This directory contains the binary (release) distribution of 
HDF4.2.10 that was compiled on an Intel PC running Windows 7, 
using Visual Studio 2010/Intel Fortran 12.1.  It was built with the 
following options: 
	-- C/Fortran libraries, static
	-- SZIP (encoder enabled), ZLIB, and JPEG
	-- Static HDF4 tools

The contents of this directory are:

    COPYING                 - Copyright notice
    README.txt              - This file
    HDF-4.2.10-win32.exe    - HDF4 Install Utility

We provide the JPEG, ZLIB, SZIP libraries within the install for convenience.  
The default installation folder is:
    C:\Program Files\HDF_Group\HDF\4.2.10 
  
The compressed examples file HDF4Examples-0.1.1-Source.zip, located in the 
HDF4 install folder, can be built and tested with CMake and the supplied
HDF4_Examples.cmake file. The HDF4_Examples.cmake expects HDF4 to have
been installed in the default location with above compilers.

To test the installation with the examples;
    Create a directory to run the examples.
    Copy HDF4Examples-0.1.1-Source.zip to this directory, do NOT unzip.
    Copy HDF4_Examples.cmake to this directory.
    Edit HDF4_Examples.cmake line 8 to set INSTALLDIR to where HDF4 is installed.
    Execute from this directory: 
        ctest -S HDF4_Examples.cmake,HDF4Examples-0.1.1-Source -C Release -O test.log -V

When executed, the ctest script will save the results to the log file, test.log, as
indicated by the ctest command. If you wish the to see more build and test information, 
add "-VV" to the ctest command.

For more information see USING_CMake_Examples.txt in the install folder.
