Hello!
So far I have managed to build HDF5 library with statically-linked C
runtime by specifying
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="/MT /O2 /Ob2 /D NDEBUG" hdf5-1.8.13
followed by
cmake --build . --config Release
However, if I tell cmake to include zlib support (e.g.
HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT=SVN), CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE doesn't
propagate to zlib build configuration. Also, I couldn't find out so far
how to link zlib statically. CMake experts help really appreciated.
----
While experimenting with different build options, I've found out the
following (minor) problems in HDF5 build files:
1) Line 20 in CMakeFilters.cmake should be changed from
option (HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT "Allow External Library Building (NO
SVN TGZ)" "NO")
to
set (HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT "NO" CACHE STRING "Allow External
Library Building (NO SVN TGZ)")
SET_PROPERTY(CACHE HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT PROPERTY STRINGS NO SVN TGZ)
because HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT is a tri-value, not a boolean. It
fixes configuration display in cmake-gui.
2) Currently, HDF5 cannot be built under MinGW because _In_ is not
defined under MinGW (H5.c, line 857). Quick workaround is to remove the
"_In_"s.
It is proposed to conditionally #define _In_ to no-op if it's not #defined.
Best wishes,
Andrey Paramonov
