Cross-compiling the hdf5 from linux(debian) to windows(10)

HDF5 Library
1

Linux local compiling`s steps:
step01: ./configure
step02: make
.
At the directory ”/hdf5-1.10.5/src/“ ， generated new files, such as, H5make_libsettings(linux program), H5lib_settings.c(the file was generated by linux program).

The cross-compiling`s steps from linux to windows:
step01: ./configure --prefix=/home/xx
–host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 CPPFLAGS=-I /xx/include LDLIBRARY=-L/xx/lib
step02: make

At the directory ”/hdf5-cross-compile/src/“ ， generated new files, such as, H5make_libsettings(cross-compiling program). But when i copy the cross-compiling program to the windows,and i operate it, later,the process had generated nothing,so i`m confused,
Why ???

The work we did to support cross-compiling in HDF5-1.10.5 was done using CMake. Can you try using CMake instead of configure?

Thank you very much for your reply!

So you can sure the method of configure has not been supported by HdfGroup?
And the cross-compilings program cant generated *.c file that is normal now?
I spent much time on it, so i am looking forward to your timely reply.

How do I go about cross compiling HDF5 from linux for windows?
Is this possible with hdf5-1.10.5 ?
