Subject: [Hdf-forum] HDF5 1.8.9 release candidate is available for testing


Hello everyone,

A pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.9 is available for testing and can be downloaded at the following link:

http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/

If you have some time to test this pre-release, we would greatly appreciate it.

I'm building on MS Windows, in the MSYS shell, using the mingw.org port of gcc-4.5.2.
I think the last time this approach worked for me was hdf5-1.8.6.

My (gzipped) config.log is attached.

When the 'make' process switches to the 'test' directory:

################################
Making all in test
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/comp/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/test'
 CC     h5test.lo
h5test.c: In function 'h5_fixname':
h5test.c:422:21: error: too many arguments to function 'mkdir'
c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/io.h:302:37: note: declared here
make[1]: *** [h5test.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/comp/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/test'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
################################

So, at line 422 of h5test.c, I changed:

if (HDmkdir(fullname, (mode_t)0755) < 0 && errno != EEXIST)
to
if (mkdir(fullname) < 0 && errno != EEXIST)

That allows h5test.c to compile, though I don't know what values mkdir() might return on Windows.

But then, a bit later, I get:

################################
 CC     tvlstr.o
 CC     tvltypes.o
 CCLD   testhdf5.exe
tfile.o:tfile.c:(.text+0x125ef): undefined reference to `sleep'
tfile.o:tfile.c:(.text+0x12a11): undefined reference to `sleep'
../src/.libs/libhdf5.a(H5FDstdio.o):H5FDstdio.c:(.text+0x153b): undefined reference to `ftruncate64'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [testhdf5.exe] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/comp/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/test'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
################################

So, in tfile.c, I tried including Windows.h, and replaced both occurrences of HDsleep(2) with Sleep(2000). But that prevents tfile.c from even compiling:

################################
Making all in test
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/comp/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/test'
 CC     tfile.o
tfile.c: In function 'test_obj_count_and_id':
tfile.c:1150:34: error: called object '0' is not a function
tfile.c:1156:34: error: called object '0' is not a function
tfile.c:1164:30: error: called object '0' is not a function
make[1]: *** [tfile.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/comp/hdf5-1.8.9-pre1/test'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
################################

At that point, I'm currently stumped.
Plus ... I haven't even looked at what needs to be done wrt the undefined reference to `ftruncate64' .

I subsequently ran 'make -i' and the undefined reference to ftruncate64 recurred continually - though I still end up with a libhdf5_hl.a and a libhdf5.a. (I expect that both of those libraries are quite serviceable, too, as they both built without error.)

Any thoughts or advice ?

Cheers,
Rob
