If we added these features to the CMake scripts would that help also? I am more of a "CMake Guy" than an autotools guy but I would think adding these flags to the CMake files for MinGW would allow one to configure HDF5 with CMake on MinGW (or MSYS).
Thoughts? When is the next release of HDF5 scheduled for? Not sure I am going to have time to patch before mid August. ___________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson Principal Software Engineer BlueQuartz Software Dayton, Ohio mike.jack...@bluequartz.net www.bluequartz.net On Jul 18, 2012, at 6:05 PM, edscott wilson garcia wrote: > 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.
