[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38928] configure -> hdf5 doesn't handle path through

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #38928 (project octave):

As a workaround, here is how I build Octave with HDF5 in Debian unstable
(which has been moved to non-standard include and lib directories):


../configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/hdf5/serial
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial ...


This is similar to what I originally suggested in comment #2,
essentially using the global CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS instead of the --with-hdf5-*
options.

I think the best approach is to try to remove HDF5 from the Octave public API
as much as possible, which in turn means we wouldn't have to add HDF5 flags
all over the place. Since that's a big separate issue on its own, I'll open a
separate bug report about that.
