Description:
Explain why Fortran isn't supported on MinGW and give users an "unsupported" alternative. Also re-worked the main documentation to clarify using the HDF5 DLL libraries.
Tested:
None needed.
Description:
This makes major updates to the Windows installation documentation, to account for the switch from VS6 to .NET. Installation instructions for 6.0 can also be found in INSTALL_Windows_Short_MSVS6.0.TXT, although it's noted that we are phasing out our VS6 support.
Also added install instrctions for MinGW, to reflect our initial support. Updated MANIFEST for new file checkin.
Tested:
Instructions for each configuration have been tested.
Description:
Updated RELEASE.txt to reflect support for 64-bit Windows. Also updated the testing table, and removed some old Windows-related issues that are no longer present.
No testing needed.
I've also updated our Windows documentation file to include 64-bit instructions. The process is fairly tedious right now, but we hope to make it more straight-forward when we depreciate 6.0 and re-work our project files.
Tested:
32-bit WinXP: VS6, VS.NET, and VS 2005
64-bit WinXP: VS.NET and VS 2005
Change back to clearing memory buffers by default, but give users option
to disable this, for performance reasons (--disable-clear-file-buffers).
Also, add configure option (--enable-using-memchecker) to conveniently
control making the library "play nice" with memory checking tools like valgrind
and purify.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso)
