COMPILING A PROGRAM:
-------------------
                  
Following are instructions for compiling an application program on the 
window xp using the hdfeos binaries that we provide or you build.

Make sure that you already have all of the following libraries before you 
startto compile an application program:  libjpeg.lib, zlib.lib (or zdll.lib), 
szlib.lib, hdf5.lib, hdf5_hl.lib, hdfeos5.lib, hdf5_fortran.lib, 
hdf5_hl_fortran.lib, gctp.lib.

NOTE: The current versions that we're using: jpeg6b, zlib1.2.5, szip2.1, 
HDF5-1.8.5, HDFEOS5.1.13.
If you want to use the latest versions of jpeg, zlib and szlib, 
go to The HDF Group website (http://www.hdfgroup.org/release4/obtain.html and
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html) to download.

C or Fortran program :
---------------------
Using Microsoft "Visual C++ version 9.x (orlater)" for C program:
Using Digitalt Visual Fortran version 9.x or later version for 


==================== Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 =======================

Example: runing the hdfeos testdrivers:

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and create a project 
(Visual C++ Project->Win32 Console Project). place a "testdriver" (for example
/hdfeos/testdrivers/swath/testswath.c) in the "Source Files" directory (in the 
Solution Explorer Window) and the tutils.h in the "Haeder Files" directory of 
the project. Choose "Release" or "Debug" for the configuration setting (using 
Build->"Configuration Manager" or the one showing on the toolbar).


Click on project name in the project tree.
Select Project->Properties:

	Select "General" under "Configuration Properties". 
		In the selection window for "Configuration Type" select 
		"Application(.exe)" option to create output as executable.

	Select folder C/C++->Preprocesssor
		Add the following to "Preprocessor definitions":   
		VISUAL_CPLUSPLUS, INTEL86, H5_USE_16_API  (if you are using 
		HDF5-1.8.X this may be required to map a few depricated hdf5 
		functions to their new formats)

		If the followings were not already there, then add them:   
		WIN32,_CONSOLE

		For "Runtime Library" use "Multi-thread(/MT)"

		For "precompiled Headers" choose 
		"Create Precompiled Headers(/yc)"

		For "Advanced"->"Compile As" choose "Compile as C Code (/TC)"


	Select "Linker" folder.

		Under "General" chose "output File" and specify the exectable 
		and full path to it as "F:\MyHdfeos_bin\testswath.exe".

		Under "Input" put the followings for the 
		"Additional Dependencies":


   		Swath & Point:
   		==============
      		wsock32.lib hdfeos5.lib hdf5_hl.lib hdf5.lib libjpeg.lib 
		zdll.lib szlib.lib

   		Grid
   		====
      		wsock32.lib hdfeos5.lib gctp.lib hdf5_hl.lib hdf5.lib 
		libjpeg.lib zdll.lib szlib.lib

   		The following libraries may (or may not) need to be included: 
       		kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdig32.lib
       		advapi32lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib
       		odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

   		NOTE: hdfeos5.lib and gctp.lib are Release Versions.
      		hdfeos5d.lib and gctpd.lib are Debug versions.


		Under "Advanced" type "main" for the "Entry Point"
	This completes settings for "Linker". Click "Apply' then "OK" to 
	close Property setting window.


Select Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories->
       "Show directories for"->"Include files", add the following directories:
	$(VCInstallDir)include
	$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include
	$(WindowsSdkDir)\include
	$(FrameworkSDKDir)include
	F:<path to jpeg>\include  
	F:<path to zlib>\include
	F:<path to szlib>\include      
        F:<path to HDF5>\include 
        F:<path to HDFEOS5>\include 
	

Select Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions ->VC++Directories->
       "Show directories for"->"Library files", add the following directories:

        $(VCInstallDir)lib
	$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib
	$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib\i386
	$(WindowsSdkDir)\lib
	$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib
	$(VSInstallDir)
	$(VSInstallDir)lib
	F:<path to jpeg>\lib 
	F:<path to zlib>\lib
	F:<path to szlib>\lib
	F:<path to HDF5>\lib
	F:<path to HDFEOS5>\lib


Click "OK" to close "Options" window.

Select Build and then "Build <project name>".

To run the executable file, for example, testswath.exe

Open MS-Dos, go to ../testdrivers/swath and run testswath.exe. 

NOTE: Before running testpoint.exe, you should copy all ".txt" files to release
      folder.
