#100: ExternalLibraries/HDF5/HDF5.sh fails to catch a missing library file in user implementation ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: bmundim | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: Keywords: ExternalLibraries HDF5 | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- When the user sets for example both
HDF5=yes HDF5_DIR=/usr
the script HDF5.sh fails to assert if all library files are currently present in the user HDF5 implementation, what leads later on to a linking error, halting then the executable building process. Some library files are missing in the HDF5 version shipped by the Ubuntu distro, for example:
libhdf5_hl_cpp.a
Shouldn't the script output an warning message, and allow linking without this option, since this is not a core library file?
