Cross compiling HDF5

Hello,

I'm trying to cross compile HDF5 on ARM to be able to build Scilab on ARM too.
Sadly, the configure step fails with the following error.

configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details

I understand that there is a problem with the tests. So is it possible
to disable them in a way or another so that the configure step passes
without any troubles? Even if the configure step fails I can still run
`make' but it does not take care of the parameters that i have given
to the configure script before running make. I suppose that this is
due to the failure of the configure step.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I don't think ARM is officially supported by HDF5:

http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/platforms5.html

However, I'm really interested in hearing a success story if anyone
ported HDF5 on ARM. Also, I'm curious if there's any open source
project for porting HDF5 on ARM.

Well I know that Debian did it.
They propose a package of HDF5 for ARM but they do not use cross
compilation as far as I know.
