Dear All,
I am the current cygwin maintainer for hdf5,
and I succeded some time ago to port HDF5-1.6.8
with shared libs using gcc-3.4.4.
I am remaining with HDF5-1.6.x as octave can not yet
use HDF5-1.8.x

I am just trying to make the same with the new
gcc-4.3.2-2,
and the build completes but "make test" instead of
skipping
"big Test" as before is performing also those tests
and stop there

--------------------------------------
#048 0x0000000050707680
PASSED
#049 0x00000000236ae1a5
PASSED

Test passed with the Family Driver.

Checking if file system supports big files...
Testing big file with the SEC2 Driver
Testing large dataset write
*FAILED*

--------------------------------------

full log attached.

Two questions:
- which is the easy way to skip that "big test"
- what exactly SEC2 is and how is supposed to work ?
Just to understand if I should spend some time
trying to solve the problem or I should ignore it.

Thanks in advance
Marco

I solved both the two issues

···

-----------------------------------------
Test passed with the SEC2 Driver.
0.07user 0.35system 0:00.86elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 785664maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (3091major+0minor)pagefaults 0swaps
-----------------------------------------

I also discovered that on cygwin-1.7 the
--with-pthread option is working with half of
the CPU usage than before.

Regards
Marco
