Get Xdmf

The old version of this page can be found at [1]

Xdmf depends on boost, zlib and hdf5. You must build those projects before you can build xdmf. To use Xdmf from Python, Tcl or Java you will also need swig.

To obtain xdmf:

• git clone git://public.kitware.com/Xdmf2.git XDMF
• mkdir build
• cd build
• ccmake ../XDMF
• make

To use xdmf from wrapped languages you will need to configure XDMF_WRAP_PYTHON, or XDMF_WRAP_JAVA on in ccmake.

Xdmf is also mirrored in VTK. To use XDMF within VTK, simply turn on Module_vtkIOXdmf2 or Module_vtkIOXdmf3 on the advanced options page of you VTK configuration.
