************************************************************************

========================================================================
I. Prerequisites
========================================================================
    1. Create a working directory that is accessible from the compute nodes for
       running tests; the working directory should be in a scratch space or a
       parallel file system space since testing will use this space.  Building
       from HDF5 source in a 'home' directory typically results in test
       failures and should be avoided.

    2. Load modules for desired compilers, module for cmake version 3.18 or greater,
       and set any needed environment variables for compilers (i.e., CC, FC, CXX).
       Unload any problematic modules (i.e., craype-hugepages2M).

========================================================================
II. Obtain HDF5 source
========================================================================
Obtain HDF5 source code from the HDF5 repository using a git command or
from a release tar file in a working directory:

    git clone https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5.git
        [-b branch] [source directory]

If no branch is specified, then the 'develop' version will be checked out.
If no source directory is specified, then the source will be located in the
'hdf5' directory. The CMake scripts expect the source to be in a directory
named hdf5-<version string>, where 'version string' uses the format '1.xx.xx'.
For example, for the current 'develop' version, the "hdf5" directory should
be renamed "hdf5-1.13.0", or for the first hdf5_1_12_0 pre-release version,
it should be renamed "hdf5-1.12.0-5".

If the version number is not known a priori, the version string
can be obtained by running bin/h5vers in the top level directory of the source clone, and
the source directory renamed 'hdf5-<version string>'.

Release or snapshot tar files may also be extracted and used.

========================================================================
III. Using ctest command to build and test
========================================================================

The ctest command [1]:

  ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=Unix -C Release -V -O hdf5.log

will configure, build, test and package HDF5 from the downloaded source
after the setup steps outlined below are followed.

CMake option variables are available to allow running test programs in batch
scripts on compute nodes and to cross-compile for compute node hardware using
a cross-compiling emulator.  The setup steps will make default settings for
parallel or serial only builds available to the CMake command.

    1. For the current 'develop' version the "hdf5" directory should be renamed
       "hdf5-1.13.0".

    2. Three cmake script files need to be copied to the working directory, or
       have symbolic links to them, created in the working directory:

       hdf5-1.13.0/config/cmake/scripts/HDF5config.cmake
       hdf5-1.13.0/config/cmake/scripts/CTestScript.cmake
       hdf5-1.13.0/config/cmake/scripts/HDF5options.cmake

       should be copied to the working directory.

    3. The resulting contents of the working directory are then:

       CTestScript.cmake
       HDF5config.cmake
       HDF5options.cmake
       hdf5-1.13.0

       Additionally, when the ctest command runs [1], it will add a build directory
       in the working directory.

    4. The following options (among others) can be added to the ctest
       command [1], following '-S HDF5config.cmake,' and separated by ',':

       HPC=sbatch   (or 'bsub' or 'raybsub') indicates which type of batch
                     files to use for running tests.  If omitted, test
                     will run on the local machine or login node.

       KNL=true      to cross-compile for KNL compute nodes on CrayXC40
                     (see section IV)

       MPI=true      enables parallel, disables c++, java, and threadsafe

       LOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_ARGS="--account=<account#>"  to supply user account
                                                       information for batch jobs

       The HPC options will add BUILD_GENERATOR=Unix for the three HPC options.
       An example ctest command for a parallel build on a system using sbatch is

         ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,HPC=sbatch,MPI=true -C Release -V -O hdf5.log

       Adding the option 'KNL=true' to the above list will compile for KNL nodes,
       for example, on 'mutrino' and other CrayXC40 machines.

       Changing -V to -VV will produce more logging information in HDF5.log.

    More detailed CMake information can be found in the HDF5 source in
    release_docs/INSTALL_CMake.txt.

========================================================================
IV. Cross-compiling
========================================================================
For cross-compiling on Cray, set environment variables CC=cc, FC=ftn
and CXX=CC (for c++) after all compiler modules are loaded since switching
compiler modules may unset or reset these variables.

