Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5 on Command Line
for Windows XP
Instructions for Building and Testing HDF5
from Command Line on Windows XP
************************************************************************
Note: This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
line.
Currently, we only support building and testing HDF5 on command
line with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.
Currently, we support
1. Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft Visual
C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.
2. Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
Microsoft Visual C++ .Net (2003)
3. Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 integration with Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
2003.
For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in
the development environment. Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt
for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or
INSTALL_Windows_short.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation
instructions.
4. Different compiler is using different batch files on command line
to build HDF5 Libraries.
Compiler Name Batch File to Be Used
MSVS 6.0 hdf5bt.ba hdf5build.bat
MSVS .Net hdf5bt_net.bat hdf5build_net.bat
Intel C++ hdf5bt_intelc.bat hdf5build_intelc.bat
Be careful to type in the corresponding command when you choose
a procedure below to build HDF5 Libraries.

1. Extra Preconditions:
1.1 Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003 Installed
1.2 Command-based script host (CScript.exe) installed
Cscript.exe is a command-line version of the Windows Script Host. Users can
check windows system directory to make sure Cscript.exe installed. Cscript.exe
will be used during converting project files from MSVS 6.0 Format to Visual C++
.Net 2003 format.
1.3 Set path for Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
Open "System" in Control Panel.
On the "Advanced" tab, click "Environment Variables", click
"Path" in the "System variables" box, then click "Edit" and
add your Visual C++ .Net path (For example,

Go to directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 and run convert_to_vcproj.bat
convert_to_vcproj "Absolute path of directory hdf5"
For example:
convert_to_vcproj c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
The converting results will be saved into file convert.log under
the directory c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5. The messages should look like
Converting: c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.dsp

Note: all.sln was provided with HDF5-1.8.0 Release. Users don't need
to convert the workspace from MSVS 6.0 format to MSVS .Net

2. Building HDF5 C and C++ Libraries :
We provide 2 options for users to build HDF5 libraries and tools.
2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step
A batch file named hdf5bt_net.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory
is provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools
together from command line.
hdf5bt_net.bat has two options:
hdf5bt_net build and test C library and tools
hdf5bt_net enablecpp build and test C/C++ libraries
and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt_net with
appropriate options.
Test results are saved in two files:
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5_results_net.txt
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results_net.txt.
In general, you only need to check tests_results_net.txt.
If all the tests passed, then you do not have to check
hdf5_results_net.txt. If some tests failed, check
hdf5_results_net.txt can help you figure out what was wrong.
2.2 Options B: Build and test in two steps
We also provide users with the option to build and test
HDF5 libraries and tools seperately.
Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
A batch file named hdf5build_net.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5
directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and
tools from command line.
hdf5build.bat has two options:
hdf5build_net build HDF5 C library
and tools
hdf5build_net enablecpp build HDF5 C/C++ libraries
and tools
Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build_net with
appropriate options. building results will be saved in
c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build_results_net.txt. You can check
the file to find out whether there are any compilation
errors.
Step 2) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
Go to directory, run batch file hdf5check with the following
options:
hdf5check test HDF5 C library and tools
hdf5check enablecpp test HDF5 C/C++ libraries
and tools
Note: hdf5check.bat has ONLY TWO options listed above in this case.
Testing results will be saved in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results_net.txt.
There should be no failures at all.
3. Installing HDF5 Libraries
Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install all
HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
