If you use CMake to build HDF5 instead of AutoTools then the source directories are NOT touched at all. Assuming you use a different build directory.
wget http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.8.tar.bz2 tar xjvf hdf5-1.8.8.tar.bz2 mkdir hdf5-build cd hdf5-build cmake ../ Batters choice. CMake or AutoTools. ___________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson Principal Software Engineer BlueQuartz Software Dayton, Ohio [email protected] www.bluequartz.net On Feb 6, 2012, at 10:54 AM, Noah Watkins wrote: > Rhys, > > This works beautifully, thanks. > > -Noah > > On Feb 6, 2012, at 7:04 AM, Rhys Ulerich wrote: > >>> Is it possible to get access to HDF5 source that has not had autoconf >>> (etc…) ran, or alternatively, read-only access to version control? >>> >>> We would like to hack on some of the IO drivers, but the enormous amount of >>> intermediate files touched during the autotool process makes it difficult >>> to keep a clean view of our changes in version control. >> >> Use VPATH >> (http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html). >> Like most automake-based software, you can build HDF5 into a >> directory which is not the source directory. >> >> wget http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.8.tar.bz2 >> tar xjvf hdf5-1.8.8.tar.bz2 >> mkdir hdf5-build >> cd hdf5-build >> ../hdf5-1.8.8/configure >> # All build artifacts are cleanly in hdf5-build >> # All source artifacts are cleanly in hdf5-1.8.8 >> >> Hope that helps, >> Rhys >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion. >> [email protected] >> http://mail.hdfgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/hdf-forum_hdfgroup.org > > > _______________________________________________ > Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion. > [email protected] > http://mail.hdfgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/hdf-forum_hdfgroup.org _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
