[CIG-SHORT] Problem when building Pylith from source.

[Brad Aagaard]

Laura,

This error is a compilation error associated with a bad comment line 
within HDF5. Some compilers are more lenient than others when they 
encounter C++ style comments in C code.

../../../hdf5-1.8.11/tools/lib/h5tools_dump.c:635:9: error: expected 
expression before '/' token
          //HGOTO_ERROR(dimension_break, H5E_tools_min_id_g, "Could not 
allocate buffer for ptdata");



Change line 635 of hdf5-1.8.11/tools/lib/h5tools_dump.c from

//HGOTO_ERROR(dimension_break, H5E_tools_min_id_g, "Could not allocate 
buffer for ptdata");

to

/* HGOTO_ERROR(dimension_break, H5E_tools_min_id_g, "Could not allocate 
buffer for ptdata"); */



I will create a patched version of the HDF5 tarball on the CIG website 
to fix this.

Thanks for reporting this.

Brad
