CMake required version (hdf 1.8.11)

Hdf-forum archives
1

The CMakeLists.txt that come with hdf5-1.8.11 specify cmake version 2.8.10 while the current version of Cygwin cmake is only 2.8.9 . I changed my copy of the hdf CMakeLists.txt to use 2.8.9 and it seems to compile and link okay; is there some reason I shouldn't be using cmake 2.8.9?

Thanks,
Gerard

On cygwin, your're probably ok with 2.8.9. We specify 2.8.10 because of the Mac
improvements to CMake. We will most likely stay on CMake 2.8.10.2 for the
upcoming 1.8.12 release, as I have yet to evaluate the 2.8.11 release.

Hi Gerard,
I built a hdf5-1.8.11 package for cygwin some months ago using
autoconf/automake but never uploaded as official package as I
found really annoying che continuos API ( LT_VERS_INTERFACE )
bump in hdf5

hdf5-1.6.10-1 -> SoRevision =0

(not checked in the middle)

hdf5-1.8.6-1 -> SoRevision =6
hdf5-1.8.7-1 -> SoRevision =7
..
hdf5-1.8.10-1 -> SoRevision =7
hdf5-1.8.11-1 -> SoRevision =8

Could someone clarify me why the API version is continuously changing ?
It is real or not ?

I just noted that Debian left it to 7 for 1.8.11-3

Regards
Marco
