Yes, as you can see in ./configure template, you can use these
options to pass base location (so called prefix) of HDF libraries
(binaries and headers):

As you can see in the ./configure usage message, you can pass locations
as value of --with-hdfX options.

$ ./configure --help | grep -i hdf
  --with-hdf4=ARG       Include HDF4 support (ARG=path)
  --with-hdf5=ARG       Include HDF5 support (ARG=path)
