========================================================================
I. Preconditions
========================================================================
Obtaining HDF5 source code
   1. Create a directory for your development; for example, "myhdfstuff".

   2. Obtain compressed (*.tar or *.zip) HDF5 source from
         https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/Building+HDF5+with+CMake
      and put it in "myhdfstuff".
      Uncompress the file. There should be a hdf5-1.14."X" folder.

CMake version
   1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake from the Kitware web site.
      The HDF5 1.14."X" product requires a minimum CMake version 3.12,
      where "X" is the current HDF5 release version. If you are using
      VS2022, the minimum version is 3.21.

Note:
   To change the install prefix from the platform defaults initialize
   the CMake variable, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Users of build scripts
   will use the INSTALLDIR option.


========================================================================
II. Quick Step Building HDF5 Libraries with CMake Script Mode
========================================================================
This short set of instructions is written for users who want to quickly
build the HDF5 C and C++ static libraries and tools with SZIP and ZLIB
compression included.  This procedure will use the default settings in
the config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file.
HDF Group recommends using the ctest script mode to build HDF5.

The following files referenced below are available at the HDF web site:
     https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/Building+HDF5+with+CMake

Single compressed file with all the files needed, including source:
    CMake-hdf5-1.14.X.zip or CMake-hdf5-1.14.X.tar.gz

Individual files included in the above mentioned compressed files
-----------------------------------------------
CMake build script:
    CTestScript.cmake

External compression szip and zlib libraries:
    LIBAEC.tar.gz
    SZip.tar.gz
    ZLib.tar.gz

External compression plugin libraries:
    hdf5_plugins.tar.gz

Examples Source package:
    HDF5Examples-2.0.x-Source.tar.gz

Configuration files:
    HDF5config.cmake
    HDF5options.cmake

Build scripts for windows or linux
-----------------------------------------------

To build HDF5 with the SZIP and ZLIB external libraries you will need to:

   1. Change to the development directory "myhdfstuff".

   2. Download the CMake-hdf5-1.14.X.zip(.tar.gz) file to "myhdfstuff".
      Uncompress the file.

   3. Change to the source directory "hdf5-1.14.x".
      CTestScript.cmake file should not be modified.

   4. Edit the platform configuration file, HDF5options.cmake, if you want to change
      the default build environment.
      (See  https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/How+to+Change+HDF5+CMake+Build+Options)

   5. From the "myhdfstuff" directory execute the CTest Script with the
      following options:

      On 32-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2022, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS2022 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On 64-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2022, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS202264 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On 32-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2019, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS2019 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On 64-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2019, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS201964 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On 32-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2017, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS2017 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On 64-bit Windows with Visual Studio 2017, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=VS201764 -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      On Linux and Mac, execute:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=Unix -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log
      The supplied build scripts are versions of the above.

      The command above will configure, build, test, and create an install
      package in the myhdfstuff folder. It will have the format:
          HDF5-1.14.NN-<platform>.<zip or tar.gz>

          On Unix, <platform> will be "Linux". A similar .sh file will also be created.
          On Windows, <platform> will be "win64" or "win32". If you have an
          installer on your system, you will also see a similar file that ends
          in either .exe (NSIS) or .msi (WiX).

      Notes on the command line options.
          The -S option uses the script version of ctest.

          The value for the -C option (as shown above, "-C Release") must
          match the setting for CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE in the platform
          configuration file.

          The -VV option is for most verbose; use -V for less verbose.

          The "-O hdf5.log" option saves the output to a log file hdf5.log.

   6. To install, "X" is the current release version

      On Windows (with WiX installed), execute:
                HDF5-1.14."X"-win32.msi or HDF5-1.14."X"-win64.msi
      By default this program will install the hdf5 library into the
      "C:\Program Files" directory and will create the following
      directory structure:
         HDF_Group
         --HDF5
         ----1.14."X"
         ------bin
         ------include
         ------lib
         ------cmake

