Luca,

I get the impression you are trying to build the HDF5 plugin with MinGW
for use with a GDAL built with MSVC.  Plugins use the C++ API and are
generally not going to be compatible between compilers.  At this time
I believe you just have to use a similar compiler to build plugins as
was used to build the core GDAL library.

The offer to improve MinGW/MSVC mixing only applies to the GDAL/OGR C API
(not the C++ API) and is mainly aimed at making it possible to build
applications against the GDAL/OGR C API using MinGW when GDAL is built with
MSVC.

Best regards,
