CMake and autotools builds differences

[bruno.pagani]

Hi there,

I’m packaging HDF5 for ArchLinux, and I have discrepancies between autotools and CMake builds, both having issues that the other one does not. For now, let’s assume serial builds with both static and shared libs, cxx, fortran and hl being enabled. BTW, this would be my point number…

0. There is no way to disable static libs in CMake builds.

1. Files present in autotools build only:

/usr/bin/h5fc
/usr/bin/h5perf_serial
/usr/bin/h5redeploy

/usr/include/th5_misc_gen.mod
/usr/include/tstds.mod
/usr/include/tstds_tests.mod

/usr/include/h5d.mod
/usr/include/h5ds.mod
/usr/include/h5e.mod

/usr/include/hdf5.mod

4. CMake versioned symlinks for .so files are borked:

/usr/lib/libhdf5.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_cpp.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_cpp.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_f90cstub.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_f90cstub.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_fortran.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_fortran.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_f90cstub.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_f90cstub.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_fortran.so.100.2.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_fortran.so.101

Autotools for reference:

/usr/lib/libhdf5.so.101
/usr/lib/libhdf5.so.101.1.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_cpp.so.102
/usr/lib/libhdf5_cpp.so.102.0.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_fortran.so.100
/usr/lib/libhdf5_fortran.so.100.1.1
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.100
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.100.1.0
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.100
/usr/lib/libhdf5_hl_cpp.so.100.1.1
/usr/lib/libhdf5hl_fortran.so.100
/usr/lib/libhdf5hl_fortran.so.100.0.2

Note that the CMake build outputs this at the beginning:

-- SOVERSION: 101.1.0
-- SOVERSION_TOOLS: 100.1.0
-- SOVERSION_CXX: 102.0.0
-- SOVERSION_F: 100.1.1

-- SOVERSION_HL_CXX: 100.1.1
-- SOVERSION_HL_F: 100.0.2
-- SOVERSION_JAVA: 100.2.0

5. The CMake build does not output a summary of the configuration before starting to build. For the record, here is autotools one:

There might be other ones, but if everything here is addressed, that would be a good start.

Yes there are differences between the build systems, because they do target different uses. However,
the libraries and include files are intended to be the same. Most of the differences stem from autotools being unix platform centric and CMake being cross-platform.

The .so numbers are wrong in CMake, thanks for discovering that. We have a HDF Group initiative to make the CMake builds on linux a reliable option (originally CMake was a Windows only implementation). So any help is very much appreciated. Our bug tracker number for this issue is HDFFV-10444 and a fix is already in progress.

Static builds are required for certain link operations, therefore SHARED is the option.

The summary info is just the hdf5.settings file in the lib folder. I guess we could have CMake display it, maybe as a very verbose option.

CMake builds the fortran cstub libraries separately from the fortran library.

CMake builds the fortran mod files in separate folders because of build mechanics - however the packaging will only use one set of *.mod files.

PKG-CONFIG support is new for CMake (we do plan to add it to autotools builds) in order to create equivalent h5xxx scripts for CMake builds. The CMake scripts use the pkgconfig files where the autotools h5xxx scripts implement the link and compile options. Equivalent but not identical.

OK, so I guess I should be building with autotools then (at least for now).

OK, noted.

Static builds are required for certain link operations, therefore SHARED is the option.

Why then does autotools builds allow to disable static build? (–disable-static)

The summary info is just the hdf5.settings file in the lib folder. I guess we could have CMake display it, maybe as a very verbose option.

Well it’s nice to have a summary of the configuration that will be used to build to check everything is right (I sometime have surprises with projects silently discarding an option if a dependency is missing rather than aborting, and also they are numerous projects not respecting {C,CPP,CXX,LD}FLAGS).

CMake builds the fortran cstub libraries separately from the fortran library.

CMake builds the fortran mod files in separate folders because of build mechanics - however the packaging will only use one set of *.mod files.

OK for the differences explanations, however I’m not sure of what you mean in your last sentence: lists of files above are what ended up in my package with make install.

PKG-CONFIG support is new for CMake (we do plan to add it to autotools builds) in order to create equivalent h5xxx scripts for CMake builds. The CMake scripts use the pkgconfig files where the autotools h5xxx scripts implement the link and compile options. Equivalent but not identical.

I know it’s new, it has been requested some time ago on our side (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56370), and it’s availability only in CMake builds is what made me try those instead of autotools.

pkg-config is required in any case, because some projects depend on this to detect HDF5 correctly…

One more issue, tests run fine with ctest . -C Release for CMake builds but make check fails in autotools builds:

[bruno.pagani]

They are still a bunch of questions left unanswered here, especially regarding static vs. shared builds.

[byrn]

The next release of HDF software will add the ability to only build shared libs with CMake.

We will continue to package (CMake) fortran mod files for static and shared (if both are enabled) because we have found there are some platforms that fail using the wrong version.

We have added CMake toolchain support for some use cases.
