has been removed. According to the official description of DESTDIR by Gnu at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html, DESTDIR is
prepended to the normal and complete install path that it precedes for the
purpose of installing in a temporary directory which is useful for building
rpms and other packages. The '/' after ${DESTDIR} will be followed by another
'/' at the beginning of the normal install path. When DESTDIR is empty the
path then begins with '//', which is incorrect and causes problems at least for
Cygwin.
The change made in config/commence.am affects many Makefile.*s when bin/reconfigure
is run. EXAMPLEDIRs had to be corrected individually.
Also the scripts to run examples after they are installed have checks added to see
that the fortran and c++ directories are present before trying to run the scripts
in them.
Tested with h5committest on amani, heiwa and jam.
Description:
The fortran Makefile.am used HDF_FORTRAN to indicate it is part of the
Fortran API source so that conclude.am will give fortran api prefix in the
test output. The symbox HDF_FORTRAN is also used in configure for a different
purpose (indicated --enable-fortran). They conflicted.
Similar problem for the symbol HDF_CXX.
Solution:
Changed all the involved Makefile.am to use "FORTRAN_API" instead. It is
a more appropriate name. Same for CXX_API.
Along the way, discovered that the Makefile.am of hl/fortran/test and
hl/cxx/test did not have those symbols at all. Added them in.
Platform tested:
Kagiso serial and h5committested (kagisopp, smirom, linew).
The examples had been depending on the build libraries in src, but should have
been depending only on the installed h5cc. Fixed this.
Tested on kagiso (dependency change only, and was unable to replicate the
problem on any system). Real test will be Daily Tests tonight.
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, copper, shanti
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Errors on sol may have been due to "make clean" being run both
manually and by automake. Removed the manual run.
Also cleaned c++/examples/ii_files directory created by some compilers
(e.g., on modi4).
Solution:
This does mean that examples directories will not be cleaned by
'make clean'.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, heping, modi4
Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fixes
Description:
A number of minor changes to Makefiles. Some files will now be cleaned
properly, some comments are more informative, etc.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4
Bug fix
Description:
Added dependencies to examples Makefiles so that examples can be run in
parallel.
Solution:
The examples directories (for C, C++, and Fortran) all have some dependencies
explicitly spelled out in their Makefiles.am. This is a good short-term
solution, and should prevent errors in the Daily Tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and sequential)
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Output tweak
Description:
Test output in C++ and Fortran directories now puts "C++ API:" or
"Fortran API:" in front of the name of the test being run.
I had overlooked the line of code that caused this to happen.
Solution:
Added HDF_CXX and HDF_FORTRAN variables to C++ and Fortran Makefiles.am.
Platforms tested:
heping (minor change)
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
