I am having problems with building h4h5tools v. 2.2.4 from source in an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (in a Docker image). I have managed to first build and install HDF4 (4.2.13, /usr/local/hdf4) and HDF5 (5-1.8.21, /usr/local/hdf5), and managed to pass the configure and make steps for h4h5tools using
/path/to/h4h5tools-2.2.4# export CC=/usr/local/hdf4/bin/h4cc
/path/to/h4h5tools-2.2.4# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/h4h5tools --with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5 && make
But make check fails
/path/to/h4h5tools-2.2.4# make check
