1.Obtaining HDF5
|
|
Please see INSTALL file in this directory for downloading instructions.
|
|
|
|
2. Building C, Fortran and C++ libraries
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: This version REQUIRES GNU ZLIB librarary to be installed
|
|
on a system. You may download the source code from
|
|
http://www.zlib.net/
|
|
|
|
- Use tar command to untar HDF5 source ball
|
|
|
|
tar -xvf hdf5-1.8.0-<pre>.tar
|
|
|
|
- Change default directory to [.hdf5-1.8.0-<pre>.vms]
|
|
- Modify make.com file to point to the installed ZLIB library.
|
|
- Run
|
|
@make
|
|
command. This command file will build
|
|
C library, tests, and utilities
|
|
Fortran library and tests
|
|
C++ library and tests
|
|
C, Fortran and C++ examples
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Compilations flags are defined in the [.vms]make.com file of the
|
|
source tree. It is set up to use /float=float_ieee qualifier for C, Fortran
|
|
and C++ compilersi, and debug mode. If desired, those flags can be removed.
|
|
Do NOT REMOVE /define=H5_VMS and /standard=strict_ansi qualifiers.
|
|
If you have to use make.com file in a particular directory, make sure that
|
|
you modify the compilation flags in this file appropriately.
|
|
|
|
If make.com succeeds, the following libraries and utilties will be built:
|
|
|
|
[.src]hdf5.olb
|
|
[.fortran.src]hdf5_fortran.olb
|
|
[.c__.src]hdf5_cplus.olb
|
|
[.tools.h5diff]h5diff.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5dump]h5dump.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5import]h5import.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5jam]h5jam.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5jam]h5unjam.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5ls]h5ls.exe
|
|
[.tools.h5repack]h5repack.exe
|
|
|
|
3. Testing HDF5 libraries and tools
|
|
You may try to run check.com files in the following directories
|
|
|
|
[.test]
|
|
[.fortran.test]
|
|
[.c__.test]
|
|
[.examples]
|
|
[.fortran.examples]
|
|
[.c__.examples]
|
|
|
|
4. Installing HDF5 libraries
|
|
Currently one has to manually copy *.olb, public *.h (all header
|
|
files that do not have "private" in file name) iheader files and
|
|
Fortran modules files from
|
|
[.src], [.fortran.src] and [.c__.src] directories
|
|
|
|
5. Known problems
|
|
|
|
- dsets test fails for test_scleoffset_double and
|
|
test_scleoffset_double_2 tests when G_FLOAT double is used
|
|
06/01/2006 EIP
|
|
- There is no support for szip compression filter.
|
|
- There are few C and Fortran tests that fail (C mtime, Fortran file_close and
|
|
multifile driver tests, probably more; all major tests succeed).
|
|
- Mulitifile driver has not been tested yet.
|
|
- Test scripts for some tools are missing; existing tools test scripts
|
|
do not compare output with the expected output.
|
|
- Probably more :-)
