* Build and Test HDF5 Examples with CMake *
|
|
************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
Notes: This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly build
|
|
HDF5 Examples using the HDF5 binary 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
|
|
available for the configuration step. The steps are similar for
|
|
all of the operating systems supported by CMake.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1. Using CMake for building and using HDF5 is under active
|
|
development. While we have attempted to provide error-free
|
|
files, please understand that development with CMake has not
|
|
been extensively tested outside of HDF. The CMake specific
|
|
files may change before the next release.
|
|
|
|
2. CMake for HDF5 development should be usable on any system
|
|
where CMake is supported. Please send us any comments on how
|
|
CMake support can be improved on any system.
|
|
|

========================================================================
|
|
I. Preconditions
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware
|
|
web site. The HDF5 product requires a minimum CMake version
|
|
of 3.18.
|
|
|
|
2. You have installed the HDF5 library built with CMake, by executing
|
|
the HDF Install Utility (the *.msi file in the binary package for
|
|
Windows or the *.sh on Linux). If you are using a Windows platform,
|
|
you can obtain a pre-built Windows binary from The HDF Group's website
|
|
at www.hdfgroup.org.
|
|
|
|
3. Set the environment variable HDF5_DIR to the installed location of
|
|
the config files for HDF5. On Windows:
|
|
HDF5_ROOT=C:/Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.y.x/1
|
|
|
|
(Note there are no quote characters used on Windows and all platforms
|
|
use forward slashes)
|
|
|
|
4. Create separate source and build directories.
|
|
(CMake commands are executed in the build directory)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
II. Building HDF5 Examples with CMake
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
Go through these steps to build HDF5 applications with CMake.
|
|
|
|
1. Run CMake
|
|
2. Configure the cache settings
|
|
3. Build HDF5 Examples
|
|
4. Test HDF5 Examples.
|
|
|
|
These steps are described in more detail below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Run CMake
|
|
|
|
The visual 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. Make the build and source
|
|
directories different. For example on Windows, if the source is at
|
|
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5ex, then use c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5ex\build or
|
|
c:\MyHDFstuff\build\hdf5ex for the build directory.
|
|
|
|
PREFERRED:
|
|
Users can perform the configuration step without using the visual
|
|
cmake-gui program. The following is an example command line
|
|
configuration step executed within the build directory:
|
|
|
|
cmake -G "<generator>" [-D<options>] <sourcepath>
|
|
|
|
Where <generator> is
|
|
* Borland Makefiles
|
|
* MSYS Makefiles
|
|
* MinGW Makefiles
|
|
* NMake Makefiles
|
|
* Unix Makefiles
|
|
* Visual Studio 15 2017
|
|
* Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64
|
|
* Visual Studio 16 2019
|
|
* Visual Studio 17 2022
|
|
|
|
|
|
<options> is:
|
|
* H5EX_BUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON
|
|
* BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=[ON | OFF]
|
|
* HDF_BUILD_FORTRAN:BOOL=[ON | OFF]
|
|
* HDF_BUILD_JAVA:BOOL=[ON | OFF]
|
|
|
|
if the hdf5 library was built with a namespace (i.e. "hdf5::") add:
|
|
-D HDF5_NAMESPACE:STRING=hdf5::
|
|
|
|
2. Configure the cache settings
|
|
|
|
2.1 Visual CMake users, 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 15).
|
|
CMake will read in the CMakeLists.txt files from the source directory and
|
|
display options for the HDF5 Examples 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\hdf5ex\build directory:
|
|
|
|
cmake -G "Visual Studio 19" -DH5EX_BUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON ..
|
|
|
|
3. Build HDF5 examples
|
|
|
|
On Windows, you can build HDF5 examples using either the Visual Studio Environment
|
|
or the command line. The command line is normally 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. If you are
|
|
using the pre-built binaries from HDF, use Release.
|
|
|
|
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 Examples.
|
|
|
|
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. The files that support building with CMake are all of 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 user's
|
|
installation and needs. The cacheinit.cmake file settings are used by
|
|
The HDF Group for daily testing. It should be altered/ignored for the user's
|
|
installation and needs.
|

|
========================================================================
|
|
III. Using HDF5 Libraries with Visual Studio 2008 (no longer supported)
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Set up path for external libraries and headers
|
|
|
|
Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio and go to "Tools" and select "Options",
|
|
find "Projects", and then "VC++ Directories".
|
|
|
|
1.1 If you are building on 64-bit Windows, find the "Platform" dropdown
|
|
and select "x64".
|
|
|
|
1.2 Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Include files", add the
|
|
header path (i.e. c:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\hdf5-1.8.x\include)
|
|
to the included directories.
|
|
|
|
1.3 Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files", add the
|
|
library path (i.e. c:\Program Files\HDF Group\HDF5\hdf5-1.8.x\lib)
|
|
to the library directories.
|
|
|
|
1.4 If using Fortran libraries, you will also need to setup the path
|
|
for the Intel Fortran compiler.
