*********************************************************************** * HDF5 Build and Install Instructions for Windows * * (Full Version) * *********************************************************************** We now recommend that users build, test and install HDF5 using CMake. Instructions for building and testing HDF5 using CMake can be found in the INSTALL_CMake.txt file found in this folder. For instructions of building and testing an application with HDF5, see USING_HDF5_CMake.txt file found in this folder. Users who want to build and run an application with HDF5 in Visual Studio without using CMake should consult the USING_HDF5_VS.txt file. Building applications with the dynamic/shared hdf5 libraries requires that the "H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB" compile definition be used.
