CMake fans will need CMake 3.1 to build HDF5-1.8.15. For more information see RELEASE.txt <https://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.15-pre3/hdf5-1.8.15-pre3-RELEASE.txt> Hi Elena, two points: 1) For a Maintenance only why a ABI bump ? HDF5 is the only package, I am aware of, that in averages bump the ABI every 2 releases. This time two bumps in the row. There were changes in the C public headers and symbols were added/removed for C++. All, Please see compatibility report<https://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.15-pre3/hdf5_v1814_v1815snap14_interface_compatibility.html> that was created at code freeze for HDF5 1.8.15. 2) I wasted some time to discover this change ## Disable shared libraries on CYGWIN. (LK - 04/16/15) ## A number of tests run by "make check" fail on CYGWIN, so for HDF5 v1.8.15 ## we will change the default for shared libraries to disabled. ... This seems, in my humble opinion, a questionable approach. I am running tests with shared libraries re-enabled and I will look on these new failures. dt_arith test fails with the shared libraries. If you need to build shared, you should be able to use the —enable-shared configure option. Thank you!
