[CMake] FindHDF5.cmake configuration -- finds regular, can't find HL

[Ateljevich, Eli]

Hi all,
I am supporting cmake version 2.6. I have included the latest FindHDF5.cmake file I could find in my distro ... except for one dependency that needed to be added, this seems to work fine.

When I try to find_package(HDF5 COMPONENTS ... ) it works for the C (and Fortran) component but not for the HL library or Fortran_HL. Here is the output for the C language HL variant:
-- Found HDF5: HDF5_hdf5_hl_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND;/usr/local/dms/pkg/hdf5/1.8.7-intel12.0-parallel/lib/libhdf5.a;/usr/lib64/libz.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so

Could it be cmake is looking for the unadorned libhdf5.a for the regular library and libhdf5-release or something like that for the hl library. Why the difference? If so is this a type of behavior that can be switched off?

Here are the contents of the directory, in case the issue of the HL libraries not being there comes up:
$ ls /usr/local/dms/pkg/hdf5/1.8.7-intel12.0-parallel/lib
libhdf5.a                  libhdf5_hl.a     libhdf5_hl.la
libhdf5_fortran.a   libhdf5hl_fortran.a   libhdf5.la
libhdf5_fortran.la  libhdf5hl_fortran.la  libhdf5.settings

Thanks for any insight. I realize numerous patches have been made to FindHDF5.cmake, and that I might be voiding my warranty by backwards porting it, but it sure seems like it should work for all the components if it works for two of them.

Eli