      On Linux, change to the install destination directory
      (create it if doesn't exist) and execute:
                <path-to>/myhdfstuff/HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux.sh
      After accepting the license, the script will prompt:
        By default the HDF5 will be installed in:
        "<current directory>/HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux"
        Do you want to include the subdirectory HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux?
        Saying no will install in: "<current directory>" [Yn]:
      Note that the script will create the following directory structure
      relative to the install point:
         HDF_Group
         --HDF5
         ----1.14."X"
         ------bin
         ------include
         ------lib
         ------share

      On Mac you will find HDF5-1.14."X"-Darwin.dmg in the myhdfstuff folder. Click
      on the dmg file to proceed with installation. After accepting the license,
      there will be a folder with the following structure:
         HDF_Group
         --HDF5
         ----1.14."X"
         ------bin
         ------include
         ------lib
         ------share

      By default the installation will create the bin, include, lib and cmake
      folders in the <install destination directory>/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.14."X"
      The <install destination directory> depends on the build platform;
        Windows will set the default to:
          C:/Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.14."X"
        Linux will set the default to:
          "myhdfstuff/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.14."X"
      The default can be changed by adding ",INSTALLDIR=<my new dir>" to the
          "ctest -S HDF5config.cmake..." command. For example on linux:
         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/myhdf5,BUILD_GENERATOR=Unix -C Release -VV -O hdf5.log


========================================================================
III. Quick Step Building HDF5 C Static Libraries and Tools with CMake
========================================================================
Notes: This short set of instructions is written for users who want to
       quickly build just the HDF5 C static library and tools from
       the HDF5 source code package using the CMake command line tools.
       Avoid the use of drive letters in paths on Windows.

   Go through these steps:

      1. Change to the development directory "myhdfstuff".

      2. Uncompress the HDF5 source file

      3. Create a folder  "build" in the "myhdfstuff" directory.

      4. Change into the "build" folder.

      5. Configure the C library, tools and tests with one of the following commands:

         On Windows 32 bit
           cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DHDF5_BUILD_TOOLS:BOOL=ON ..\hdf5-1.15."X"

         On Windows 64 bit
           cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019 Win64" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DHDF5_BUILD_TOOLS:BOOL=ON ..\hdf5-1.15."X"

         On Linux and Mac
           cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON -DHDF5_BUILD_TOOLS:BOOL=ON ../hdf5-1.14."X"

         where "X" is the current release version.

      6. Build the C library, tools and tests with this command:
           cmake --build . --config Release

      7. Test the C library and tools with this command:
           ctest . -C Release

      8. Create an install image with this command:
           cpack -C Release CPackConfig.cmake

      9. To install
         On Windows (with WiX installed), execute:
                HDF5-1.14."X"-win32.msi or HDF5-1.14."X"-win64.msi
         By default this program will install the hdf5 library into the
         "C:\Program Files" directory and will create the following
         directory structure:
            HDF_Group
            --HDF5
            ----1.14."X"
            ------bin
            ------include
            ------lib
            ------cmake

         On Linux, change to the install destination directory
         (create if doesn't exist) and execute:
                <path-to>/myhdfstuff/build/HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux.sh
         After accepting the license, the script will prompt:
           By default the HDF5 will be installed in:
           "<current directory>/HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux"
           Do you want to include the subdirectory HDF5-1.14."X"-Linux?
           Saying no will install in: "<current directory>" [Yn]:
         Note that the script will create the following directory structure
         relative to the install point:
            HDF_Group
            --HDF5
            ----1.14."X"
            ------bin
            ------include
            ------lib
            ------share

         On Mac you will find HDF5-1.14."X"-Darwin.dmg in the build folder. Click
         on the dmg file to proceed with installation. After accepting the license,
         there will be a folder with the following structure:
            HDF_Group
            --HDF5
            ----1.14."X"
            ------bin
            ------include
            ------lib
            ------share


========================================================================
IV. Further considerations
========================================================================

   1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake for windows from the Kitware
      web site. The HDF5 1.14."X" product requires a minimum CMake version 3.18.

