HDF5 Installation

Howdy!

Looking at the list of files
<https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/libhdf5-devel/libhdf5-devel-1.12.3-1>
for the 2024 HDF5 installation 1.12.3
<https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libhdf5-devel.html>, I notice that
neither the pkg-config or cmake files are installed. For reference,
mingw's installation
of hdf5 <https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-hdf5> has them
here:


   - /mingw64/lib/cmake/hdf5-targets.cmake
   - /mingw64/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5.pc

Are these installed elsewhere? If not, what's preventing them from
being installed, or what can I do to help them be installed?

Hi Kyle

the package is NOT built using cmake but is using autoconf.
There are no special change. So upstream have not included those files
in the 1.12.3 autoconf

I have not yet tried to build using cmake nor built the 1.14.x series

Marco

Any chance you could use cmake for the next installation? That way more
packages would be able to include HDF5 with cmake and pkg-config.

Best,
Kyle

That's an upstream issue: the HDF Group still recommends to build with
autotools on UNIX platforms (which Cygwin is most closely aligned to),
but does not provide pkgconfig files in that build yet.  Even with the
cmake build the .pc content was/is incorrect and causes breakage
elsewhere.

https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/8

So if you want to see this in Cygwin, please prod / help upstream to
fix this.
