A pull request on what? CFFI, or hdf5-cffi? There are no open pull requests on the latter, and on CFFI, there are two, neither which seems relevant. The issue I cited ended with the recommendation to set the CC variable to h5cc. That works to get the includes taken care of, but it doesn't find the library. Moreover, I find it unsatisfactory to tell the user to do something before starting CL for the package to install, so if we can come up with a solution that's transparent to the user, it would be better.
One issue is a CFFI issue: (pkg-config-cflags "hdf5" :optional t) in hdf5-cffi/hdf5/grovel.lisp does not help cffi-grovel find the necessary .h files. It is a CFFI issue because I do get the right answer from the shell: pkg-config --cflags hdf5 -I/usr/include/hdf5/serial I am using the latest CFFI, not even released yet 4e74b15387ba Manual: remove statement that C structs cannot be passed by value Thoughts?
