Following up on my bugreport for ParaView. I am still trying to install the pv-meshless plugin. I installed hdf5-devel but it seems it was configured using the "old" ./configure method. Would it be possible to do the configuration with cmake and include the .cmake files in the hdf5-devel package? Just a note about the status of hdf5 and cmake. I have been using cmake to configure hdf5 for a while now (since 1.8.8 up to the latest 1.8.10) and have it installed on a multitude of systems (including cross-compilation on clusters such as BGQs) and it has been very stable.
Sounds like a good idea, especially since I'm doing battle with the autotool stuff at the moment. I'll take a look.
Let me know if you run into any troubles. But so far it has been a walk in the park so you should be fine.
I'm getting close, but I now have to decide whether or not to continue doing static builds of the library as this means going from 3 builds (one serial plus two mpi builds) to 6 (separate static build for each).
Upstream hasn't yet implemented installing the compiler wrappers and example sources. I'm going to hold off on this until those issues are addressed.
Right that is of course a valid reason. You might want to get in touch with their helpdesk and just let them know that you would like to see this feature implemented. They are usually very friendly and it might speed up things a bit and hopefully making your job a bit easier in the future.
Yeah, I'm pretty friendly with Barbara :). She indicated that they were working on those items.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Any new updates?
I made an attempt [1] but unfortunately, two years on and it looks like the CMake build _still_ doesn't install the compiler wrappers or the examples. At least for static builds, they're moving towards combined static+shared with CMake [2].

The 1.8.16 release [1] includes the new static+shared build system. [1] http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/HDF-Newsletter-146-td4028430.html
