Perl Dependency

H5SHELL-test_flush_refresh requires Perl for CTest.

/usr/local/bin/bash: /home/runner/work/actions/actions/hdf5-1.14.4/build/test/H5TEST/test_flush_refresh.sh: No such file or directory

For example, FreeBSD 14.0 cmake package doesn't install perl5 package. (cf. automake)

HadoopFS VFD

It was tested 5 years ago. See YouTube video.

Unsigned Binaries

You may get warnings or be unable to run them without special privileges.

See 11-year-old solution for macOS binaries.

GitHub-generated Source Code Packages

They include hidden files. Please use our tarballs, not the auto-generated ones.

Oracle Linux 9.1 RPM Installation

Install gfortran first.

dnf install gfortran

Otherwise, you get an error message

# rpm -i HDF5-1.14.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgfortran.so.5()(64bit) is needed by HDF5-1.14.4.2-1.x86_64
        libgfortran.so.5(GFORTRAN_8)(64bit) is needed by HDF5-1.14.4.2-1.x86_64

WSL v1

Both Debian and Kali fail dt_arith test. OpenSuse 15.2 hangs during configuration for both CMake & Autotools.

Windows H5DUMP-tfloatsattrs Test

OS Compiler Mode Result
Win19 MSVC Release PASS
Win19 MSVC Debug FAIL
Win22 icx Release FAIL
Win22 icx Debug FAIL

Win22 MSVC is fine for both Release and Debug modes.

MSYS2

Build is fine with both CMake and Autotools. Tests fail.

cpp_testhdf5

Test fails on VS 2019 clang-cl 12.0 during clean-up. MSVC is fine.

Android & OpenHarmony

NDK and DevEco can build HDF5 with CMake. Tests will fail.

GCC MinGW64 Cross Compilation

Build is fine with CMake. Some tests will fail.

Cygwin Autotools

Tests fail. Use CMake to make tests pass.

Subfiling VFD

C11 stdatomic.h must be available. Use latest MPICH / OpenMPI to make tests pass.

Subfiling VFD requires atomic operations support.  C11 stdatomic.h NOT
  available.

No Support for 128 bit Integer

HDF5 doesn't support 128 (or above) bit integer natively.

vcpkg

Ubuntu Preview / WSL doesn't work for hdf5:mingw64 package. Ubuntu 22.04 / WSL works fine.

OpenMPI

Version 4.1.5 or above is necessary to pass all tests.

OS Version
Oracle Linux 9.1 4.1.1
OpenBSD 4.1.4
Debian 4.1.4
Ubuntu Preview 4.1.6

MPICH

4.2 or above is necessary for all tests to pass.

OS Version
Oracle Linux 9.1 4.1.1

Compression

Never assume zlib output is the same. zlib works differently on different CPU architectures. Fedora now uses zlib-ng.

s390x & riscv64 Autotools

g++ is required. libcpp is required.

Windows Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit

Intel oneAPI MPI is mostly 3.x and supports some 4.0.

NetBSD

The following tests FAILED:

	106 - H5SHELL-test_swmr (Timeout)

NVHPC 24.x

CMake

dt_arith (debug & release) and dtransform (release) tests fail on 24.3 and 24.7.

Autotools

make check fails for 1.14.4-3:

Testing hard signed char -> long double conversions Command terminated by signal 11

This is fixed in develop.

Flang and LFortran

They are not supported yet.

LFortran on FreeBSD

checking if Fortran compiler version compatible with Fortran 2003... no
configure: error: Fortran compiler lacks required Fortran 2003 features; unsupported Fortran 2003 compiler, remove --enable-fortran

Flang-new Latest

Configuration fails:

CMake Error at config/cmake/HDF5UseFortran.cmake:171 (list):
  list index: 2 out of range (-2, 1)

Actual failure:
