Hi,
since I did not receive a single answer (not even off list)
let me ask:
1) Is this the correct list to ask questions about how to
compile the library?
2) Did anyone (users) succeed building the library on
windows? Please also let me know if you did not even
try, but using it on linux only.
3) Can anyone point me to a place where my questions
could be answered, since I feel a little uncomfortable
only being able to use the pre-puilt libraries.
Thank you so much.
Roland

Hi Roland,

Yes, this is a good place to ask those questions. I don't think we've got many Windows-knowledgeable people on the list yet though.
2) Did anyone (users) succeed building the library on
windows? Please also let me know if you did not even
try, but using it on linux only.
3) Can anyone point me to a place where my questions

I'll send your message to our Windows people at The HDF Group and also ask them to subscribe to the mailing list.

hi roland;
am win user - saw your email and did not have any comment as i don't generally build test scripts. plus i'm using 1.8.
how i'd proceeded as newbie was to get the code, build libs and then write my own test program (using HL APIs)... so i had nothing to contribute to your query ;-(
BTW/FYI -
i recently migrated our app from VC6 to VS8 and found/learned that VS8 did not work as a demand linker. Not knowing which of the .c files to include in my builds, I'd very (lazily) added all the .c files to build hd5.dll; this included H5detect.c which includes a call to setlongjmp. setlongjmp only exists in the Unix world. While both VC6 and VS8 compile this file, VS8 complains loudly during link stage but VC6 does not. What I can surmised is that VC6 is a demand linker (only links in those objs which are pulled in by code) while VS8 does not appear to be so.
(maybe I "should" put this in a separate thread - but... at least now one could search on googlegroups...)
kindest regards,
sheshadri

As you might have noticed, in the meantime I have advanced
a little, because I found a "bug" in the testing batch files.
However if your system is using English as the language for
the output of the "fc" tool you might not have noticed there
was a bug present.

I work on a lot of the Windows maintenance for HDF, and I think I have an idea of the testing bug you're referring to. There is code in the test scripts along the lines of:
fc %expect% %actual% | find "FC: no diff" > nul
This is a workaround to a sort of "bug" in the Windows FC command; alone, FC does not return an error code, so we need to pipe the output to the FIND command, which returns an error code we can check for.
As you can see, the string we're searching for assumes English is being used. This will give problems for non-English computers. I'll have to dig around to see if there is a better language-independent solution to this.
I also saw comment about your linking troubles-- I'm going to investigate that as well, and see if we can figure out the problem.
