Linking issue with shared libraries in VS2012 applications HDF5 1.8.16

I am trying to build and use HDF5 1.8.16 using Thread-safety and shared
libraries.

1.8.15.1 works well, but I miss the option to check if the library is
thread-safe.

When I try to use 1.8.16, I get 5 unresolved external that are located in
h5tpublic.h

I am including "hdf5.h", compiling the app works but it fails at linking.

LNK2001 unresolved external symbol
_H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR_g
_H5T_NATIVE_USHORT_g
_H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE_g
_H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_ID_g

Anyone felt into that trap already ? Any clue or sollution ?

Regards,
Karl

Karl, how are you? I believe I ran into the same issue. It turns out that
you need the following preprocessor definition when compiling the source files:

H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB=1

Let me know how that goes!

Best, G.
