XDS plugin for reading HDF5 files following the NeXuS format or those written by Dectris Eiger detectors.

Latest release at https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin/releases/tag/2019v1
In your XDS.INP add:
LIB=[path to durin-plugin.so]
NAME_TEMPLATE_OF_DATA_FRAMES=[data_path]/data_images_??????.h5
XDS will instruct the plugin to load [data_path]/data_images_master.h5 and this must be the
Eiger master file or the NeXus file for the data collection.
It is generally assumed that the files [data_path]/data_images_data_xxxxxx.h5 contain the actual
datasets and the master file contains HDF5 external links to these, but that is not required, so long as
the master file contains an NXdata or NXdetector group with either a dataset named data or a
series of datasets named data_000001, data_000002, etc.
- HDF5 Library (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads)
The HDF5 library used when building durin must have been compiled with specific switches enabled to allow the durin plugin to be built and used.
Download the HDF5 source code (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/hdf5/source-code) and extract
to any directory (referred to as /hdf5_dir), and run the following commands.
cd /hdf5_dir
mkdir build
cd build
export CFLAGS=-fPIC
../configure --enable-threadsafe --enable-deprecated-symbols --enable-hl --enable-unsupported
make
make check
make install
The hdf5 tools and libraries should now be located in /hdf5_dir/build/hdf5
For reference, the plugin requires the thread-safe switch and the optimised chunk read function. The chunk read function may be defined in the high level library instead of the regular library, depending on the exact HDF5 version downloaded (hence the --enable-deprecated-symbols and --enable-hl). The unsupported flag enables building with both threadsafe and high-level enabled.
The plugin makefile will use the "h5cc" compiler wrapper, provided by the HDF5 library, which
must be on your PATH.
Download or clone the plugin source code (https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin)
into any directory (referred to as /durin_dir) and run the following commands.
cd /durin_dir
PATH=/hdf5_dir/build/hdf5/bin:$PATH
make
The plugin is located at /durin_dir/build/durin-plugin.so and should be added to the
XDS.INP file as LIB=/durin_dir/build/durin-plugin.so

N.B. the master file is needed, not the .nxs one which follows the standard.
