Error when installing on VS2015

Hdf-forum archives

I just tried to build HDF5 1.8.18 with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7 x64 Pro machine and during the install we get an error because the install command is looking for $BUILD/Bin/shared/*.mod where as the actual files are in $BUILD/Bin/shared/Debug/*.mod.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks

The issue lies in the fortran/src/CMakeLists.txt file and the
hl/fortran/src/CMakeLists.txt file. This block should be:

if (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND NOT SKIP_HDF5_FORTRAN_SHARED)
  file (MAKE_DIRECTORY "${HDF5_HL_F90_SRC_BINARY_DIR}/shared")
  if (WIN32)
    set (MODSH_BUILD_DIR
${CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY}/shared/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR})
  else (WIN32)
    set (MODSH_BUILD_DIR ${CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY}/shared)
  endif (WIN32)
endif (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND NOT SKIP_HDF5_FORTRAN_SHARED)
if (WIN32)
  set (MOD_BUILD_DIR
${CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY}/static/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR})
else (WIN32)
  set (MOD_BUILD_DIR ${CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY}/static)
endif (WIN32)

Note the use of CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR instead of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE does not exist for Xcode or Visual Studio. This page (
https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables) explains the use of
CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR

Can we get this put into the next release or an upcoming patch release?

Thanks

You need to set the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE on the command config line.
I usually set it to the same as:
$ENV{CMAKE_CONFIG_TYPE}
so:
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=$ENV{CMAKE_CONFIG_TYPE}

Spoke too soon. That does not work correctly for Visual Studio. I'll keep
digging...

Will that work on both a NMake and Visual Studio build? With NMake you
don't have the configuration dependent directories like Debug and Release
whereas with Visual Studio you will get those.

It has worked for me across all platforms.

Hi there,

just out of curiosity, why do you need to install at all? I use CMake
and I never have to install anything. Especially on Windows! I have an
automated script to do it for me. Find it here:
https://blog.afach.de/?page_id=421

I used it already on 1.8 and 1.10 and both work.

Best,
Samer Afach

Because we build up a complete SDK for our project that our developers (who are not coding experts) use when they develop plugins for our product. It is easier for us to issue a combined SDK package that has everything precompiled.
