Building against HDF5/1.14.4.3 #958

Open pgrt opened 2 months ago

pgrt commented 2 months ago

Hello,

In Debian HDF5 1.14.4.3 is about to replace 1.10, and sra-tools fails to build against it.

We found that adding -DH5_USE_110_API to the CPPFLAGS allows one to build against 1.14, while still building against 1.10.

We will add this flag in the Debian package as of now, but for sure if you add it yourself in the future it will become easier and we will remove our addition.

Thanks a lot,

Pierre

Thanks for letting us know. The SRA submission pipeline uses HDF5 for loading PacBio data into the archive, and the pipeline still uses the older HDF5 API. We plan to add CMake code to deal with both older and newer versions of the API. Until then, we won't be able to fix this because it would break the submission pipeline.
