Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] including hdf5

[Joachim Schleicher]

Hallo Alois,
I would like to have hdf5 available in mxe as well.
But when trying your Makefile for hdf5, configure wants to use the
native gcc compiler instead of the cross-compiler:

Compiling Options:
------------------
               Compilation Mode:
production                                                                      
           

                     C Compiler: /usr/bin/gcc

Attached is the configure log.
Is your build detecting the cross-compiler i686-pc-mingw32-gcc?

And: If I change your Makefile to use --host='$(TARGET)' instead of
CHOST, I get the following error:
configure: error: in `/home/njls/devel/mxe/tmp-hdf5/hdf5-1.8.8':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling

Best regards
Joachim
