Summary0015139: The CMake build system for building the third part library - HDF5, does not work in cross-compile mode
DescriptionThe build system for HDF5, executes compiled code that generates new source files which are then also built into the library. This fails in cross-compile mode if the target binaries cannot be executed on the host machine. (Interestingly, because of the use of redirection '>' the source files are still generated though they are empty. If 'make' is run again the build continues but this will result in linker errors later).

The culprit programs are:
1) H5make_libsettings which generates H5lib_settings.c
2) H5detect which generates H5Tinit.c

Following are the errors generated:

Scanning dependencies of target H5make_libsettings
[ 65%] Building C object ThirdParty/hdf5/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/H5make_libsettings.dir/H5make_libsettings.c.o

make[1]: *** [ThirdParty/hdf5/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

A possible fix would be to do the system introspection and code generation through cmake facilities instead of relying on compiled code.

A workaround for this is to use the system provided version of the library where available.