CMake provides options for cross-compiling.  To cross-compile for KNL hardware
on mutrino and other CrayXC40 machines, add HPC=sbatch,KNL=true to the
ctest command line.  This will set the following options from the
config/cmake/scripts/HPC/sbatch-HDF5options.cmake file:

    set (COMPILENODE_HWCOMPILE_MODULE "craype-haswell")
    set (COMPUTENODE_HWCOMPILE_MODULE "craype-mic-knl")
    set (LOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_NAME "knl_ctestS.sl")
    set (LOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_PARALLEL_NAME "knl_ctestP.sl")
    set (ADD_BUILD_OPTIONS "${ADD_BUILD_OPTIONS} -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:STRING=config/toolchain/crayle.cmake")

On the Cray XC40 the craype-haswell module is needed for configuring, and the
craype-mic-knl module is needed for building to run on the KNL nodes. CMake
with the above options will swap modules after configuring is complete,
but before compiling programs for KNL.

The sbatch script arguments for running jobs on KNL nodes may differ on CrayXC40
machines other than mutrino.  The batch scripts knl_ctestS.sl and knl_ctestP.sl
have the correct arguments for mutrino:  "#SBATCH -p knl -C quad,cache".  For
cori, another CrayXC40, that line is replaced by "#SBATCH -C knl,quad,cache".
For cori (and other machines), the values in LOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_NAME and
LOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_PARALLEL_NAME in the config/cmake/scripts/HPC/sbatch-HDF5options.cmake
file can be replaced by cori_knl_ctestS.sl and cori_knl_ctestS.sl, or the lines
can be edited in the batch files in hdf5-1.13.0/bin/batch.

========================================================================
V. Manual alternatives
========================================================================
If using ctest is undesirable, one can create a build directory and run the cmake
configure command, for example

"/projects/Mutrino/hpcsoft/cle6.0/common/cmake/3.18/bin/cmake"
-C "<working directory>/hdf5-1.14.x/config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake"
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DHDF5_BUILD_FORTRAN:BOOL=ON
-DHDF5_BUILD_JAVA:BOOL=OFF
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<working directory>/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.14.x
-DHDF5_ENABLE_Z_LIB_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF -DHDF5_ENABLE_SZIP_SUPPORT:BOOL=OFF
-DHDF5_ENABLE_PARALLEL:BOOL=ON -DHDF5_BUILD_CPP_LIB:BOOL=OFF
-DHDF5_BUILD_JAVA:BOOL=OFF -DHDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE:BOOL=OFF
-DHDF5_PACKAGE_EXTLIBS:BOOL=ON -DLOCAL_BATCH_TEST:BOOL=ON
-DMPIEXEC_EXECUTABLE:STRING=srun -DMPIEXEC_NUMPROC_FLAG:STRING=-n
-DMPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS:STRING=6
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:STRING=config/toolchain/crayle.cmake
-DLOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_NAME:STRING=knl_ctestS.sl
-DLOCAL_BATCH_SCRIPT_PARALLEL_NAME:STRING=knl_ctestP.sl -DSITE:STRING=mutrino
-DBUILDNAME:STRING=par-knl_GCC493-SHARED-Linux-4.4.156-94.61.1.16335.0.PTF.1107299-default-x86_64
"-GUnix Makefiles" "" "<working directory>/hdf5-1.14.x"

followed by make and batch jobs to run tests.

To cross-compile on CrayXC40, run the configure command with the craype-haswell
module loaded, then switch to the craype-mic-knl module for the build process.

Tests on machines using slurm can be run with

"sbatch -p knl -C quad,cache ctestS.sl"

or

"sbatch -p knl -C quad,cache ctestP.sl"

for parallel builds.

Tests on machines using LSF will typically use "bsub ctestS.lsf", etc.

========================================================================
VI.    Other cross compiling options
========================================================================
Settings for two other cross-compiling options are also in the config/toolchain
files which do not seem to be necessary with the Cray PrgEnv-* modules

1.  HDF5_USE_PREGEN.  This option, along with the HDF5_USE_PREGEN_DIR CMake
    variable would allow the use of an appropriate H5Tinit.c file with type
    information generated on a compute node to be used when cross compiling
    for those compute nodes.  The use of the variables in lines 110 and 111
    of HDF5options.cmake file seem to preclude needing this option with the
    available Cray modules and CMake option.

2.  HDF5_BATCH_H5DETECT and associated CMake variables.  This option when
    properly configured will run H5detect in a batch job on a compute node
    at the beginning of the CMake build process.  It was also found to be
    unnecessary with the available Cray modules and CMake options.
