I’ve created HDFFV-8942<https://jira.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/browse/HDFFV-8942> in 
the HDF Jira issue tracking database.  If someone has examples of open source 
software that have such an option I will add them to the description for future 
reference.

Thanks Larry. I have used these examples. Could you put in a feature requests 
for a “don’t build libraries” make variable that could be used with “make 
check” (that could require the user to link in the libraries with LDFLAGS AND 
CFLAGS) ? This would greatly aid in comprehensively testing HDF5 with different 
compilers/hardware/operating systems. Thanks.

Hi Sean,

There is a small set of examples installed by “make install” in <install 
prefix>/share/hdf5_examples with scripts (run-all-ex.sh) to compile (using the 
compile scripts h5cc, etc in <install prefix>/bin) and run the resulting 
binaries.  They are not at all comprehensive tests, but should demonstrate that 
the installed HDF5 libraries are functional, at least to some extent.   There 
is a README file in the hdf5_examples directory.

The HDF5 “make check” test are written to verify libraries that are internal to 
the source tree, so compiling and executing them outside of the hdf5 source 
code is a somewhat arduous process. Is there a convenient method I could use to 
compile and run these test without re-compiling the libraries ? I’m looking for 
a way to be to compile/execute the tests on a run-time platform when the 
libraries were cross-compiled on a different platform. It would also be 
convenient to check if HDF5 libraries would work on different linux 
distributions without having to be recompiled. Thanks for any info.
