Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
If we need to specify a -R flag for dynamic libraries (like, in the
case when we specify --with-hdf4), then this flag needs to be added
to the linking line so that it will show up in the generated library
and other programs linking to that library will be able to find the
relevant libraries.
Solution:
Added the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro to the link line.
Platforms tested:
Arabica
Bug Fix
Description:
The RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL macros weren't needed in the C++ stuff
and were messing up some of the testing.
Solution:
Removed them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug-ish fix
Description:
Spurious warnings would show up if libtool was trying to pass the
-LANG:std flag to the compile line.
Also, if the library is compiled with -all-static, then it would
complain about not finding dlopen and friends.
Solution:
Used the libtool -Wc,<flag> option to pass the -LANG:std flag to
the compile line.
Used ``-dlopen self'' when compiling.
Platforms tested:
Linux
