Convert configure.in to configure.ac.
Align TESTS usage with autotools convention.
Update all references from configure.in to configure.ac
Tested: h5committest
Merge from Trunk
Description:
Merging all of my CFLAGS-related changes from trunk to 1.8
This includes revision #s: 17616, 17625, 17627, 17639, and 17643.
Tested:
h5committest and some additional checks on our FreeBSD as well
as NCSA's machines.
Merge from trunk
Description:
Merged revisions 17228 and 17440 from trunk to 1.8
Specifically, this brings support of --enable-static-exec flag into 1.8
Tested:
Manually on jam, linew, smirom, liberty, plus h5committest.
Currently, there is no automatic regression test that exists due to
portability issues. Behavior is both different and undefined on certain
systems (and while 'nm' command seems to exist on all machines, behavior
is confirmed to be different on Mac, possibly others). Solution will be
to set up some sort of framework in daily tests to build statically,
remove shared paths, and verify executables can function.
Purpose: Configure Fix
Description: The test program h52gifgentst was getting installed in the bin
directory during 'make install', and it shouldn't. Make now builds
the program for use in testing but doesn't install it during
'make install'.
Tested: kagiso
bug fixes
substituted hize_t array index variables for int
stack corruption in the h52gif reading routine, wrote a new routine
shell script for gif tests, added check of program return value
enabled the gif test script
tested: linux pgcc, solaris, linux 64
New feature
Add a tests script for h52gif tool. A simple script that just runs the
tool from a pre-saved HDF5 file and produces a gif file. A HDF5 test
generator program is also added
Note: the .am file needs further development, right now it is not
producing the test
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
bug fix
Description:
the --disable-hl switch was causing linking errors on gif2h5 that uses image api (bugzilla #1)
Solution:
used the condional macro for hl to build gif2h5
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the linking order in Makefile.am of the gif2h5 tool was causing linking errors on some configurations (pgcc, --disable-shared)
Solution:
changed the order of the linking (hl before hdf5)
Platforms tested:
linux, several configurations
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix , bugzilla bug #1
Description:
the gif2h5 was not writing HDF5 images correctly
Solution:
use the Image API to write the image, rewrote the writing functionY
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Libraries were listed in the wrong order in tools/gifconv Makefile.am, confusing
the linker.
Solution:
Put HDF5 library after tools library in Makefile.am and ran reconfigure.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
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
