Bug#1144211: libmgl-dev: cmake config tries to link to invalid hdf5-shared library

[Sylvain Joubert]

Package: libmgl-dev
Version: 8.0.3+ds.2-2+b2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: joubert.sy at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The mgl and mgl-static targets defined in
/usr/lib/cmake/mathgl2/MathGLTargets.cmake refer to a 'hdf5-shared' library as
a dependency.
However during my cmake project build that uses the mgl target I get the
following link error:

cannot find -lhdf5-shared: No such file or directory

And indeed I can't find any reference to a such a file anywhere.
The fact that the cmake config file references that library only by its name
"...;hdf5-shared;..." instead of a full path like all other dependencies in
that list looks suspicious to me.
In turn the actual library binary however depends on 'libhdf5_serial.so.320'
that I don't see in the list.

Thanks,
Sylvain