   2. If you plan to use Zlib or Szip:
      A. Download the binary packages and install them in a central location.
         For example on Windows, create a folder extlibs and install the
         packages there. Add the following CMake options:
            -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=some_location/lib/zlib.lib
            -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=some_location/include
            -DZLIB_USE_EXTERNAL:BOOL=OFF
            -DSZIP_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=some_location/lib/szlib.lib
            -DSZIP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=some_location/include
            -DSZIP_USE_EXTERNAL:BOOL=OFF
         where "some_location" is the full path to the extlibs folder.
         Also the appropriate environment variable must be set;
            set(ENV{ZLIB_ROOT} "some_location")
            set(ENV{SZIP_ROOT} "some_location")

      B. Use source packages from an GIT server by adding the following CMake
         options:
            HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="GIT"
            ZLIB_GIT_URL:STRING="https://some_location/zlib"
            SZIP_GIT_URL:STRING="https://some_location/szip"
         where "some_location" is the URL to the GIT repository. Also set
         CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to the configuration type.

      C. Use source packages from a compressed file by adding the following
         CMake options:
            HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="TGZ"
            ZLIB_TGZ_NAME:STRING="zlib_src.ext"
            SZAEC_TGZ_NAME:STRING="szaec_src.ext"
            TGZPATH:STRING="some_location"
         where "some_location" is the URL or full path to the compressed
         file and ext is the type of compression file. Also set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
         to the configuration type during configuration. See the settings in the
         config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file HDF uses for testing.

      D. Use original source packages from a compressed file by adding the following
         CMake options:
            BUILD_SZIP_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=ON
            LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING="szip_src.ext"
            LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING="some_location"

            BUILD_ZLIB_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=ON
            ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING="zlib_src.ext"
            ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING="some_location"

            HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="TGZ"
         where "some_location" is the URL or full path to the compressed
         file and ext is the type of compression file. The individual filters are
         enabled by setting the BUILD_<filter>_WITH_FETCHCONTENT CMake variable to ON.
         Also set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to the configuration type during configuration.
         See the settings in the config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file HDF uses for testing.

         The files can also be retrieved from a local path if necessary
            TGZPATH:STRING="some_location"
         by setting
            ZLIB_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=ON
            LIBAEC_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=ON

   3. If you plan to use compression plugins:
      A. Use source packages from an GIT server by adding the following CMake
         options:
            HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="GIT"
            PLUGIN_GIT_URL:STRING="http://some_location/plugins"
         where "some_location" is the URL to the GIT repository. Also set
         CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to the configuration type.

      B. Use source packages from a compressed file by adding the following
         CMake options:
            HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="TGZ"
            PLUGIN_TGZ_NAME:STRING="plugin_src.ext"
            TGZPATH:STRING="some_location"
         where "some_location" is the URL or full path to the compressed
         file and ext is the type of compression file. Also set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
         to the configuration type during configuration. See the settings in the
         config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file HDF uses for testing.

   4. If you are building on Apple Darwin platforms, you should add the
      following options:
          Compiler choice - use xcode by setting the ENV variables of CC and CXX
          Shared fortran is not supported, build static:
            BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF
          Additional options:
            CMAKE_ANSI_CFLAGS:STRING=-fPIC
            CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS:BOOL=ON
            CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH:BOOL=OFF

   5. Windows developers should install NSIS or WiX to create an install image with CPack.
      Visual Studio Express users will not be able to package HDF5 into
      an install image executable.

   6. Developers can copy the config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file and alter the
      the settings for the developers' environment. Then the only options needed
      on the command line are those options that are different. Example using HDF
      default cache file:
           cmake -C ../config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" \
               -DHDF5_ENABLE_SZIP_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF -DHDF5_ENABLE_Z_LIB_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF \
               -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ..

   7. CMake uses a toolchain of utilities to compile, link libraries and
      create archives, and other tasks to drive the build. The toolchain
      utilities available are determined by the languages enabled. In normal
      builds, CMake automatically determines the toolchain for host builds
      based on system introspection and defaults. In cross-compiling
      scenarios, a toolchain file may be specified with information about
      compiler and utility paths.
                Variables and Properties
      Several variables relate to the language components of a toolchain which
      are enabled. CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER is the full path to the compiler used
      for <LANG>. CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID is the identifier used by CMake for
      the compiler and CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION is the version of the compiler.

      The CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS variables and the configuration-specific equivalents
      contain flags that will be added to the compile command when compiling a
      file of a particular language.

