Well, package maintainers should just remove --with-default-api- version=v16 from the build script. Perhaps some dependent packages need -DH5_USE_16_API following that change, but that is a small price to pay for having a proper build, eh?
But looking at the time line of this bug, I fear that there is nobody at ubuntu concerned with HDF5 ... so let's see if poking the debian maintainers of the package brings something. In any case, the broken build is in 12.04 LTS, and probably there to stay. Off I am to building a local HDf5 library install ... this sucks. What also sucks is that the HDF5 lib lacks a sane way to undo the enforced default API, except fixing every individual function mapping macro. This is FAIL* on several levels. *Yeah, sorry for using that childish term. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734889 Title: H5 Compat macros nonfunctional with -DH5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdf5/+bug/734889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
