Package: libhdf5-dev Version: 1.8.8-9.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Official Debian packages for HDF5 are built without support for Fortran 2003; therefore some new features are not available for users of Fortran. It's a one line change in ./debian/rules; just replace > SERIAL_ONLY_FLAGS = --enable-fortran --enable-threadsafe --enable-cxx with > SERIAL_ONLY_FLAGS = --enable-fortran --enable-fortran2003 --enable-threadsafe > --enable-cxx The compiled package 1.8.12 from Debian Sid works after recompiling on Debian Sid. The compiled package 1.8.8 from Debian Wheezy works after recompiling on Debian Wheezy. You can find some additional information and a small test program on <https://itp.tugraz.at/~ahi/Computer/hdf5/hdf5-f2003/>. We use the modified deb packages from <https://itp.tugraz.at/Comp/debian/dists/wheezy/backports/binary-amd64/> on our computers with success - but we are no heavy users of HDF5 so experience is limited.