      As the linker is invoked by the compiler driver, CMake needs a way to
      determine which compiler to use to invoke the linker. This is calculated
      by the LANGUAGE of source files in the target, and in the case of static
      libraries, the language of the dependent libraries. The choice CMake makes
      may be overridden with the LINKER_LANGUAGE target property.

      See the CMake help for more information on using toolchain files.

      To use a toolchain file with the supplied cmake scripts, see the
      HDF5options.cmake file under the toolchain section.

Notes: CMake and HDF5

   1. Using CMake for building and using HDF5 is under active development.
      While we have attempted to provide error-free files, please
      understand that development with CMake has not been extensively
      tested outside of HDF. The CMake specific files may change
      before the next release.

   2. CMake support for HDF5 development should be usable on any
      system where CMake is supported. Please send us any comments on
      how CMake support can be improved on any system. Visit the
      KitWare site for more information about CMake.

   3. Build and test results can be submitted to our CDash server:
      The CDash server for community submissions of hdf5 is at
          https://cdash.hdfgroup.org.

      Submitters are requested to register their name and contact info and
      maintain their test sites. After your first submission, login and go
      to your "My CDash" link and claim your site.

      We ask that all submissions include the configuration information and
      contact information in the CTest Notes Files upload step. See the
      current reports on CDash for examples.

      Please follow the convention that "NIGHTLY" submissions maintain the same
      configuration every time. "EXPERIMENTAL" submissions can be expected to
      be different for each submission.

   4. See the appendix at the bottom of this file for examples of using
      a ctest script for building and testing. Using a ctest script is
      preferred because of its flexibility.

Notes: CMake in General

   1. More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare site at
         www.cmake.org.

   2. CMake uses the command line; however, the visual CMake tool is
      available for the configuration step. The steps are similar for
      all the operating systems supported by CMake.


========================================================================
V. Options for Building HDF5 Libraries with the CMake Command Line
========================================================================

To build the HDF5 Libraries with CMake, go through these five steps:

   1. Run CMake
   2. Configure the cache settings
   3. Build HDF5
   4. Test HDF5
   5. Package HDF5 (create install image)

These five steps are described in detail below.

========================================================================

   1. Run CMake

      The visual CMake executable is named "cmake-gui.exe" on Windows and should be
      available in your Start menu. For Linux, UNIX, and Mac users the
      executable is named "cmake-gui" and can be found where CMake was
      installed.

      Specify the source and build directories.

      ***** Make the build and source directories different. ******

      For example on Windows, if the source is at c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5,
      then use c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build or c:\MyHDFstuff\build\hdf5 as the
      build directory.

      RECOMMENDED:
        Users can perform the configuration step without using the visual
        cmake-gui program. We use the file cacheinit.cmake in the
        config/cmake source folder for our testing. This file enables all of the
        basic options and we turn specific options on or off for testing
        using the following command line within the build directory:

        cmake -C <sourcepath>/config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake -G "<generator>"  [-D<options>]  <sourcepath>

        Where <generator> is
            * MinGW Makefiles
            * NMake Makefiles
            * Unix Makefiles
            * Visual Studio 14 2015
            * Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64
            * Visual Studio 15 2017
            * Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64

   2. Configure the cache settings

      2.1  Visual CMake users, click the Configure button. If this is the first time you are
           running cmake-gui in this directory, you will be prompted for the
           generator you wish to use (for example on Windows, Visual Studio 12).
           CMake will read in the CMakeLists.txt files from the source directory and
           display options for the HDF5 project. After the first configure you
           can adjust the cache settings and/or specify the locations of other programs.

           Any conflicts or new values will be highlighted by the configure
           process in red. Once you are happy with all the settings and there are no
           more values in red, click the Generate button to produce the appropriate
           build files.

           On Windows, if you are using a Visual Studio generator, the solution and
           project files will be created in the build folder.

           On linux, if you are using the Unix Makefiles generator, the Makefiles will
           be created in the build folder.

      2.2  Preferred command line example on Windows in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\build directory:

               cmake -C ../config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" "-Ax64"\
               -DHDF5_ENABLE_SZIP_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF -DHDF5_ENABLE_Z_LIB_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF \
               -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release ..

