I had to make the following changes in order to get this package building:

   cd CMake-hdf5-${pkgver}

   ctest -S HDF5config.cmake,BUILD_GENERATOR=Unix,INSTALLDIR=/opt/${pkgname} -C Release -V -O hdf5.log
   #./build-unix.sh
   cd build

It seem hdf5 must be not be installed or the tests fails like @jorenko experienced.

Same error as @jorenko as well. hdf5utils not installed in my case, so not sure how to proceed.

I had a similar problem as @jorenko, however, when I uninstalled the hdf5utils packages finally I could install this correctly. It appears that there is a problem with some libraries installed with the another package.

Here's the relevant portion of the LastTest*.log from the first failure:

-- COMMAND: /space/yay/hdf5110/src/CMake-hdf5-1.10.7/build/bin/testhdf5_fortran CMake Error at /space/yay/hdf5110/src/CMake-hdf5-1.10.7/hdf5-1.10.7/config/cmake_ext_mod/runTest.cmake:81 (string): string sub-command REGEX, mode MATCH needs at least 5 arguments total to command.

I'm failing to compile this, currently. All dependencies are up to date. This is the end of the output from makepkg:
