Description:
Somehow, the ttsafedll project was setup to build by default in Visual Studio .NET project files. This causes build errors when the HDF5_EXT_PTHREAD variable isn't defined or the pthreads library path isn't setup. It should be disabled by default.
Tested:
VS.NET 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
