Hello Albert, The legacy Windows build scripts (subdirectory windows\) seem to be missing in hdf5-1.8.11-pre1.tar.gz. When I copy this directory over from hdf5-1.8.10-patch1.tar.bz2 and compile with VisualStudio 2008 on Windows XP (32bit), then I get the following fatal errors:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error 113 error C2054: expected '(' to follow 'H5PLUGIN_DLL' c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 76 hdf5 Error 114 error C2085: 'H5PLget_plugin_type' : not in formal parameter list c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 76 hdf5 Error 115 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'H5PLUGIN_DLL' c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 77 hdf5 Error 123 error C2054: expected '(' to follow 'H5PLUGIN_DLL' c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 76 hdf5 Error 124 error C2085: 'H5PLget_plugin_type' : not in formal parameter list c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 76 hdf5 Error 125 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'H5PLUGIN_DLL' c:\jhdf5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\src\H5PLextern.h 77 hdf5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any idea what I need to do in order to fix those errors?
