all" is a dummy target, "all.exe" is never created.
|
|
|
|
When the debug or release build is completed, the directories
|
|
listed below will contain the following files:
|
|
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5\debug -
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5\release -
|
|
hdf5.lib- the C hdf5 static library
|
|
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\debug -
|
|
hdf5ddll.dll- the C hdf5 library
|
|
hdf5ddll.lib- the dll export library
|
|
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5dll\release -
|
|
hdf5dll.dll- the C hdf5 library
|
|
hdf5dll.lib- the dll export library
|
|
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\debug -
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5_cpp\release -
|
|
hdf5_cpp.lib- the hdf5 C++ API static library
|
|
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\debug -
|
|
hdf5_cppddll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library
|
|
hdf5_cppddll.lib- the C++ API dll export library
|
|
hdf5\proj\hdf5_cppdll\release -
|
|
hdf5_cppdll.dll- the hdf5 C++ API dll library
|
|
hdf5_cppdll.lib- the C++ API dll export library
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing libraries and tools
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. See the file INSTALL_Windows.txt (STEP 2) for instruction on
|
|
testing the C HDF5 library and non-hdf4-related tools.
|
|
|
|
2. To test C++ HDF5 Library, you first need to copy the appropriate
|
|
DLL files to the Windows system directory.
|
|
|
|
The system directory can usually be found under the path
|
|
C:\WINNT\system or C:\WINDOWS\system
|
|
|
|
You can now run hdf5cpptest.bat in the hdf5\c++\test directory
|
|
at the command prompt as below:
|
|
|
|
hdf5cpptest release
|
|
hdf5cpptest release dll
|
|
hdf5cpptest debug
|
|
hdf5cpptest debug dll
|
|
