Failure to build on macOS Sierra when using homebrew hdf5 version 1.10.1 #48

The current (very recently updated) version of hdf5 available through Homebrew is hdf5 v1.10.1. In this version, the C++ interface has had several functions removed. For example, the page at https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/ADGuide/Compatibility_Report/CR_1.10.1.html shows that the function CommonFG::createDataset has been removed. Some of the removed functions are used by h5, and thus compilation fails.

I am willing to try modifying the C++ code in h5 to match the new interface of hdf5 v1.10.1, if that would be useful. But to do so I would appreciate a pointer to instructions on how to build the package from a cloned repository, either using command-line tools or RStudio.

Thanks for the hint!!! Should be fixed now. But if your motivated, feel free to participate - an RStudio project file is also included now. Best, m
