Should avoid using hardcodded names - always if possible

What CMake file is outputting something different on Windows? Can you provide reference for this?
The target names are created via
libaec-config.cmake
https://gitlab.dkrz.de/k202009/libaec/-/blob/master/cmake/libaec-config.cmake.in?ref_type=heads#L25.If target doesn't exist, it should fall back on prior logic for
else()
case.This is only way to get both static and shared support. If you use
SZIP_LIBRARIES
, it will hardcode the specific library found.a
,.lib
,.dll
,.dylib
, or.so
With prior logic, the resulting HDF5 cmake config file (if built with shared
libaec
) will cause:to run
(c|clang|g)++ test.cpp ... /path/to/libhdf5.a /path/to/libsz.{so,dylib}
.Whereas most users would expect:
(c|clang|g)++ test.cpp ... /path/to/libhdf5.a /path/to/libsz.a

hdf5 only needs static compression libs

But most external distribution require shared libraries and do not allow bundling libraries, e.g.
The default externally will always be shared. If static libraries are provided, then ideally should work as users expect.
Otherwise, most repositories/distros will just drop support for SZIP in HDF5. If that is the recommendation, can just go this route and close PR.

hdf5 doesn't expose the API for compression, the reason for shared - static lib is only provided for linking the static hdf5. So if there is no static hdf5, then there is not a need for providing a static compression lib.
Also, the compression libraries do not require inline build with hdf5 - they be can be built externally and just use the proper include and lib paths to pull them into hdf5

In Homebrew's case, we have both. We distribute a shared and static HDF5 from single build. We always default to shared as main library.
User expectation here is that each would behave as expected, depending on if they use
hdf5-shared
orhdf5-static
target (or FindHDF5.cmake -HDF5_USE_STATIC_LIBRARIES=[ON|OFF]
)That is what we've done in Homebrew until 1.14.5 introduced a build regression. We have not updated to HDF5 1.14.5 yet due to these issues.
Issue was also reported by FreeBSD. It will impact pretty much all repositories/distros that use CMake build. Linux distros are pretty much all using autotools so won't be impacted until v2.
