Need a linux build that is thread-safe and doesn't use SZllib

HDF5 Library
1

Hi, guys

Is there any 1.8.11 build I could use that has ThreadSafety: yes and doesn’t support SZip?

I’m trying to build an application from our vendor that expects those settings.

Am I correct that those options have to be compiled into the binaries/library release?

Will I end up having to compile the 1.8.11 release from source to get what I need?

Thanks,

-Fred

Hi Fred,

did you try: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-threadsafe As you see the szip is disabled by default:

  --with-szlib=DIR        Use szlib library for external szlib I/O filter
                          [default=no]

Best wishes: steven

Thanks, Steven

I have done that and built the code, but did not use the --prefix=/usr/local.

The question I meant to ask is this: "Are there any threadsafe official builds/releases?"

I would rather not have to build a custom image. We would rather use an official image so we can get updates/bug fixes without recompiling.

Thanks for your help!
