  • This method of installation uses a custom binary distribution of
    Windows libraries that the previous pyhdf maintainer provided. The
    binary distribution contained hdf4 and all it's dependencies (zlib,
    libjpeg, and szip). These libraries are most likely outdated at this
    point and there is no 64-bit version. I have no plans on updating them.

  • This removes use of the environment variable HDF4, which must be set
    to the directory containing the above mentioned binary distribution.
    conda-build sets it to the HDF4 version 4.2, which makes builds fail.
    (see Update to 0.10.0 conda-forge/pyhdf-feedstock#20 (comment))

  • You can still use the custom binary distribution if you really wanted
    by setting the environment variables LIBRARY_DIRS and INCLUDE_DIRS
    appropriately, but I don't recommend using them anymore.

  • The "quick install" for Windows right now is to use conda-forge pyhdf
    build.

to the directory containing the above mentioned binary distribution.
