Description:
1) configure now sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH before checking for presence of
SZIP encoder, so user does not need to set this. The path is then
saved and sent to Makefiles, and used when "make check-install" is
invoked, so user doesn't need to set this manually.
2) Upgraded libtool to version 2.2.6a
3) Rearranged tools build order as h5dump depends on existence of h5diff
and h5import. Since h5dump is a sister directory as opposed to a parent
of either, it doesn't know about the build rules of these tools, so
setting any sort of explicit dependency confuses automake as it won't
know how to build the tools. Instead, setting CONFIG = ordered forces
an in-order traversal of each tools subdirectory. (without it will also
traverse in order by default, but this should prevent gmake's -j option
from jumping ahead as well). 'make check install' should now be able to
be invoked after 'configure' without causing a dependency failure.
4) Removed H5_HAVE_LARGE_HSIZET macro from vms/src/h5pubconf.h, as this macro
has now been out of the code for some time. (vms pubconf needs to be
updated manually, which is why it was still hanging around).
Tested: kagiso, smirom, liberty
Note: h5diff looks to be causing failures in h5copy and h5dump tools tests,
though these were present before any of my changes. My changes only
affect build order and configuration setup, and shouldn't prevent
fixes for these failures coming in after this checkin. Other than these,
tests pass fine.