      2.3  On Windows, if you are using a Visual Studio Express version you must
           be sure that the following two options are correctly set/unset:

           HDF5_NO_PACKAGES:BOOL=ON
           HDF5_USE_FOLDERS:BOOL=OFF

   3. Build HDF5

      On Windows, you can build HDF5 using either the Visual Studio Environment
      or the command line. The command line can be used on all platforms;
      Windows, linux, Unix, and Mac.

      To build from the command line, navigate to your build directory and
      execute the following:

              cmake --build . --config {Debug | Release}

      NOTE: "--config {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We
            recommend choosing either Debug or Release on Windows.

      3.1  If you wish to use the Visual Studio environment, open the solution
           file in your build directory. Be sure to select either Debug or
           Release and build the solution.

      3.2.1  The external libraries (zlib, szip and plugins) can be configured
           to allow building the libraries by downloading from a GIT repository.
           The option is 'HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT'; by adding the following
           configuration option:
               -DHDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="GIT"

           The options to control the GIT URL (config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake file) are:
               ZLIB_GIT_URL:STRING="http://${git_url}/zlib"
               SZIP_GIT_URL:STRING="http://${git_url}/szip"
               PLUGIN_GIT_URL:STRING="http://${git_url}/plugin"
           ${git_url} should be changed to your location. Also define CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
           to be the configuration type.

      3.2.2  Or the external libraries (zlib, szip and plugins) can be configured
           to allow building the libraries by using a compressed file.
           The option is 'HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT' and is enabled by
           adding the following configuration option:
               -DHDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT:STRING="TGZ"

           The options to control the TGZ URL (config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake
           file) are:
               ZLIB_TGZ_NAME:STRING="zlib_src.ext"
               LIBAEC_TGZ_NAME:STRING="libaec_src.ext"
               PLUGIN_TGZ_NAME:STRING="plugin_src.ext"
               TGZPATH:STRING="some_location"
            where "some_location/xxxx_src.ext" is the URL or full path to
            the compressed file and where ext is the type of the compression
            file such as .bz2, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, or .zip. Also define
            CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to be the configuration type.

           NOTE: HDF5 uses the file named by LIBAEC_TGZ_NAME to build SZIP. This
                 is used to account for the different headers and library names.

   4. Test HDF5

      To test the build, navigate to your build directory and execute:

              ctest . -C {Debug | Release}

      NOTE: "-C {Debug | Release}" may be optional on your platform. We
            recommend choosing either Debug or Release to match the build
            step on Windows.

   5. Packaging HDF5 (create an install image)

      To package the build into a simple installer using WiX toolset or the NullSoft installer NSIS
      on Windows, or into compressed files (.tar.gz, .sh, .zip), use the CPack tool.

      To package the build, navigate to your build directory and execute;

              cpack -C {Debug | Release} CPackConfig.cmake

      NOTE: See note 8 of this document for NSIS information.
            See note 9 of this document for WiX information.
            Also, if you are using a Visual Studio Express version or
            want to disable the packaging components, set HDF5_NO_PACKAGES
            to ON (on the command line add -DHDF5_NO_PACKAGES:BOOL=ON)

   6. The files that support building HDF5 with CMake are all the files in the
      config/cmake folder, the CMakeLists.txt files in each source folder, and
      CTestConfig.cmake. CTestConfig.cmake is specific to the internal testing
      performed by The HDF Group. It should be altered for the user's
      installation and needs. The cacheinit.cmake file settings are used by
      The HDF Group for daily testing. It should be altered/ignored for the user's
      installation and needs.

   7. More information about using CMake can be found at the KitWare site,
         www.cmake.org.

   8. Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
      The Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) is an open source installation
      system. It was created by the WinAmp authors to distribute that application,
      but it is now a general-purpose system which anyone might use. NSIS installers
      recognize /S for silent installation and /D=dir to specify the
      "output directory", which is where the program will be installed. These
      options are case-sensitive, so be sure to type them in upper case.

   9. WiX Toolset
      WiX--the Windows Installer XML toolset--lets developers create installers for
      Windows Installer, the Windows installation engine. See http://wixtoolset.org.

