I had a quick look at the package, since the hdf5 FAQ says: "If the build completes properly and the tests pass, then the installation should be okay."
You need two options for 'configure': --enable-unsupported and --enable-cxx. Somewhat surprisingly, the first one is already set in debian/rules. I added --enable-cxx and tried to build the package on my Debian Jessie machine. The build fails with make[2]: Entering directory `/home/sander/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.12/debian/build-openmpi/c++' Making all in src make[3]: Entering directory `/home/sander/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.12/debian/build-openmpi/c++/src' CXX H5Exception.lo In file included from ../../../../src/hdf5.h:24:0, from ../../../../c++/src/H5Include.h:17, from ../../../../c++/src/H5Exception.cpp:18: ../../../../src/H5public.h:63:20: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory # include <mpi.h> ^ compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [H5Exception.lo] Fehler 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sander/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.12/debian/build-openmpi/c++/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sander/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.12/debian/build-openmpi/c++' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sander/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.12/debian/build-openmpi' make: *** [build-stamp-openmpi] Fehler 2 dpkg-buildpackage: Fehler: Fehler-Exitstatus von debian/rules build war 2 Any ideas?
