Instructions for the Installation of H5check Software
=====================================================
========
Build:
========
Assuming gcc, gmake and h5cc are in your $PATH, just do
% ./configure
% gmake
The default compiler and HDF5 library compiler are set to gcc and h5cc.
If you want to use a different C compiler and/or h5cc command, do
% gmake CC=gcc H5CC=$mypath/h5cc
To set different compiler flags use CFLAGS variable, e.g.
% env CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure
This command will set the compiling to "gcc -O2".
============
Run tests:
============
To run the test suite,
% gmake check
==========
Install:
==========
To install the tool and the library
% gmake install
These go to h5check/{bin,lib} of the built directory by default. If you want
to install it somewhere else like /usr/software/{bin,lib},
% gmake prefix=/usr/software install
=======
Notes:
=======
If the h5check executable cannot handle files larger than 2GB, check for
a solution in the known problems section of the file RELEASE.txt.
