first stab and generating parallel hdf5 builds

Description of problem:
mpich2 and openmpi are supported however there isn't a build of hdf5 against either mpi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.8.5-1.fc14

How reproducible:
very much.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fedora 14
2. install openmpi and mpich2
3. search for hdf5-mpich2 or hdf5-openmpi and they aren't there.
  
Actual results:
Nothing

Expected results:
hdf5-mpich2 hdf5-openmpi

Additional info:
So, I've got a patch to the spec file as a first stab at building hdf5 against the mpi's. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. I installed the headers and libraries in parallel next to the mpich2 and openmpi libraries and headers. It doesn't make much sense to make separate directories for every package that could build against any MPI available in fedora. As a user of MPI if I want mpich2 I want everything that could work with it in one place. Keeping them separate means that someone expects that they could be mixed and matched, this isn't the case with MPI. Mixing scalapack-openmpi with an app built with mpich2 doesn't work and will never be expected to work, so just install scalapack in the same directory as openmpi and be done with it.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks for starting on this.  I've reworked this a bit to make it more to my liking.

Rawhide build:

F14 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2556030

Please test this out and let me know how it works.

Looks fine to me.

I did lots of I/O and it worked using mpiio, posix and special hdf5 parallel I/O.
So it seems to work to me.

Thanks for being excepting and responsive.

Comment 7 David Brown 2010-11-10 22:11:31 UTC
So is hdf5 part of RHEL6 or is that still an EPEL thing?

Comment 8 Orion Poplawski 2010-11-10 23:43:16 UTC
EPEL.  Unfortunately it appears that the configure trick I used in the Fedora spec doesn't work for EL6 so it will take some work to get this built for EL6.

Comment 9 Orion Poplawski 2010-12-08 17:21:24 UTC
hdf5-1.8.5.patch1-5.el6 has been built for EL6
