Robb Matzke ea3624e133 [svn-r1115] Changes since 19990302
----------------------

./INSTALL
./configure.in
./configure		[REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in	[REGENERATED]
	Improvements for parallel library.  If you have a properly
	working mpicc you should be able to just say:

	    $ CC=mpicc ./configure

	and you will see

	    checking for mpirun... /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun
	    checking for parallel support files... skipped
	    checking how to run on one processor...
		     /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1
	    checking how to run in parallel...
		     /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np $$NPROCS

	To quote from the INSTALL file....

	*** Parallel vs. serial library
	The HDF5 library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for
	parallelizm on a distributed multi-processor system. The easy
	way to do this is to have a properly installed parallel
	compiler (e.g., MPICH's mpicc or IBM's mpcc) and supply that
	executable as the value of the CC environment variable:
	[NOTE: mpcc is not tested yet]

	    $ CC=mpcc ./configure
	    $ CC=/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc ./configure

	If no such wrapper script is available then you must specify
	your normal C compiler along with the distribution of
	MPI/MPI-IO which is to be used (values other than `mpich' will
	be added at a later date):

	    $ ./configure --enable-parallel=mpich

	If the MPI/MPI-IO include files and/or libraries cannot be
	found by the compiler then their directories must be given as
	arguments to CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS:

	    $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/mpi/include \
	      LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/mpi/lib/LINUX/ch_p4 \
	      ./configure --enable-parallel=mpich

	If a parallel library is being built then configure attempts
	to determine how to run a parallel application on one
	processor and on many processors.  If the compiler is mpicc
	and the user hasn't specified values for RUNSERIAL and
	RUNPARALLEL then configure chooses `mpirun' from the same
	directory as `mpicc':

	    RUNSERIAL:    /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1
	    RUNPARALLEL:  /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np $${NPROCS:=2}

	The `$${NPROCS:=2}' will be substituted with the value of the
	NPROCS environment variable at the time `make check' is run
	(or the value 2).

./testpar/Makefile.in
	Saying `make check' (or `make test') will run the tests on two
	processors by default.  If you define NPROCS then that many
	processors are used instead:

	    $ NPROCS=4 make check

./configure.in
	Fixed (hopefully) bugs with detecting whether __attribute__
	and __FUNCTION__ are special keywords for the compiler.

./Makefile.in
	Saying `make install' from the top level directory shows
	instructions for using shared libraries.

./config/commence.in
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
./testpar/Makefile.in
./tools/Makefile.in
	Moved the @top_srcdir@ into the makefiles because it was
	expanded too early and had the wrong value.

./INSTALL
	Added a warning that if the wrong version of hdf4 tools are
	installed then `make check' will fail in the tools directory.

RELEASE [svn-r1073] Updated with recent changes. 1999-02-17 09:11:52 -05:00

This is hdf5-1.1.55 released on Tue Mar  2 12:26:18 CST 1999
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library.  The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library.  The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.

Documentation for this release is in the html directory.  Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.

Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.

   hdf5         - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
		  other users.

   hdf5dev      - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
		  with developers and other interested parties.

   hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
		  not a discussion list.

   hdf5cvs      - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
		  not a discussion list.

To subscribe to a list, send mail to "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
(e.g., hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu) with "subscribe <your e-mail
address> in the _body_ of the message.  Messages to be sent to
the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".

Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
    ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.

The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/

Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
