Conan recipe for HDF5

Conan.io recipe for hdf5.

The recipe generates library packages, which can be found at Bintray. The package is usually consumed using the conan install command or a conanfile.txt.

How to use this package

1. Add remote to conan's package registry.txt:

   $ conan remote add sintef https://api.bintray.com/conan/sintef-ocean/conan

2. Using conanfile.txt in your project with cmake

   Add a conanfile.txt to your project. This file describes dependencies and your configuration of choice, e.g.:

   [requires]
   hdf5/[>=1.8.21]@sintef/stable
   
   [options]
   
   
   [imports]
   licenses, * -> ./licenses @ folder=True
   
   [generators]
   cmake_paths
   cmake_find_package
   

   Insert into your CMakeLists.txt something like the following lines:

   cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
   project(TheProject CXX)
   
   include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conan_paths.cmake)
   find_package(HDF5 MODULE REQUIRED)
   
   add_executable(the_executor code.cpp)
   target_link_libraries(the_executor HDF5::HDF5)

   Then, do

   $ mkdir build && cd build
   $ conan install .. -s build_type=<build_type>

   where <build_type> is e.g. Debug or Release. You can now continue with the usual dance with cmake commands for configuration and compilation. For details on how to use conan, please consult Conan.io docs
