Hi Mike
I guess from a "Recent Files" point of view from within Visual Studio all
those show up as "HDF5.sln" which may not be big help.
exactly, they all show up as "HDF5.sln" and then I don't know which is which
but no big deal, I can always rename the solution after being generated by
Cmake

Subject: Re: [Hdf-forum] HDF5 1.8.11 release candidate is available
fortesting -- HighLevel library missing
actually for #2 below the HDF5 devs _could_ do this but it might be fairly
Tedious to do it. The first line of the very top level CMakeLists.txt file
should have a line like:
project(HDF5)
It would have to be constantly updated to
project(HDF5-1.8.10.pre.foo.1.whatever) and I am not sure what that really
buys the developer?
Typically I have several versions of HDF5 being compiled but I have them
all in separate folders in my workspace. I guess from a "Recent Files"
point of view from within Visual Studio all those show up as "HDF5.sln"
which may not be big help.
There are also other IDEs and environments that depend on having a
"stable" project name. Imagine the following:
I have using the latest Git version of HDF5. I checkout out the code and
generate my solutions. Then HDF5 devs increment the version number for the
"project()" command. If I am NOT recognizing that this is going on I am
going to end up using an out of date solution file because the next time
CMake runs it will generate a whole NEW solution file with the new version
number but I'll still be using the older solution which would cause all
sorts of problems.
So it is best to just leave it the way it is.
Thanks

Hi Pedro,
Thank you for your feedback.
I think you are on a Windows system but could you give more details like
OS versions, platform specifics (32, 64 bits,... ), compilers, ...
I will check with our Cmake person of your suggestions.
A question about your suggestion 2. Wouldn't it be better
to use folder names to specify different versions? E.g.,
...\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\HDF5.sln
...\hdf5-1.8.10\HDF5.sln

Hi Albert
I tried the CMake build with
T:\hdf5-1.8.11-pre1\build>cmake ..
and unlike the previous hdf5-1.8.10 reported errors, no errors this
time,
However, the High-level library is not included in the build.
The netCDF build requires the Dimension Scales library, so this is a
must for netCDF users.
1) Would it be possible to have a CMake build for the High-level library
?
2) I have a suggestion, if you could name the CMake generated Visual
Studio solution with the HDF5 release version name, like
hdf5-1.8.11-pre1.sln
instead of
HDF5.sln
This is helpful for anyone that uses several versions
Thanks

Subject: [Hdf-forum] HDF5 1.8.11 release candidate is available for
testing
Hello everyone,
A pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.11 is available for testing
and can be downloaded at the following link:
http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.11/hdf5-1.8.11-pre1.tar.gz
If you have some time to test this pre-release, we would greatly
appreciate it. We try to test on a wide variety of platforms and
environments but are unable to test everywhere so feedback from the
user community is always welcome.
Please note that while the release notes contained in the pre-release
are reflective of the changes and additions present in this release,
the 'platforms tested' and 'tested configurations' sections have yet to
be updated for this version of HDF5.
We plan to release HDF5 1.8.11 in mid-May barring the discovery of any
critical issues.
Thank you!
The HDF Group