NOTE:
  The BUILD_STATIC_EXECS ("Build Static Executables") option is only valid
  on some unix operating systems. It adds the "-static" flag to cflags. This
  flag is not available on windows and some modern linux systems will
  ignore the flag.

NOTE:
  The HDF5_USE_GNU_DIRS option is usually recommended for linux platforms, but may
  be useful on other platforms. See the CMake documentation for more details.

  ---------------- Unsupported Library Options ---------------------
    The threadsafe, C++ and Java interfaces are not compatible
    with the HDF5_ENABLE_PARALLEL option.
    Unless ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED has been specified,
    the following options must be disabled:
        HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE, HDF5_BUILD_CPP_LIB, HDF5_BUILD_JAVA

    The high-level, C++, Fortran and Java interfaces are not compatible
    with the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE option because the lock is not hoisted
    into the higher-level API calls.
    Unless ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED has been specified,
    the following options must be disabled:
       HDF5_BUILD_HL_LIB, HDF5_BUILD_CPP_LIB, HDF5_BUILD_FORTRAN, HDF5_BUILD_JAVA


========================================================================
VII. User Defined Options for HDF5 Libraries with CMake
========================================================================

Support for User Defined macros and options has been added. The file
UserMacros.cmake has an example of the technique. In the folder,
config/cmake/UserMacros, is an implementation for Windows Visual Studio
users for linking libraries to the static CRT - Windows_MT.cmake.

Copy the contents of the file, both macro and option, into the
UserMacros.cmake file. Then enable the option to the CMake configuration,
build and test process.


========================================================================
VIII. User Defined Compile Flags for HDF5 Libraries with CMake
========================================================================

Custom compiler flags can be added by defining the CMAKE_C_FLAGS and
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variables.
Using a cmake script:
    set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -O2")
Defined on the configure line:
    cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-O2 ..

Debug symbols are enabled with configuration selections Debug or RelWithDebInfo.
The difference between Debug and RelWithDebInfo configurations is that
RelWithDebInfo optimizes the code similar to Release. It produces fully optimized
code, but also creates the symbol table and the debug metadata to give the
debugger input to map the execution back to the original code.
RelwithDebInfo configuration should not affect the performance when the code
is run without a debugger attached.

The HDF5_ENABLE_COVERAGE option will add "-g -O0 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
to CMAKE_C_FLAGS.


========================================================================
IX:   Considerations for cross-compiling
========================================================================

Cross-compiling has several consequences for CMake:
    CMake cannot automatically detect the target platform.
    CMake cannot find libraries and headers in the default system directories.
    Executables built during cross compiling cannot be executed.

Cross-compiling support means that CMake separates information about the
build platform and target platform and gives the user mechanisms to solve
cross-compiling issues without additional requirements such as running
virtual machines, etc.

CMake uses a toolchain of utilities to compile, link libraries and create
archives, and other tasks to drive the build. The toolchain utilities
available are determined by the languages enabled.

CMake stores info about the current toolchain in the following variables:
    CMAKE_C_COMPILER,
    CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER.
They contain paths to the C and C++ compilers respectively. This is usually
enough on desktop platforms. In the case of embedded systems, a custom
linker and assembler setting may be needed. In more complex projects
you may need to additionally specify binaries to other parts of the toolchain
(size, ranlib, objcopy…). All these tools should be set in the corresponding
variables:
    CMAKE_AR,
    CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER,
    CMAKE_LINKER,
    CMAKE_OBJCOPY,
    CMAKE_RANLIB

As for the host and target operating systems, CMake stores their names in the
following variables:
    CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME – name of the platform, on which CMake is running (host platform).
        On major operating systems this is set to the Linux, Windows or
        Darwin (MacOS) value.
    CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME – name of the platform, for which we are building (target platform).
        By default, this value is the same as CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME, which
        means that we are building for the local platform (no cross-compilation).

Put the toolchain variables into a separate file (e.g. <toolchain_name>.cmake)
and set CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable to the path of that file.
If cmake is invoked with the command line parameter:
    --toolchain path/to/file
or
    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=path/to/file
the file will be loaded early to set values for the compilers. The
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING variable is set to true when CMake is cross-compiling.

