4.3.1 requires HDF5 but configure doesn't support it
sebastic opened this issue · comments
The 4.3.1 release requires HDF5 for the bzip2 sources, however configure doesn't support HDF5 and won't complain if hdf5.h is not present/found.
As hdf5.h & libhdf5.so are installed in a non-standard locations on Debian systems (/usr/include/hdf5/serial & /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial respectively), having the libhdf5-dev package installed is not sufficient.
OS: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid
Buildsystem: Autotools
We can make that more clear; as it is, the C++ interface requires libnetcdf with netcdf4 enabled, which implies the existance of libhdf5. But cleaning up/modernizing/making the build system consistent and explicit in this requirement is a good idea. Thanks!
