[Bioc-devel] mzR build failure on Windows: missing HDF5 libraries

[Neumann, Steffen]

Hi,

Following the bug report in 
https://github.com/sneumann/mzR/issues/143

there is a branch with a fix in 
https://github.com/sneumann/mzR/pull/144

that passes Travis in 
https://travis-ci.org/sneumann/mzR/builds/324960762

which we can merge once there is a bit more testing
on other platforms. Any takers ?

Yours,
Steffen
