new macos issue

[hainm]

Hi

I am trying with
bash configure -shared -macAccelerate -noarpack -nosanderlib clang

Then I picked n for the answer but getting error:

  Checking NetCDF4/HDF5:   
Checking HDF5:   Checking for bundled HDF5: Should CPPTRAJ attempt to build its own hdf5? {y|n}: n
Error: Building HDF5 failed.

I think the error is misleading since I picked a No answer.

If I pick y for the answer, I get another error

curl -O https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/archive/refs/tags/hdf5-1_10_9.tar.gz

I don’t think above work correctly.

Checking HDF5: Checking for bundled HDF5: Should CPPTRAJ attempt to build its own hdf5? {y|n}: n

This is expected behavior. Since HDF5 is enabled by default, if you don't download and build it there is no HDF5, hence a failure. You need to explicitly disable it with -nohdf5.

Error: Could not unpack hdf5-1_10_9.tar.gz

Ugh. This is because wget follows redirects by default and curl does not. I need to add the -L flag to the curl command.

Thanks. IMO, the error message should be clearer. (e.g: user say "no build" but cpptraj says "build failure").

yeah, this helps. Thanks.

@hainm I forgot to mention that I changed some of the error messages in #1019 - let me know if they are clearer now.

[hainm]

Yes, much clearer. Thanks.
