add docs about cmake option to build zfp with the proper word size

Open cyrush opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

H5Z-ZFP Docs and runtime error messages suggest:

-DBIT_STREAM_WORD_TYPE=uint8

But with zfp 1.0.1, that cmake option isn't recognized.

The proper option is:

-DZFP_BIT_STREAM_WORD_SIZE=8

BIT_STREAM_WORD_TYPE is a GNU make option for zfp (see https://zfp.readthedocs.io/en/release1.0.1/installation.html#c.BIT_STREAM_WORD_TYPE). We should make sure both or are accepted by CMake, or perhaps deprecate one of them.
