[netCDF #VSI-534627]: netcdf build, test for hdf4 fails

Hi Johannes,

From the warning messages compiling tst_interops2.c, it appears you have built 
the HDF4
library with support for netCDF-2 APIs, which causes name clashes in macro 
definitions:

  In file included from /usr/include/hdf/hdf.h:21:0,
                   from /usr/include/hdf/mfhdf.h:25,
                   from tst_interops2.c:11:
  /usr/include/hdf/hlimits.h:197:0: Warnung: »MAX_NC_DIMS« redefiniert 
[standardmäßig aktiviert]
../include/netcdf.h:1729:0: Anmerkung: dies ist die Stelle der vorherigen 
Definition
  /usr/include/hdf/hlimits.h:198:0: Warnung: »MAX_NC_VARS« redefiniert 
[standardmäßig aktiviert]
../include/netcdf.h:1731:0: Anmerkung: dies ist die Stelle der vorherigen 
Definition

You will have to rebuild the HDF4 library with the configure option 
--disable-netcdf, as explained
here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/build_hdf4.html

Then rebuild the netCDF-4.3.0 library as you have done and it should work.  If 
it doesn't, please
send the config.log file from the netCDF-4 build.
