Details

The *.pc files explicitly include the version number, e.g 'hdf5_hl-1.12.0.pc'. This requires to update build files of libraries that use hdf5 for each version update of HDF5. In addition, it breaks dependencies in HDF5 itself: 'pkg-config --libs hdf5_hl-1.12.0' gives an error message 'Package 'hdf5', required by 'hdf5_hl-1.12.0', not found'.

Are there any reasons against using the 'non-versioned' names, e.g. 'hdf5_hl' for the most recent HDF5 version? That seems to be the standard for pkg-config (but I know that HDF5 itself does some non-standard ways when it comes to versioning).

Note: I fill the same report to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/hdf5. It uses a very similar PKGBUILD.

I've implemented in the AUR package 'hdf5-openmpi-java' the following changes:

- install -Dm644 ../build/CMakeFiles/hdf5{,_hl}{,_cpp}-${pkgver}.pc -t "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
+ install -Dm644 ../build/CMakeFiles/hdf5-${pkgver}.pc -D "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5.pc
+ install -Dm644 ../build/CMakeFiles/hdf5_hl-${pkgver}.pc -D "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5_hl.pc
+ install -Dm644 ../build/CMakeFiles/hdf5_cpp-${pkgver}.pc -D "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5_cpp.pc
+ install -Dm644 ../build/CMakeFiles/hdf5_hl_cpp-${pkgver}.pc -D "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5_hl_cpp.pc

I will also report to the upstream developers, including the version string in the filename seems to oppose the purpose of using pkconfig.

Fixed upstream in 1.12.1, and thus in our package too now.
