[gdal-dev] compile gdal 2.1.3 with HDF5 support on Debian Lennie

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

We am working on a docker image for spatial analysis using R (see
https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/issues/213 for the discussion) and
I am struggling to get gdal compiled with HDF5 support.

I install the following dependencies:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
  libproj-dev \
  libgeos-dev \
  ## hdf4
  libhdf4-alt-dev \
  ## hdf5
  libhdf5-dev \
  libhdf5-serial-dev \
  zlib1g-dev \
  ## sqlite
  libsqlite3-dev \
  ## freexl
  libfreexl.dev \
  ## odbc
  unixodbc-dev \
  ## diverse
  libexpat1-dev \
  libxerces-c-dev \
  libnetcdf-dev \
  libudunits2-dev \
  ## KML 
  libkml-dev 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and use the following configure options

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./configure \
    --with-geotiff \
    --with-sqlite3 \
    --with-freexl \
    --with-spatialite \
    --with-geos \
    --with-hdf4 \
    --with-hdf5 \
    --with-libjson-c \
    --with-netcdf \
    --with-odbc \
    --with-curl \
    --without-grass \
    --without-libgrass
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I get the following message in the configure output

,----
| checking for H5Fopen in -lhdf5... no
`----

which than results in

,----
| HDF5 support:              no
`----

Any ideas what I am missing?

Thanks,

Rainer
