If I run cmake -G Xcode -D HDF_CFG_NAME:STRING="Debug" ..,
I get 547 lines of these repeating messages:

CMake Error in src/CMakeLists.txt:
  The custom command generating

    /Users/hyoklee/src/hdf5/build/src/gen_SRCS.stamp1

  is attached to multiple targets:

    gen_hdf5-static
    gen_hdf5-shared

  but none of these is a common dependency of the other(s).  This is not
  allowed by the Xcode "new build system".

Use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE

[hyoklee]

Can you make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE not required?

[byrnHDF]

No. CMake required.

[hyoklee]

How about this?

This is the same issue I tripped over on Windows when using the CMake GUI. @byrnHDF is working on a fix.

[byrnHDF]

This should be fixed for both windows and xcode, if someone can verify.

[hyoklee]

@byrnHDF , please add this Action https://github.com/hyoklee/hdf5/blob/develop/.github/workflows/mac-xcode.yml

This is no longer a problem as of 1.14.3
