collect2 linking error when executing make

[Simon]

Dear all,

First of all, I wish you a happy and prosperous new year 2023!

I transferred my dealii project to a different computer and 

encounter an linking error (command make) after setting up 

the project (command cmake .).

The error message is attached.

What is the problem?

Simon,

Make sure that you do not transfer any temporary files
(CMakeCache.txt, CMakeFiles/ etc.) but that you start from a fresh
source directory. The error message hints at the fact that your new
system does not have hdf5 installed.

I started from an empty source directory with only a CMakeLists.txt file. 

I do not need hdf5. 

At least I was not aware that I had it on my old computer.

Is there a way to work around the issue?

I called cmake as follows

$ cmake -DDEAL_II_WITH_HDF5=OFF .

and get the additional lines

//No help, variable specified on the command line.
DEAL_II_WITH_HDF5:UNINITIALIZED=OFF

in my CMakeCache.txt file.

However, after 

$ make 

the error message is unchanged.

How did you install deal.II on your new machine? Note that the HDF5
configuration is part of deal.II and not your user project.

deal.II was installed using spack.

Do I have to recompile the whole library with

$ cmake -DDEAL_II_WITH_HDF5=OFF?

Simon, I believe you shouldn't pass the "-DDEAL_II_WITH_HDF5=OFF" to cmake to begin with.
