OPTIONS:

-help

This help message.

-echo

Show all the shell commands executed

-prefix=DIR

Prefix directory to find HDF5 lib/ and include/

subdirectories [default: /usr]

-show

Show the commands without executing them

-showconfig

Show the HDF5 library configuration summary

-shlib

Compile with shared HDF5 libraries [default for hdf5 built without static libraries]

-noshlib

Compile with static HDF5 libraries [default for hdf5 built with static libraries]

<compile line>

- the normal compile line options for your compiler.

h5pcc uses the same compiler you used to compile

HDF5. Check with your compiler's man pages for more information on which options are needed.

You can override the compiler, linker, and whether or not to use static or shared libraries to compile your program by setting the following environment variables accordingly:

HDF5_CC

- use a different C compiler

HDF5_CLINKER

- use a different linker

HDF5_USE_SHLIB=[yes|no]

- use shared or static version of the HDF5 library

[default: no except when built with only

shared libraries]

You can also add or change paths and flags to the compile line using the following environment varibles or by assigning them to their counterparts in the 'Things You Can Modify to Override...' section of h5pcc

Variable

Current value to be replaced

HDF5_CPPFLAGS

""

HDF5_CFLAGS

""

HDF5_LDFLAGS

""

HDF5_LIBS

""

Note that adding library paths to HDF5_LDFLAGS where another hdf5 version is located may link your program with that other hdf5 library version.
