Obtaining the HDF Software

Latest Official Release of HDF: 4.2.6

The latest formal release of HDF4 can be obtained from this page. HDF4 requires the ZLIB and JPEG external libraries. The pre-compiled binaries below are built with these as well as the SZIP library. For convenience, these external libraries are included in the binaries below.

HDF4 Information:


External Libraries Used By HDF4

The ZLIB and JPEG external libraries are REQUIRED by HDF, but are not part of HDF. The SZIP library is optional. Be sure to review the SZIP licensing information when using SZIP.

External Libraries

ZLIB Compression Information Source [ 1.2.5 or 1.2.5 w/Cmake ]

NOTE:
- The SZIP configuration changed in version 2.1, but this did not affect the built SZIP 2.0 binaries.


HDF4 Software

The pre-compiled binaries listed in the table below are built with and include the SZIP, ZLIB, and JPEG libraries, which are external to HDF. Be sure to review the SZIP licensing information if using SZIP.
