Re: java, Swarm, JDK1.2.2, Solaris 8 and static vs shared libraries

[Gary Polhill]

Sorry Marcus, I lost the error message I got, but basically, what I remember is 
it trying to comile HDF5Object.m and complaining that it couldn't find some 
HDF5-looking headerfile.

Backtracking a few steps, the reason for compiling without HDF5 was because 
when compiling swarm it was looking for odd libraries like ssl. I had used a 
precompiled binary of HDF5 1.4.2, because I couldn't get HDF5 1.2.1 to compile, 
and my guess is this was compiled with all the bells and whistles. So, I tried 
compiling HDF5 1.4.2 myself, and managed it (though I had to use the Sun 
Workshop compiler, not gcc -- using gcc meant configure told me the compiler 
was no good -- I checked the config.log file and it was trying some odd command 
like gcc solaris -lots -of -other -options. The compiler failed because it 
couldn't find a file called "solaris" -- but that's all by the by.) I have now 
successfully compiled Swarm-2001-08-25, though make install failed initially 
with this:

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /software/swarm/swarm-2.1.1/swarm/bin
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /software/swarm/swarm-2.1.1/swarm/include

I copied install-sh from the top level directory to 
/software/swarm/swarm-2.1.1/swarm/bin, and make install completed successfully.

I have now successfully compiled heatbugs (Obj-C), but not java, which I'm 
about to put in a separate message about!

The configure option to add is --without-hdf5dir.  It could be that in
the snapshot that all the HDF5 support wasn't disabled internally.
Since I always use a HDF5 and Java equipped Swarm, I sometimes
inadvertently let thesee dependencies sneak in.  What's the error?
It's easy to disable..  HDF5.m will still get compiled; however, most
of its contents will be excluded.