Structure of the toolchain file
-------------------------------
In fact, the toolchain file doesn’t have any structure. You can put anything you
want there. But the best practice is to define at least these settings:
path to the toolchain binaries (C compiler, C++ compiler, linker, etc.)
name of the target platform (and optionally target processor architecture)
required compilation and linking flags on that particular platform
toolchain sysroot settings

It is recommended that you set the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH variable to a path where
you have an exact copy of the root filesystem you have on your target device (with
libraries and binaries pre-compiled for the target processor).

Predefine H5Tinit.c file
-------------------------------
The one file that needs to be pre-generated is the H5Tinit.c file. The variables
indicated in the error log (see above) are the variables that need to match the target system.

The HDF5 CMake variables;
    HDF5_USE_PREGEN: set this to true
    HDF5_USE_PREGEN_DIR: set this path to the preset H5Tinit.c file


========================================================================
X:    Using CMakePresets.json for compiling
========================================================================

One problem that CMake users often face is sharing settings with other people for common
ways to configure a project. This may be done to support CI builds, or for users who
frequently use the same build. CMake supports two main files, CMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json,
that allow users to specify common configure options and share them with others. CMake also supports
files included with the include field.

CMakePresets.json and CMakeUserPresets.json live in the project's root directory. They
both have exactly the same format, and both are optional (though at least one must be
present if --preset is specified). CMakePresets.json is meant to specify project-wide build
details, while CMakeUserPresets.json is meant for developers to specify their own local build details.

See CMake documentation for details: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-presets.7.html

HDF-provided CMakePresets.json
-------------------------------
The CMakePresets.json provided by HDF requires CMake version 3.25, which supports package
and workflow presets, and ninja build system. The top-level configuration group is intended to be
a standard set of options to produce a package of shared and staic libraries and tools. Other configurations
used for inheriting settings are in the included json file in "config/cmake-presets/hidden-presets.json".

Available configurations presets can be displayed by executing:
    cmake -S <path-to-source> --list-presets

Using individual command presets (where <compiler-type> is  GNUC or MSVC or Clang):
    change directory to the hdf5 source folder
    cmake --presets=ci-StdShar-<compiler-type>
    cmake --build --presets=ci-StdShar-<compiler-type>
    ctest --presets=ci-StdShar-<compiler-type>
    cpack --presets=ci-StdShar-<compiler-type>


Using the workflow preset to configure, build, test and package the standard configuration is:
    change directory to the hdf5 source folder
    execute "cmake --workflow --presets=ci-StdShar-<compiler-type> --fresh"
          where <compiler-type> is  GNUC or MSVC or Clang

Creating your own configurations
--------------------------------
The quickest way is to copy CMakePresets.json to CMakeUserPresets.json and
edit CMakeUserPresets.json configuration names from ci-* to my-*. Change the
"configurePresets" section "inherits" field only for those that you have alternate
options. Then change the "configurePreset" field entries in the "buildPresets",
"testPresets", "packagePresets" sections to match your my-StdShar-<compiler-type>.
And finally the names settings in the "workflowPresets" steps will also need the ci-* to my-* change.

For instance, to change the support files to use a local directory, edit CMakeUserPresets.json:
......
    {
      "name": "my-base-tgz",
      "hidden": true,
      "inherits": "ci-base",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT": {"type": "STRING", "value": "TGZ"},
        "TGZPATH": {"type": "STRING", "value": "${sourceParentDir}/temp"}
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "my-StdCompression",
      "hidden": true,
      "inherits": "my-base-tgz",
      "cacheVariables": {
......
   {
      "name": "my-StdShar",
      "hidden": true,
      "inherits": "my-StdCompression",
      "cacheVariables": {
......
    {
      "name": "my-StdShar-GNUC",
      "description": "GNUC Standard Config for x64 (Release)",
      "inherits": [
        "ci-x64-Release-GNUC",
        "ci-CPP",
        "ci-Fortran",
        "ci-Java",
        "my-StdShar",
        "my-StdExamples"
      ]
    }
......


Then you can change or add options for your specific case.
