Introduction to HDF5

HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data. HDF5 stores two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 file. The internal structure of an HDF5 file is very similar to the filesystem hierarchy.

Dependencies

Optional

Configuration Information

The following options may be passed to the configure script:

F9X=gfortran: Specifies the FORTRAN compiler to interface with.
--enable-fortran: Compile the FORTRAN interface.
--enable-cxx: Compile the C++ interface.
--enable-linux-lfs: Enable support for large (64-bit) files on Linux.
--with-ssl=<LIB>: Use the SSL library.
--enable-parallel: Enable MPI-IO and MPI support.

Parallel Support

If building HDF5 with parallel support, you must build MPICH2 with FORTRAN enabled and use the MPI C and FORTRAN compilers to build HDF5. In this case, set the compilers as follows for both Non-Multilib and Multilib builds. Obviously you will need to replace the ${BUILD32} as appropriate. 

F9X=mpif77 CC="mpicc ${BUILD32}"

You will also need to add the --disable-cxx option in place of --enable-cxx when executing the configure script.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package: 

F9X=gfortran ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-fortran --enable-cxx &&
make

Install the package: 

make install

Install the documentation: 

make install-doc

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" F9X=gfortran \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-fortran --enable-cxx &&
make

Install the package: 

make install

N32

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" F9X=gfortran \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-fortran --enable-cxx &&
make

Install the package: 

make install

64Bit

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" F9X=gfortran \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-fortran --enable-cxx &&
make

Install the package: 

make install

Install the documentation: 

make install-doc
