I have problems compiling the package. Perhaps it is necessary to update the java dependencies?

checking for gcj... no
checking for guavac... no
checking for jikes... no
checking for javac... no
configure: error: no acceptable Java compiler found in $PATH
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

I'm trying to compile HDF4 in another context. Despite patching configure.ac to find libtirpc the ./configure fails:

-- Looking for xdr_int - not found -- Looking for xdr_int in /usr/lib/libnsl.so - not found -- HDF4 XDR Library will be built -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

respectively

Could not locate xdr symbols in libc or libnsl.

Has anybody occurred this error before?

I get the following error: checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-schmidan/aur-hdf4/src/build': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details see https://pastebin.com/HwT6D8aE

and config.log says: https://pastebin.com/n7xQuG9g

@eleftg Thank you for your suggestion. It turns out that my JAVA_OPTIONS were incorrectly specified in my shell startup file, and for some reason, they were being copied to the Makefiles during building, which was messing up. So now the package compiled fine, although I still had to use --disable-dependency-tracking.

@meriops No idea why this could be happening but can you try changing line 33 of the PKGBUILD to:

"${srcdir}/hdf-${pkgver}"/configure MAKE=gmake \

and then post back whether it worked?

Hi, This package is not compiling for me... I get :

config.status: error: in `/home/ol/progs/builds/hdf4/src/build': config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments for automatic dependency tracking. Try re-running configure with the '--disable-dependency-tracking' option

When I do as suggested, I then get :

Makefile:319: *** missing separator. Stop.

Any hint as what I am doing wrong?

Well noticed Arcturus. Thank you!

Indeed, ever since the package switched from static to shared libs, the fortran option needed to be disabled due to a configuration error

configure: error: Cannot build shared fortran libraries. Please configure with --disable-fortran flag.

I now created a separate hdf4-static (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdf4-static) package that offers fortran.

The description says this is the "full version including the FORTRAN and the Java Native Interfaces - JNI", yet the configure flag --disable-fortran is used in the PGKBUILD.

Should the description (or PKGBUILD) be updated, or am I missing something?

Perfect thanks!

No problem.

I've also added you as a co-maintainer, so that you can directly apply any future modifications.

Hi @eleftg again, I forgot to add the load library path in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ when I converted the hdf4 to share lib, please update (4.2.14-4): https://pastebin.com/G9HnWfL4

Done. Thanks XavierCLL

Hi @eleftg, I implemented some changes: 1) added "--disable-netcdf" for use the native netcdf, because (without that) using the netcdf that have the hdf4 bring some problems and conflicts (read more https://goo.gl/ZVZDtj) 2) I made some changes for enabling share library (better than static). PKBGUILD here: https://pastebin.com/BheBm34w

Hi @eleftg, please use this adjust for linked with szlib: https://pastebin.com/iaat9jP9

Adopted, upgraded to 4.2.14 and patched configure.ac to fix the xdr error

Thank you very much for your contribution petronny!

I updated the package to include your patch.

I fixed it with

     CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fPIC" \
     LDFLAGS="-l:libjpeg.so.8 ${LDFLAGS}" \
     F77=gfortran \
+    JAVADOC='javadoc -Xdoclint:none' \
     --enable-fortran \
     --enable-production \
     --enable-java \

It's a bug with java-enviroment>8. And this patch works with java-enviroment=8. Please fix it.

I get

No idea how to fix it...

Fixed. It was a configuration issue. The hdf4 autoconf infrastructure is quite dated and on top of that the rpc headers recently passed from glibc to libtirpc, so changes were needed to the configuration script.

This package does not compile. It fails will error --enable-hdf4-xdr does not support 64bit

I'm having trouble building this package.

Problems with missing: hdf4-java/src/hdf-4.2.13/bin/missing: Unknown '--is-lightweight'

Problems with FORTRAN: gfortran: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'

But then this is what kills it: configure: error: --enable-hdf4-xdr is not supported for 64 bit mode.

Build log here --> log.txt

Also, I have:

$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-10-jdk
  java-7-openjdk
  java-8-openjdk (default)

Does it matter what java I'm using?

Doesn't build on x86_64 with following error:

configure: error: --enable-hdf4-xdr is not supported for 64 bit mode.
