Description:
Many new source files were added from the freespace branch. This checkin adds the code to Windows as well.
Note: Some tests are still failing on Windows, but this checkin brings us closer to fixing them. In particular, freespace test fails on compile (Quincey is working on it), and the DLL links test fails at runtime (I'll look into it)
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
The projects testhdf5_1_8fortran[dll] which test the new fortran features in HDF5 1.8 were not registered as dependencies to the "all_fortran" pseudo-project. As a result, the projects would not be built if you simply build all_fortran in Visual Studio, rather than "Build Solution". This is a very minor cleanup, but is neccessary to be consistent in our projects.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP x64
Description:
On Windows, we receive many compiler warnings because Microsoft has implemented many "security-enhanced" versions of POSIX functions. However, the old versions still exist, so the warnings can be ignored. By setting a preprocessor definition, we can disable many of these warnings. On a typical HDF5 build, this reduces the number of warnings from ~1500 to ~600
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
There were a number of small tweaks we needed to make to add the new fortran_1_8 code on Windows. We create new project files, add new source to them, add the test to our test suite, and fix a few typos in the Windows-specific source code.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
Previously, our Windows projects for HL Fortran examples were using outdated library names for our cstub code. As a result, they wouldn't build correctly. This checkin brings them up-to-date.
Also, add hdf5_hl.lib as a dependency to hdf5_hl_fortran.lib. This goes un-noticed when building the complete VS solution, but should be required when only building hdf5_hl_fortran.lib
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
The ohdr_gentst project exists in order to re-create test input files that are distributed with the source. These projects aren't built by default on most platforms, and the source isn't distributed in release builds. To avoid confusion and bloat, we remove the Windows version of this project.
Tested:
None, only removed
Description:
The ohdr_gentst project exists to dynamically generate the test files for ohdr test, which also exist in the repository. The test is only run on other platforms when the configure flag --enable-build-all is specified. Moreover, the source code ohdr_gentst.c is marked as _DO_NO_DISTRIBUTE_ in the MANIFEST.
As a result, there was a problem in the release tarball that the Windows projects would fail when trying to build this project. To correct this, we no longer build this by default. We will also need to release a FAQ/patch for the HDF5 1.8.0 release.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
Add hdf5 library as a dependency to hdf5_hl library in Windows project files
For some reason, the hdf5_hl library didn't have hdf5 listed as a dependency. This isn't normally a problem, because building "all" will build hdf5 library. However, when a user tries to build only hdf5_hl, hdf5 library wouldn't be built.
Although not technically required for compiling the library code, the hdf5 library is needed for linking any applications, so it's a natural dependency.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
VNET on WinXP
Description:
Previously, we provided a static h5tinit.c with our Windows distribution, and provided instructions to optionally generate it. Now, we will incorporate it as part of the default build process, to emulate other platforms more closely.
Tested:
VS6
VS2005
Description:
Add toolslib(dll) as a dependency to h5import(dll), to support the new -V flag. This needed to be done in each of our 3 solution files.
Tested:
Only built, VS2005 and VS6
Description:
This checkin is another Windows project cleanup, and also extends our Windows support for 64-bit Fortran. Project files are now in VS2005 format, rather than VS.NET. A couple projects have been renamed to be more descriptive (*cstub rather than *_lib), and project settings make better use of build macros. This will make them much easier to update in the future.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP 32-bit
VS2005 on WinXP x64
Desciption:
This is the first major check-in in the process of depreciating Visual Studio 6.0. We create a new directory, windows_vs6, which now holds all of our previous VS6 project files. We expect to maintain this directory for only a short time (perhaps one release), so users have time to make the change.
The ./windows directory now contains project files for Visual Studio .Net, as well as existing source and test scripts. This will allow us to greatly simplify the build process for the majority of our users.
We have created a new solution (.Net equivolent of workspace) that houses the Fortran project files. This allowed us to remove these files from the main solution, as well as streamline the conversion in the Fortran solution. It is also much easier now to convert to Visual Studio 2005 files.
Notes:
I didn't update the MANIFEST with this check-in, I will make those changes shortly.
Also, I haven't yet updated the documentation to reflect this check-in. That is going to require more work.
We will be giving a seminar in the coming weeks about .Net and how to migrate over.
Tested:
VS6/VNET/VS2005 on WinXP 32/64-bit
