Hi Ward

I was able to built netCDF using the latest HDF5 binaries with Cmake info that I got from here

http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html


using these 2 options

-D"CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=T:\hdf5_install_1.8.10"
-D"HDF5_ROOT_DIR=T:\hdf5_install_1.8.10\cmake\hdf5"

my next step is

1) Build using the same source distribution of HDF5, instead of the pre-compiled binaries
2) Build using a HDF5 version without Cmake information

Is it possible to to this?
I noticed that the source HDF5 files do not include this folder, that is available only in the binaries T:\hdf5_install_1.8.10\cmake\hdf5

Ideally what woulde be needed is a way for the Cmake system to find the HDF5 header files location and the name of the library hdf5.lib... that's all Visual Studio needs...
something like

-D"MY_HDF5_HEADER_FOLDER=<etc>
-D"MY_HDF5_LIBRARY_FILE=<etc>

thanks

Hi Pedro,

If your hdf5 libraries are installed in W:\hdf5_install, for example, you would specify the following argument:

-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=W:\hdf5_install

CMake would then check this location first when looking for any header and library files. The netCDF build will use the zlib library included with the hdf5 binary distribution. If you do not have this, or if it is installed elsewhere, you can specify multiple search locations thusly:

-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="W:\hdf5_install;W:\zlib_install".

I hope this helps!

Hi Ward

I tried to build in Windows with CMake, using


cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=W:\netcdf_install

I get these messages

How can I make the supplied CMake projects to detect my HDF5 and zlib locations?

Thanks

Pedro

Subject: [netcdfgroup] netCDF 4.3 Release Candidate available


Good afternoon all,

We are officially announcing the availability of the netCDF-C libraries version 4.3.0, release candidate 2.

Documentation and source downloads are available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-rc/index.jsp

Pre-built Windows binaries are available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc/winbin.html

The previous Windows-specific website, http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/win_netcdf/ will redirect to this new location. Please note that these pre-built libraries (both 32 & 64-bit) are built and tested on 64-bit Windows 7 using Visual Studio 10.

Highlights of the 4.3 release include:

o Many bug fixes.
o Improved DAP support.
o Improved parallel-netcdf support.
o Improved Windows support.
o Integration of CMake, allow for Visual-Studio based builds.

This release candidate is the precursor to either a new release candidate, or the final 4.3.0 release (depending on the number and severity of bugs reported). As always, we welcome any bug reports and/or feedback!

Have a great evening,

-Ward
Ward Fisher
