[svn-r6549] Purpose: This is the first check-in message related to szip support at HDF5 1.6 release Description: szip compression support is required by NASA ESDIS. The compression algorithm is a good compression algorithm for scientific data. In HDF5, we add another filter function to make szip as a default compression package as we did for gzip(or zlib). Solution: In the configure.in and configure, I handled szip exactly the same as what zlib was built into the HDF5. Currently if you don't specify in the configure command line with: ./configure --with-szlib=/..... Unless you put your szip library in your path,you will build the same HDF5 library like before. Also, I only use static szip library to test with HDF5. Platforms tested: Since there are changes of configure.in and configure,I didn't use h5committest. I tested with four platforms. 1) Linux 2.4 (eirene) 2) Solaris 2.7(arabica) 3) windows 2000(VS 6.0) 4) SGI IRIX6.5-64(modi4) For test 1)-3), only basic C tests were done For modi4 test, I tested 64-bit C,parallel and fortran. ALl tests passed, except a warning message from szip library when checksum is used in some order, which doesn't cause any real problems. Misc. update:
