Hi forum,
In order to get hdf5 1.8.9 to compile cleanly with no fuzz on mingw,
just patch two files, configure.in and src/Makefile. Then regenerate
scripts with "aclocal && autoheader && libtoolize && automake && autoconf".
Finally run configure with the option "--with-mingw", compile and enjoy.
The patches are very simple:
**** Patch for configure.in
