[gdal-dev] Compiling GDAL with HDF4 support

[Hernán De Angelis]

Hi everyone

I am trying to compile GDAL 3.2.1 with HDF4 4.2.15. HDF4 is in 
/usr/local and subdirectories, but GDAL configure (--with-hdf4) complains:

checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdfalt... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lhdf4... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
configure: error: HDF4 support requested with arg "yes", but neither 
hdf4 nor mfhdf lib found


Yet, in /usr/local/lib64 I find:

/usr/local/lib64/libhdf4.settings
/usr/local/lib64/libmfhdf.a
/usr/local/lib64/libmfhdf.la


Am I missing something? Working in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Thanks in advance

Hernán
