Obtaining HDF5 + The latest supported public release of HDF5 is available from + ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src. For Unix and UNIX-like + platforms, it is available in tar format compressed with gzip. + For Microsoft Windows, it is in ZIP format. + + The HDF team also makes snapshots of the source code available on + a regular basis. These snapshots are unsupported (that is, the + HDF team will not release a bug-fix on a particular snapshot; + rather any bug fixes will be rolled into the next snapshot). + Furthermore, the snapshots have only been tested on a few + machines and may not test correctly for parallel applications. + Snapshots, in a limited number of formats, can be found on THG's + development FTP server: + + ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots + + +2. Quick installation + For those who don't like to read ;-) the following steps can be used + to configure, build, test, and install the HDF5 Library, header files, + and support programs. For example, to install HDF5 version X.Y.Z at + location /usr/local/hdf5, use the following steps. + + $ gunzip < hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.gz | tar xf - + $ cd hdf5-X.Y.Z + $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 <more configure_flags> + $ make + $ make check # run test suite. + $ make install + $ make check-install # verify installation. + + Some versions of the tar command support the -z option. In such cases, + the first step above can be simplified to the following: + + $ tar zxf hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.gz + + <configure_flags> above refers to the configure flags appropriate + to your installation. For example, to install HDF5 with the + Fortran and C++ interfaces and with SZIP compression, the + configure line might read as follows: + + $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 --enable-fortran \ + --enable-cxx --with-szlib=PATH_TO_SZIP + + In this case, PATH_TO_SZIP would be replaced with the path to the + installed location of the SZIP library. + +2.1. Windows + Users of Microsoft Windows should see the INSTALL_Windows files for + detailed instructions. + +2.2. RedStorm (Cray XT3) + Users of the Red Storm machine, after reading this file, should read + the Red Storm section in the INSTALL_parallel file for specific + instructions for the Red Storm machine. The same instructions would + probably work for other Cray XT3 systems, but they have not been + verified. + + +3. HDF5 dependencies +3.1. Zlib + The HDF5 Library includes a predefined compression filter that + uses the "deflate" method for chunked datasets. If zlib-1.1.2 or + later is found, HDF5 will use it. Otherwise, HDF5's predefined + compression method will degenerate to a no-op; the compression + filter will succeed but the data will not be compressed. + +3.2. Szip (optional) + The HDF5 Library includes a predefined compression filter that + uses the extended-Rice lossless compression algorithm for chunked + datasets. For more information about Szip compression and license + terms, see http://hdfgroup.org/doc_resource/SZIP/. + + The Szip source code can be obtained from the HDF5 Download page + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html#extlibs. Building + instructions are available with the Szip source code. + + The HDF Group does not distribute separate Szip precompiled libraries, + but the HDF5 binaries available from + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html include + the Szip encoder enabled binary for the corresponding platform. + + To configure the HDF5 Library with the Szip compression filter, use + the '--with-szlib=/PATH_TO_SZIP' flag. For more information, see + section 4.3.7, "Specifying other libraries and headers." + + Please notice that if HDF5 configure cannot find a valid Szip library, + configure will not fail; in this case, the compression filter will + not be available to the applications. + + To check if Szip compression was successfully configured in, + check the "I/O filters (external):" line in the configure output, + summary section, printed to the standard output. + +3.3. MPI and MPI-IO + The parallel version of the library is built upon the foundation + provided by MPI and MPI-IO. If these libraries are not available + when HDF5 is configured, only a serial version of HDF5 can be built. + + +4. Full installation instructions for source distributions + +4.1. Unpacking the distribution + The HDF5 source code is distributed in a variety of formats which + can be unpacked with the following commands, each of which creates an + 'hdf5-X.Y.Z' directory, where X.Y.Z is the HDF5 version numbers. + +4.1.1. Non-compressed tar archive (*.tar) + + $ tar xf hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar + +4.1.2. Compressed tar archive (*.tar.Z) + + $ uncompress -c < hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.Z | tar xf - + Or + $ tar Zxf hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.Z + +4.1.3. Gzip'd tar archive (*.tar.gz) + + $ gunzip < hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.gz | tar xf - + Or + $ tar zxf hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.gz + +4.1.4. Bzip'd tar archive (*.tar.bz2) + + $ bunzip2 < hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 | tar xf - + Or + $ tar jxf hdf5-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 + +4.2. Source versus build directories + On most systems the build can occur in a directory other than the + source directory, allowing multiple concurrent builds and/or + read-only source code. In order to accomplish this, one should + create a build directory, cd into that directory, and run the + `configure' script found in the source directory (configure + details are below). For example, + $ mkdir built-fortran + $ cd build-fortran + $ ../hdf5-X.Y.Z/configure --enable-fortran ... + + Unfortunately, this does not work on recent Irix platforms (6.5? + and later) because that `make' does not understand the VPATH variable. + However, HDF5 also supports Irix `pmake' which has a .PATH target + which serves a similar purpose. Here's what the Irix man pages say + about VPATH, the facility used by HDF5 makefiles for this feature: + + The VPATH facility is a derivation of the undocumented + VPATH feature in the System V Release 3 version of make. + System V Release 4 has a new VPATH implementation, much + like the pmake(1) .PATH feature. This new feature is also + undocumented in the standard System V Release 4 manual + pages. For this reason it is not available in the IRIX + version of make. The VPATH facility should not be used + with the new parallel make option. + +4.3. Configuring + HDF5 uses the GNU autoconf system for configuration, which + detects various features of the host system and creates the + Makefiles. On most systems it should be sufficient to say: + + $ ./configure + Or + $ sh configure + + The configuration process can be controlled through environment + variables, command-line switches, and host configuration files. + For a complete list of switches type: + + $ ./configure --help + + The host configuration files are located in the `config' + directory and are based on architecture name, vendor name, and/or + operating system which are displayed near the beginning of the + `configure' output. The host config file influences the behavior + of configure by setting or augmenting shell variables. + +4.3.1. Specifying the installation directories + The default installation location is the HDF5 directory created in + the build directory. Typing `make install' will install the HDF5 + Library, header files, examples, and support programs in hdf5/lib, + hdf5/include, hdf5/doc/hdf5/examples, and hdf5/bin. To use a path + other than hdf5, specify the path with the `--prefix=PATH' switch: + + $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local + + If shared libraries are being built (the default), the final + home of the shared library must be specified with this switch + before the library and executables are built. + + HDF5 can be installed into a different location than the prefix + specified at configure time; see section 4.6, "Installing HDF5," + for more details. + +4.3.2. Using an alternate C compiler + By default, configure will look for the C compiler by trying + `gcc' and `cc'. However, if the environment variable "CC" is set + then its value is used as the C compiler. For instance, one would + use the following line to specify the native C compiler on a system + that also has the GNU gcc compiler (users of csh and derivatives + will need to prefix the commands below with `env'): + + $ CC=cc ./configure + + A parallel version of HDF5 can be built by specifying `mpicc' + as the C compiler. (The `--enable-parallel' flag documented + below is optional in this case.) Using the `mpicc' compiler + will insure that the correct MPI and MPI-IO header files and + libraries are used. + + $ CC=/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc ./configure + +4.3.3. Configuring for 64-bit support + Several machine architectures support 32-bit or 64-bit binaries. + The options below describe how to enable support for different options. + + On Irix64, the default compiler is `cc'. To use an alternate compiler, + specify it with the CC variable: + + $ CC='cc -n32' ./configure + + Similarly, users compiling on a Solaris machine and desiring to + build the distribution with 64-bit support should specify the + correct flags with the CC variable: + + $ CC='cc -m64' ./configure + + To configure AIX 64-bit support including the Fortran and C++ APIs, + (Note: need to set $AR to 'ar -X 64'.) + Serial: + $ CFLAGS=-q64 FCFLAGS=-q64 CXXFLAGS=-q64 AR='ar -X 64'\ + ./configure --enable-fortran + Parallel: (C++ not supported with parallel) + $ CFLAGS=-q64 FCFLAGS=-q64 AR='ar -X 64'\ + ./configure --enable-fortran + +4.3.4. Additional compilation flags + If addtional flags must be passed to the compilation commands, + specify those flags with the CFLAGS variable. For instance, + to enable symbolic debugging of a production version of HDF5, one + might say: + + $ CFLAGS=-g ./configure --enable-production + +4.3.5. Compiling HDF5 wrapper libraries + One can optionally build the Fortran and/or C++ interfaces to the + HDF5 C library. By default, both options are disabled. To build + them, specify `--enable-fortran' and `--enable-cxx', respectively. + + $ ./configure --enable-fortran + $ ./configure --enable-cxx + + Configuration will halt if a working Fortran 90 or 95 compiler or + C++ compiler is not found. Currently, the Fortran configure tests + for these compilers in order: f90, pgf90, f95. To use an + alternate compiler specify it with the FC variable: + + $ FC=/usr/local/bin/g95 ./configure --enable-fortran + + Note: The Fortran and C++ interfaces are not supported on all the + platforms the main HDF5 Library supports. Also, the Fortran + interface supports parallel HDF5 while the C++ interface does + not. + + Note: See sections 4.7 and 4.8 for building the Fortran library with + Intel or PGI compilers. + +4.3.6. Specifying other programs + The build system has been tuned for use with GNU make but also + works with other versions of make. If the `make' command runs a + non-GNU version but a GNU version is available under a different + name (perhaps `gmake'), then HDF5 can be configured to use it by + setting the MAKE variable. Note that whatever value is used for + MAKE must also be used as the make command when building the + library: + + $ MAKE=gmake ./configure + $ gmake + + The `AR' and `RANLIB' variables can also be set to the names of + the `ar' and `ranlib' (or `:') commands to override values + detected by configure. + + The HDF5 Library, include files, and utilities are installed + during `make install' (described below) with a BSD-compatible + install program detected automatically by configure. If none is + found, the shell script bin/install-sh is used. Configure does not + check that the install script actually works; if a bad install is + detected on your system (e.g., on the ASCI blue machine as of + March 2, 1999) you have two choices: + + 1. Copy the bin/install-sh program to your $HOME/bin + directory, name it `install', and make sure that $HOME/bin + is searched before the system bin directories. + + 2. Specify the full path name of the `install-sh' program + as the value of the INSTALL environment variable. Note: do + not use `cp' or some other program in place of install + because the HDF5 makefiles also use the install program to + change file ownership and/or access permissions. + +4.3.7. Specifying other libraries and headers + Configure searches the standard places (those places known by the + systems compiler) for include files and header files. However, + additional directories can be specified by using the CPPFLAGS + and/or LDFLAGS variables: + + $ CPPFLAGS=-I/home/robb/include \ + LDFLAGS=-L/home/robb/lib \ + ./configure + + HDF5 uses the zlib library to support the HDF5 deflate + data compression filter. Configure searches the standard places + (plus those specified above with the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables) + for the zlib headers and library. The search can be disabled by + specifying `--without-zlib' or alternate directories can be specified + with `--with-zlib=INCDIR,LIBDIR' or through the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS + variables: + + $ ./configure --with-zlib=/usr/unsup/include,/usr/unsup/lib + + $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/unsup/include \ + LDFLAGS=-L/usr/unsup/lib \ + ./configure + + HDF5 includes Szip as a predefined compression method (see 3.2). + To enable Szip compression, the HDF5 Library must be configured + and built using the Szip Library: + + $ ./configure --with-szlib=/Szip_Install_Directory + +4.3.8. Static versus shared linking + The build process will create static libraries on all systems and + shared libraries on systems that support dynamic linking to a + sufficient degree. Either form of the library may be suppressed by + saying `--disable-static' or `--disable-shared'. + + $ ./configure --disable-shared + + Shared C++ and Fortran libraries will be built if shared libraries + are enabled. + + To build only statically linked executables on platforms which + support shared libraries, use the `--enable-static-exec' flag. + + $ ./configure --enable-static-exec + +4.3.9. Optimization versus symbolic debugging + The library can be compiled to provide symbolic debugging support + so it can be debugged with gdb, dbx, ddd, etc., or it can be + compiled with various optimizations. To compile for symbolic + debugging (the default for snapshots), say `--disable-production'; + to compile with optimizations (the default for supported public + releases), say `--enable-production'. On some systems the library + can also be compiled for profiling with gprof by saying + `--enable-production=profile'. + + $ ./configure --disable-production #symbolic debugging + $ ./configure --enable-production #optimized code + $ ./configure --enable-production=profile #for use with gprof + + Regardless of whether support for symbolic debugging is enabled, + the library can also perform runtime debugging of certain packages + (such as type conversion execution times and extensive invariant + condition checking). To enable this debugging, supply a + comma-separated list of package names to to the `--enable-debug' + switch. See "Debugging HDF5 Applications" for a list of package + names: + + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.user/Debugging.html + + Debugging can be disabled by saying `--disable-debug'. + The default debugging level for snapshots is a subset of the + available packages; the default for supported releases is no + debugging (debugging can incur a significant runtime penalty). + + $ ./configure --enable-debug=s,t #debug only H5S and H5T + $ ./configure --enable-debug #debug normal packages + $ ./configure --enable-debug=all #debug all packages + $ ./configure --disable-debug #no debugging + + HDF5 can also print a trace of all API function calls, their + arguments, and the return values. To enable or disable the + ability to trace the API say `--enable-trace' (the default for + snapthots) or `--disable-trace' (the default for public releases). + The tracing must also be enabled at runtime to see any output + (see "Debugging HDF5 Applications," reference above). + +4.3.10. Parallel versus serial library + The HDF5 Library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for + parallelism on a distributed multi-processor system. Read the + file INSTALL_parallel for detailed explanations. + +4.3.11. Threadsafe capability + The HDF5 Library can be configured to be thread-safe (on a very + large scale) with the `--enable-threadsafe' flag to the configure + script. Some platforms may also require the '-with-pthread=INC,LIB' + (or '--with-pthread=DIR') flag to the configure script. + For further details, see "HDF5 Thread Safe Library": + + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/TechNotes/ThreadSafeLibrary.html + +4.3.12. Backward compatibility + The 1.8 version of the HDF5 Library can be configured to operate + identically to the v1.6 library with the + --with-default-api-version=v16 + configure flag. This allows existing code to be compiled with the + v1.8 library without requiring immediate changes to the application + source code. For addtional configuration options and other details, + see "API Compatibility Macros in HDF5": + + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/APICompatMacros.html + +4.4. Building + The library, confidence tests, and programs can be built by + saying just: + + $ make + + Note that if you have supplied some other make command via the MAKE + variable during the configuration step, that same command must be + used here. + + When using GNU make, you can add `-j -l6' to the make command to + compile in parallel on SMP machines. Do not give a number after + the `-j' since GNU make will turn it off for recursive invocations + of make. + + $ make -j -l6 + +4.5. Testing + HDF5 comes with various test suites, all of which can be run by + saying + + $ make check + + To run only the tests for the library, change to the `test' + directory before issuing the command. Similarly, tests for the + parallel aspects of the library are in `testpar' and tests for + the support programs are in `tools'. + + The `check' consists of two sub-tests, check-s and check-p, which + are for serial and parallel tests, respectively. Since serial tests + and parallel tests must be run with single and multiple processes + respectively, the two sub-tests work nicely for batch systems in + which the number of processes is fixed per batch job. One may submit + one batch job, requesting 1 process, to run all the serial tests by + "make check-s"; and submit another batch job, requesting multiple + processes, to run all the parallel tests by "make check-p". + + Temporary files will be deleted by each test when it completes, + but may continue to exist in an incomplete state if the test + fails. To prevent deletion of the files, define the HDF5_NOCLEANUP + environment variable. + + The HDF5 tests can take a long time to run on some systems. To perform + a faster (but less thorough) test, set the HDF5TestExpress environment + variable to 2 or 3 (with 3 being the shortest run). To perform a + longer test, set HDF5TestExpress to 0. 1 is the default. + +4.6. Installing HDF5 + The HDF5 Library, include files, and support programs can be + installed in a (semi-)public place by saying `make install'. The + files are installed under the directory specified with + `--prefix=DIR' (default is 'hdf5') in directories named `lib', + `include', and `bin'. The directories, if not existing, will be + created automatically, provided the mkdir command supports the -p + option. + + If `make install' fails because the install command at your site + somehow fails, you may use the install-sh that comes with the + source. You will need to run ./configure again. + + $ INSTALL="$PWD/bin/install-sh -c" ./configure ... + $ make install + + If you want to install HDF5 in a location other than the location + specified by the `--prefix=DIR' flag during configuration (or + instead of the default location, `hdf5'), you can do that + by running the deploy script: + + $ bin/deploy NEW_DIR + + This will install HDF5 in NEW_DIR. Alternately, you can do this + manually by issuing the command: + + $ make install prefix=NEW_DIR + + where NEW_DIR is the new directory where you wish to install HDF5. + If you do not use the deploy script, you should run h5redeploy in + NEW_DIR/bin directory. This utility will fix the h5cc, h5fc and + h5c++ scripts to reflect the new NEW_DIR location. + + The library can be used without installing it by pointing the + compiler at the `src' and 'src/.libs' directory for include files and + libraries. However, the minimum which must be installed to make + the library publicly available is: + + The library: + ./src/.libs/libhdf5.a + + The public header files: + ./src/H5*public.h, ./src/H5public.h + ./src/H5FD*.h except ./src/H5FDprivate.h, + ./src/H5api_adpt.h + + The main header file: + ./src/hdf5.h + + The configuration information: + ./src/H5pubconf.h + + The support programs that are useful are: + ./tools/h5ls/h5ls (list file contents) + ./tools/h5dump/h5dump (dump file contents) + ./tools/misc/h5repart (repartition file families) + ./tools/misc/h5debug (low-level file debugging) + ./tools/h5import/h5import (imports data to HDF5 file) + ./tools/h5diff/h5diff (compares two HDF5 files) + ./tools/gifconv/h52gif (HDF5 to GIF converter) + ./tools/gifconv/gif2h5 (GIF to HDF5 converter) + + +5. Using the Library + Please see the "HDF5 User's Guide" and the "HDF5 Reference Manual": + + http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/ + + Most programs will include <hdf5.h> and link with -lhdf5. + Additional libraries may also be necessary depending on whether + support for compression, etc., was compiled into the HDF5 Library. + + A summary of the HDF5 installation can be found in the + libhdf5.settings file in the same directory as the static and/or + shared HDF5 Libraries. + + +6. Support + Support is described in the README file. + + +***************************************************************************** + APPENDIX +***************************************************************************** + +A. Warnings about compilers + Output from the following compilers should be extremely suspected + when used to compile the HDF5 Library, especially if optimizations are + enabled. In all cases, HDF5 attempts to work around the compiler bugs. + +A.1. GNU (Intel platforms) + Versions before 2.8.1 have serious problems allocating registers + when functions contain operations on `long long' datatypes. + +A.2. COMPAQ/DEC + The V5.2-038 compiler (and possibly others) occasionally + generates incorrect code for memcpy() calls when optimizations + are enabled, resulting in unaligned access faults. HDF5 works + around the problem by casting the second argument to `char *'. + The Fortran module (5.4.1a) fails in compiling some Fortran + programs. Use 5.5.0 or higher. + +A.3. SGI (Irix64 6.2) + The Mongoose 7.00 compiler has serious optimization bugs and + should be upgraded to MIPSpro 7.2.1.2m. Patches are available + from SGI. + +A.4. Windows/NT + The Microsoft Win32 5.0 compiler is unable to cast unsigned long + long values to doubles. HDF5 works around this bug by first + casting to signed long long and then to double. + + A link warning: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs + appears for debug version of VC++ 6.0. This warning will not affect + building and testing HDF5 Libraries. + + +B. Large (>2GB) versus small (<2GB) file capability + In order to read or write files that could potentially be larger + than 2GB, it is necessary to use the non-ANSI `long long' data + type on some platforms. However, some compilers (e.g., GNU gcc + versions before 2.8.1 on Intel platforms) are unable to produce + correct machine code for this datatype. + + +C. Building and testing with other compilers +C.1. Building and testing with Intel compilers + When Intel compilers are used (icc or ecc), you will need to modify + the generated "libtool" program after configuration is finished. + On or around line 104 of the libtool file, there are lines which + look like: + + # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. + wl="" + + Change these lines to this: + + # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. + wl="-Wl," + + UPDATE: This is now done automatically by the configure script. + However, if you still experience a problem, you may want to check this + line in the libtool file and make sure that it has the correct value. + + * To build the Fortran library using Intel compiler on Linux 2.4, + one has to perform the following steps: + x Use the -fpp -DDEC$=DEC_ -DMS$=MS_ compiler flags to disable + DEC and MS compiler directives in source files in the fortran/src, + fortran/test, and fortran/examples directories. + E.g., setenv F9X 'ifc -fpp -DDEC$=DEC_ -DMS$=MS_' + Do not use double quotes since $ is interpreted in them. + + x If Version 6.0 of Fortran compiler is used, the build fails in + the fortran/test directory and then in the fortran/examples + directory. To proceed, edit the work.pcl files in those + directories to contain two lines: + + work.pc + ../src/work.pc + + x Do the same in the fortran/examples directory. + + x A problem with work.pc files was resolved for the newest version + of the compiler (7.0). + + * To build the Fortran library on IA32, follow the steps described + above, except that the DEC and MS compiler directives should be + removed manually or use a patch from HDF FTP server: + + ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/ + + +C.2. Building and testing with PGI compilers + When PGI C and C++ compilers are used (pgcc or pgCC), you will need to + modify the generated "libtool" program after configuration is finished. + On or around line 104 of the libtool file, there are lines which + look like this: + + # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. + wl="" + + Change these lines to this: + + # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. + wl="-Wl," + + UPDATE: This is now done automatically by the configure script. However, + if you still experience a problem, you may want to check this line in + the libtool file and make sure that it has the correct value. + + To build the HDF5 C++ Library with pgCC (version 4.0 and later), set + the environment variable CXX to "pgCC -tlocal" + setenv CXX "pgCC -tlocal" + before running the configure script. + |
