I just tried to compile HDF5 1.8.11 with Visual Studio 9 using CMake. I need to link the library statically, thus I need to use the flag /MT for the C compiler, however, I can't find a way to do it. I tried this:
1. Create build\ subdirectory and change into it 2. Call cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DHDF5_BUILD_TOOLS:BOOL=ON .. 3. Load file CMakeCache.txt and replace all occurrences of "/MD" by "/MT". for example I replace the line CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING=/MD /O2 /Ob2 /D NDEBUG with CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING=/MT /O2 /Ob2 /D NDEBUG 4. Call cmake --build . --config Release The build still uses /MD as I can see e.g. in /build/src/hdf5.dir/Release/BuildLog.htm where these flags are listed: /O2 /Ob2 /I "C:\JHDF5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11\build" /I "C:\JHDF5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11\src" /I "C:\JHDF5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11\build\bin" /I "C:\JHDF5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11" /D "WIN32" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "NDEBUG" /D "BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION=1" /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "CMAKE_INTDIR=\"Release\"" /D "_MBCS" /FD /MD /Fo"hdf5.dir\Release\\" /Fd"C:\JHDF5\hdf5\hdf5-1.8.11\build\bin\Release/libhdf5.pdb" /W3 /c /TC /Zm1000 How do I make the compiler actually use the flag /MT?
