The HDF5 “make check” test are written to verify libraries that are internal to the source tree, so compiling and executing them outside of the hdf5 source code is a somewhat arduous process. Is there a convenient method I could use to compile and run these test without re-compiling the libraries ? I’m looking for a way to be to compile/execute the tests on a run-time platform when the libraries were cross-compiled on a different platform. It would also be convenient to check if HDF5 libraries would work on different linux distributions without having to be recompiled. Thanks for any info.
There is a small set of examples installed by “make install” in <install prefix>/share/hdf5_examples with scripts (run-all-ex.sh) to compile (using the compile scripts h5cc, etc in <install prefix>/bin) and run the resulting binaries. They are not at all comprehensive tests, but should demonstrate that the installed HDF5 libraries are functional, at least to some extent. There is a README file in the hdf5_examples directory.
