Build Errors...

John_D_Marinuzzi1 · February 21, 2008, 6:08pm

Hello All,

I just downloaded HDF5 1.8 and went through the INSTALL_Windows.txt file to
get started. I get through to Install section 4.1 (Using Visual Studio
2005) and get 300 + build errors. Out of curiosity I checked to see if some
of the files actual got built. HDf5d.lib does, but HDFd5dll.lib does not.
Upon attempting to build just that project, the error I get is "fatal error
LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'." Any suggestions as to why this
happens, or to fix it?

Thanks,

John

Hi

check if the property "runtime library" under C/C++/code generation is
Singlethreaded Debug DLL. If so, change it to multithreaded Debug DLL. I
assume that if you try to use that hdf5d.lib you'll get the same lnk error
when trying to link. If this is the problem, FYI MS dropped single threaded
libraries beginning from VS2005

Hi John,

Which platform are you using? XP or vista? 32-bit or 64-bit? Have you included all the external libraries correctly?

Hello Dimitris,

Thanks for the reply. I checked that setting and it was set for
Multithreaded already. All the files are out of the box from the zip
file, so I assume they were configured properly. What is odd also is that I
can only find libc.lib living on my computer in a C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v5.0\Lib\IA64 folder. I cannot find a
reference to it in the project itself, so I imagine it must be being pulled
in from another supporting file.

Hi John,

I work on a lot of the Windows maintenance in HDF5, and I am curious about the troubles you are having. It is interesting that you get errors with Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP, because that is exactly the configuration I do most of my testing on.

You said that everything is "out of the box", so that should make things a little simpler. Do you think you could provide more details about the errors you are getting, especially the first few that come up.

Also, check the following, just to make sure:
-- You have downloaded the szip and zlib DLLs and have them installed in your %SYSTEMROOT%\system directory
-- You have setup environment variables HDF5_EXT_SZIP and HDF5_EXT_ZLIB correctly, according to your environment.
-- If you are using Visual Studio 2005, make sure you are using project files in the .\windows\proj directory. There are also project files in .\windows_vnet\proj that may be converted for VS2005, but they may cause problems.

If none of this helps, could you please tell me more about your build environment? Specifically, is your Windows up-to-date (XP SP2), is your Visual Studio up-to-date (8.0.50727.762 according to Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio), and are you using 32-bit or 64-bit?

Thanks,
Scott Wegner
