|
* Build and Install HDF5 C/C++ Library with CMake *
|
|
************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
Notes: This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly build
|
|
HDF5 library and tools from the HDF5 source code package using the
|
|
CMake tools.
|
|
|
|
More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare site,
|
|
www.cmake.org.
|
|
|
|
CMake uses the command line, however the visual CMake tool is
|
|
recommended for the configuration step. The steps are similiar for
|
|
all the operating systems supported by CMake.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1. CMake use is still experimental. While we have attempted to
|
|
provide error-free files, please understand that development
|
|
with CMake has just began. The CMake specific files may change
|
|
before the next release.
|
|
|
|
2. CMake has been introduced to support development on Windows, however
|
|
it should be usuable on any system where CMake is supported. Please
|
|
send us any comments on how CMake support can be improved on any
|
|
system.
|
|

========================================================================
|
|
Preconditions
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware
|
|
web site. The HDF5 1.8.x product requires CMake version 2.8.2.
|
|
|
|
2. If you plan to use Zlib or Szip, download the packages and install them
|
|
in a central location. For example on Windows, create a folder extlibs
|
|
and install the packages there. Windows users should also read Section V
|
|
in INSTALL_Windows.txt.
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with CMake
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Run CMake
|
|
|
|
The CMake executable is named "cmake-gui.exe" on Windows and should be
|
|
available in your Start menu. For Linux, UNIX, and Mac users the
|
|
executable is named "cmake-gui" and can be found where CMake was
|
|
installed.
|
|
Specify the source and build directories. It is recommemded that you
|
|
choose a build directory different then the source directory
|
|
(for example on Windows, if the source is at c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5, then
|
|
use c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build or c:\MyHDFstuff\build\hdf5).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONAL:
|
|
Users can perform the configuration step without using the visual cmake-gui
|
|
program. We use the file cacheinit.cmake in the config/cmake folder for
|
|
our testing. This file enables all the basic options and we turn specific
|
|
options on or off for testing using the following command line within the build
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
cmake -C <sourcepath>/config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake -G "<generator>" [-D<options>] <sourcepath>
|
|
|
|
Where <generator> is
|
|
* Borland Makefiles
|
|
* MSYS Makefiles
|
|
* MinGW Makefiles
|
|
* NMake Makefiles
|
|
* Unix Makefiles
|
|
* Visual Studio 10
|
|
* Visual Studio 10 Win64
|
|
* Visual Studio 6
|
|
* Visual Studio 7
|
|
* Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003
|
|
* Visual Studio 8 2005
|
|
* Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64
|
|
* Visual Studio 9 2008
|
|
* Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64
|
|
|
|
<options> is:
|
|
* SZIP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=<path to szip includes directory>
|
|
* SZIP_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=<path to szip/library file>
|
|
* ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=<path to szip includes directory>
|
|
* ZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=<path to szip/library file>
|
|
* <HDF5OPTION>:BOOL=[ON | OFF]
|
|
|
|
<cacheinit.cmake> is:
|
|
# This is the CMakeCache file.

|
|
|
|
2. Configure the cache settings
|
|
|
|
2.1 Click the Configure button. If this is the first time you are
|
|
running cmake-gui in this directory, you will be prompted for the
|
|
generator you wish to use (for example on Windows, Visual Studio 9 2008).
|
|
CMake will read in the CMakeLists.txt files from the source directory and
|
|
display options for the HDF5 project. After the first configure you
|
|
can adjust the cache settings and/or specify locations of other programs.
|
|
|
|
Any conflicts or new values will be highlighted by the configure
|
|
process in red. Once you are happy with all the settings and there are no
|
|
more values in red, click the Generate button to produce the appropriate
|
|
build files.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, if you are using a Visual Studio generator, the solution and
|
|
project files will be created in the build folder.
|
|
|
|
On linux, if you are using the Unix Makefiles generator, the Makefiles will
|
|
be created in the build folder.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Alternative command line example on Windows in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build directory:
|
|
|
|
cmake -C ../config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" \
|
|
-DHDF5_ENABLE_SZIP_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF -DHDF5_ENABLE_Z_LIB_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF ..
|
|
|
|
3. Build HDF5
|
|
|
|
On Windows, you can build HDF5 using either the Visual Studio Environment
|
|
or the command line. The command line is used on linux, Unix, and Mac.
|
|
|
|
To build from the command line, navigate to your build directory and
|
|
execute the following;
|
|
|
|
cmake --build . --config {Debug | Release}
|
|
|
|
NOTE: "--config {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We
|
|
recommend choosing either Debug or Release on Windows.
|
|
|
|
3.1 If you wish to use the Visual Studio environment, open the solution
|
|
file in your build directory. Be sure to select either Debug or
|
|
Release and build the solution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Test HDF5.
|
|
|
|
To test the build, navigate to your build directory and execute;
|
|
|
|
ctest . -C {Debug | Release}
|
|
|
|
NOTE: "-C {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We
|
|
recommend choosing either Debug or Release to match the build
|
|
step on Windows.
|
|
|
|
5. Packaging HDF5
|
|
|
|
To package the build into a simple installer using the NullSoft installer NSIS
|
|
on Windows, or into compressed files (.tar.gz, .sh, .zip), use the CPack tool.
|
|
|
|
To pacakage the build, navigate to your build directory and execute;
|
|
|
|
cpack -C {Debug | Release} CPackConfig.cmake
|
|
|
|
NOTE: We have just introduced the packaging capability and it has not been
|
|
extensively tested. Please send us comments on how it can be improved.
|
|
|
|
5. The files that support building HDF5 with CMake are all the files in the
|
|
config/cmake folder, the CMakeLists.txt files in each source folder, and
|
|
CTestConfig.cmake. CTestConfig.cmake is specific to the internal testing
|
|
performed by The HDF Group. It should be altered for the users
|
|
installation and needs.
|
|
|
