Added and updated instructions for Red Storm serial and parallel build.
RELEASE.txt:
Added Red Storm information. Also, rearranged order of entries according
to more recent first.
Description: Removing make target 'make check-perform'. The extra target is
unneeded because the tests don't take as long to run as initially
anticipated, and can be lumped in with 'make check'.
Tested: kagiso
Description: The configure option --disable-sharedlib-rpath will disable
embedding of the '-Wl,-rpath' information into executables
when shared libraries are produced.
Tested: kagiso
Description:
-- INSTALL_Windows.txt:
-- Update szip version number to 2.1
-- Extra details for setting up 64-bit builds
-- Explain adding HDF5 link settings more clearly
-- Add link to FAQ
-- Misc. typos and formatting
-- INSTALL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt
-- Add note about 64-bit support
-- INSTALL_Windows_Short_NET.TXT
-- Add notes detailing features unsupported on VS.NET
-- INSTALL_Windows_Short_VS2005.TXT
-- Add notes about extra features.
Description:
Small changes, such as commenting out an additional test and fixing the search path, have been added to the MinGW install instructions.
Tested:
MinGW on WinXP
Description: Tests in perform directory were never getting run, and
h5perf* programs were not being installed.
Solution: Added another build option, 'make check-perform', which runs the
tests in the perform directory. Also modified the Makefiles in the
perform directory to install (with 'make install') h5perf when
parallel is enabled, and h5perf and h5perf_serial when parallel is
disabled
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew
Usage is
-m T, --format=T
Where T - is a string containing the floating point format, e.g '%.3f'
The test consists of writing a number with 7 fractional digits (default precision display of %f is 6 digits) and have the 7 digits displayed with
-m %.7f fpformat.h5
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Note: the output file was generated in linux, it may be possible that platforms other than the ones tested have a different representation of the number
Description: added new autotool version information (updated libtool from
1.5.22 to 2.2.2 and automake from 1.10 to 1.10.1) to RELEASE.txt
Tested: none needed, documentation update only
Fix bug which would incorrectly encode the member offsets for compound
datatypes whose size was between 256 & 511 bytes, when the "use the latest
format" feature was enabled.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.2 (amazon) w/debug
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty) w/production
Minor bug fix to H5Aget_num_attrs() to return error when an invalid
location ID is passed in.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 (amazon)
Too minor to require h5committest
Description:
The Windows suite of examples for HL C was a very small subset of the examples that exist for other platforms. Now we have all of the HL C examples-- integrated into the VS projects files, and batch test scripts.
Description:
Basically, remove the "hack" that we documented because we have a better fix now. With the latest changes, configure will avoid the cygwin bug, and no neccessary steps need to be taken by the user.
Update.
What is done:
Moved the following three paragraphs to the Appendix part since they have old
information that are not relevant most recent machines or compilers.
"Large (>2GB) versus small (<2GB) file capability",
"Building and testing with Intel compilers"
"Building and testing with PGI compilers"
Tested:
eyeballed.
Updated section 4 for v1.8 release.
(May still check the v1.6 INSTALL to see if something can be adopted from
there. But this is good for v1.8 release.)
Tested:
Just eyeballed.
Updated for v1.8 release. (Not completed yet.)
Changes:
Moved the section 2. "Warnings about compilers" to Appendix A; renumbered
section 3-7 to section 2-6 and fixed all section references.
Updated Website names from ncsa.uiuc.edu to hdfgroup.org or hdfgroup.uiuc.edu.
Updated section 1-3 and some of section 4.
Tested:
Eyeball.
Description:
We've run into a bug that was introduced in the latest version of Cygwin, that breaks C99 code using the 'timezone' global variable. As a workaround, we use the -ansi flag, which makes everything compile/link/test correctly
Tested: Cygwin on WinXP
Description:
Wrote documentation on how to use the 1.6 API for a user application-- this replaces the outdated documentation we previously had.
Tested: VS2005 with HDFEOS5
