To build/install HDF5 on Unix systems from the root of the
distribution directory:
* Build the ./src/H5config.h file and Makefiles by saying:
./configure
You can say `./configure --help' to see a list of options. On
common option is to specify the prefix directory where the
libraries, header files, and programs are installed. The default
is to install them in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, and
/usr/local/bin, but you can specify some other path instead of
/usr/local by saying:
./configure --prefix=/usr
You can also override detection of certain things with
environment variables:
CC Name of the C compiler to use.
CFLAGS Alternate C compiler flags.
CPPFLAGS Alternate C preprocessor flags.
MAKE Name of the make(1) program.
For instance (assuming /bin/sh), it is common to say:
CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O3 ./configure
* Build library targets by saying:
make
If you ran configure like (assuming /bin/sh):
MAKE=gmake ./configure
then you'll want to be sure to use `gmake' also when you build
the library. If you're re-building the library after changing
some files and you're not using GNU make and gcc, then you should
say `make clean' from the top directory between each build
attempt.
* 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.
To build/install HDF5 on non-Unix systems from the root of the
distribution directory:
* To be written later.
