 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 =====

-First, get the latest source (currently 4.2r4) 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 LDFLAGS=-no-undefined all install
-**TODO:** check configure options
+The first is a bug in ''perform/sio_engine.c'': on line 376, replace ''mkdir'' with ''HDmkdir''.
-===== HDF5 =====
+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'':
-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.
+  $ echo 'libh5test_la_LIBADD=-lws2_32' >>test/Makefile.am
-In HDF5 1.8.3, there are three issues we need to address before we can build the library.
+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:
-//note: the first two issues have been reported to the HDF Group and will be fixed in the next release.//
+  $ 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
-The first is a bug in ''perform/sio_engine.c'': on line 376, replace ''mkdir'' with ''HDmkdir''.
+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!
