 There are binaries available, and they're probably fine, but the headers are not, because HDF4 / HDF5 install different headers depending on which compiler they were built with (which in itself is a bug).  Luckily, building them from source is fairly easy. There are binaries available, and they're probably fine, but the headers are not, because HDF4 / HDF5 install different headers depending on which compiler they were built with (which in itself is a bug).  Luckily, building them from source is fairly easy.
  
-**TODO:** Figure out the exact relationship between these three.  Apparently, HDF4 wants NetCDF, and NetCDF wants HDF5...+Yeah, right.  Actually, [[windows:building:hdf4|HDF4]] is a nightmare, so we've left it out.
  
 ===== NetCDF ===== ===== NetCDF =====
  
-Download the NetCDF source distribution from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ and extract it in a convenient place, then configure, build and install:+First, get the latest source (currently 4.0.1) from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ and extract it in a convenient place, then configure, build and install:
  
-  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/netcdf --disable-f90 --disable-examples +  $ LDFLAGS=-L/c/met.no/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/c/met.no/include ./configure --prefix=/c/met.no --disable-f90 --disable-examples 
-  $ make +  $ make all install 
-  $ make install+  $ cp COPYRIGHT /c/met.no/copyright/netcdf.txt
  
-As of 2009-11-20, the latest version of NetCDF is 4.0.1, but the source tarball is not versioned (although the top-level directory inside is).+<del>Note the ''%%--enable-shared%%'' part; you can leave out ''%%--disable-f90%%'' and ''%%--disable-examples%%'' if you want, but keep ''%%--enable-shared%%''.</del>
  
-**TODO:** NetCDF has a ton of options, find out exactly which ones to use.+===== HDF5 =====
  
-===== HDF4 =====+First, get the latest source (currently 1.8.3) from http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html and extract it in a convenient place.
  
-First, get the latest source from http://www.hdfgroup.org/release4/obtain.html and extract it in a convenient place, then configure, build and install:+In HDF5 1.8.3, there are several issues we need to address before we can build the library.
  
-  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/hdf +//note: the first two issues have been reported to the HDF Group and will be fixed in the next release.//
-  $ make +
-  $ make install+
  
-===== HDF5 =====+The first is a bug in ''perform/sio_engine.c'': on line 376, replace ''mkdir'' with ''HDmkdir''.
  
-First, get the latest source from http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html and extract it in a convenient place.+The second is that the test scripts use Winsock (''ws2_32.lib''), but don't link against it.  This can be fixed by running the following commands before ''configure'':
  
-In HDF5 1.8.3, there are three issues we need to address before we can build the library.+  $ echo 'libh5test_la_LIBADD=-lws2_32' >>test/Makefile.am
  
-//note: the first two issues have been reported to the HDF Group and will be fixed in the next release.//+The third is that several HDF5 libraries have a dependency on ''libhdf5'', but libtool isn't told about this.  This can be fixed in the same manner as the ''ws2_32'' issue:
  
-The first is a bug in ''perform/sio_engine.c'': on line 376, replace ''mkdir'' with ''HDmkdir''.+  $ echo 'libhdf5_cpp_la_LIBADD=$(LIBHDF5)' >>c++/src/Makefile.am 
 +  $ echo 'libhdf5_hl_la_LIBADD=$(LIBHDF5)' >>hl/src/Makefile.am 
 +  $ echo 'libhdf5_hl_cpp_la_LIBADD=$(LIBH5_HL)' >>hl/c++/src/Makefile.am 
 + 
 +Finally, HDF5's ''configure.in'' uses the ''LT_INIT'' macro, which only works with very recent versions of automake.  Edit ''configure.in'' and replace these two lines: 
 + 
 +  LT_PREREQ([2.2]) 
 +  LT_INIT([dlopen]) 
 + 
 +with this: 
 + 
 +  AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN 
 +  AM_PROG_LIBTOOL 
 + 
 +**XXX** alternative: use more recent [[windows:building:autotools|autotools]] versions, but this has repercussions for all other components
  
-The second is that the test scripts use Winsock (''ws2_32.lib''), but don't link against it.  This can be fixed by setting the ''LIBS'' environment variable to ''-lws2_32'' before running ''configure''.+Now we need to regenerate everything:
  
-This can be fixed by running the following commands before ''configure'':+  $ aclocal 
 +  $ libtoolize --copy --force 
 +  $ autoheader 
 +  $ automake --add-missing --copy --foreign 
 +  $ autoconf
  
-  $ echo libh5test_la_LIBADD=-lws2_32 >>test/Makefile.am +The fourth and final issue is that C++ support is not enabled by default.  To enable it, add ''--enable-cxx'' to the ''configure'' command line.
-  $ automake+
  
-The third and final issue is that C++ support is not enabled by default.  To enable it, add ''--enable-cxx'' to the ''configure'' command line:+Finally:
  
-  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/hdf --enable-cxx +  $ LDFLAGS=-L/c/met.no/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/c/met.no/include ./configure --prefix=/c/met.no --enable-cxx 
-  $ make +  $ make all install 
-  $ make install+  $ cp COPYING /c/met.no/copyright/hdf5.txt
  
 +**TODO** fix large file support!
