Dear Maintainer,
Recently (or, maybe not that recently), Debian has shifted from installing one
libhdf5-dev package with /usr/include/hdf5.h to providing multiple
co-installable packages which give /usr/include/hdf5/<version>/hdf5.h.
But FindHDF5.cmake does not support these practices and will not find these
versions of hdf5, regardless of the environment variable HDF5_ROOT.
For my own particular project, I have worked around this by using pkgconfig to
check for the preferred HDF5 version as specified by the Debian alternatives
system. The code I have used is below, and could be adapted into a patch:
----
if (NOT HDF5_FOUND)
find_package(PkgConfig)
if (PKG_CONFIG_FOUND)
pkg_check_modules(HDF5 hdf6)
# But using pkgconfig is a little weird because HDF5_LIBRARIES won't be
# filled with exact library paths, like the other scripts. So instead
# what we get is HDF5_LIBRARY_DIRS which is the equivalent of what we'd
# pass to -L. So we have to add those...
if (HDF5_FOUND)
link_directories("${HDF5_LIBRARY_DIRS}")
endif()
endif()
endif()
----
Potentially this issue should have been filed upstream, but I have chosen to
file it here as the issue is specific to Debian and derivatives which use the
same unusual hdf5 packaging scheme.
Thanks!
Ryan
