libhdf4 (4.2r4-2) experimental; urgency=low An upstream unsupported shared edition with mixed C and Fortran functions are now provided. Note that the upstream SONAME is maintained, but the shlibs are not ABI compatible with upstream or third parties editions. This should not be a true problem, because HDF4 libraries were provided in static mode traditionally until very recent versions. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine <frankie@debian.org> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:27:01 +0100 libhdf4 (4.2r4-1) experimental; urgency=low The HDF4 libraries are now supported as shared libraries by upstream. Unfortunately that support does not include the Fortran API, which has been dropped in Debian packages. This differs from previous shlib mixed mode C/Fortran distributed packages, which were a Debian specific extension. In short terms, if you need the Fortran API you have now to build the static libraries yourself and include them with your application. A different (-alt aka alternative) flavor of the two HDF4 libraries is also provided to be compatible with an external NetCDF library and allow linking both NetCDF and HDF4 libraries within the same program. In order to use the alternative flavor you have to use -lmfhdfalt and -ldfalt instead of the usual -lmfhdf and -ldf linking items. The standard flavor is totally back-compatible and provides embedded a partial NetCDF support. See README.Debian for major information about that. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine <frankie@debian.org> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:13:21 +0100 libhdf4 (4.2r4-2) experimental; urgency=low The HDF4 libraries are now supported as shared libraries by upstream.
