Re: h5utils can't find libraries during configure

Thanks Bin Jiang for the reply. Unfortunately I can not find many of the packages in the Cygwin repositories, so I have compiled many of them from source.

I did manage to get h5topng to compile. It required both libpng14 and libpng14-devel (version 1.4.3-2) from the Cygwin repositories. The default png libraries with Cygwin are libpng12 and libpng12-devel (version 1.2.44-1) I now have both versions installed which fixed that problem.

The ./configure script still can not find libmatheval or the hdf4 libraries that I compiled from source. I have set the following environment variable in addition to the two previously mentioned via the command

export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Any insight into why the configure script can not recognize the matheval and hdf4 libraries would be appreciated.

I'm running MPB 1.4.2 under Cygwin 1.7.6 and Windows 7 without a problem.
However, h5utils will not configure properly when I try to build from
source. The following lines from the output of ./configure seem to indicate
the problem:
checking for png_create_write_struct in -lpng... no
configure: WARNING: can't find libpng: won't be able to compile h5topng
checking for evaluator_get_variables in -lmatheval... no
configure: WARNING: can't find libmatheval: won't be able to compile h5math
checking for h4toh5... no
checking for h5toh4... no
checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... yes
checking for DFSDgetdata in -ldf... no
configure: WARNING: can't find libdf (HDF4): won't be able to compile
h5fromh4 or h4fromh5
...
checking for mkoctfile... no
configure: WARNING: can't find mkoctfile: won't be able to compile
h5read.oct
However, I have libpng12.a and libpng12.dll.a (from the Cygwin package
repository) in my /usr/lib directory and I built libmatheval 1.1.7 from
source. It's libraries are in /usr/local/lib.
I tried setting the following environment variables in bash but the problem
persists:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/:/usr/lib/"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/:/usr/include/"
Any help at building h5utils would be appreciated. Thanks!
