 `HDF5` is more complex, since it requires both the `hdf5` and `hdf5_hl` libraries. You would specify custom `HDF5` libraries as follows:
 
-        $ cmake [Source Directory] -DHDF5_LIB=/path/to/hdf5.lib \
-            -DHDF5_HL_LIB=/path/to/hdf5_hl.lib \

 You will, of course, need to use the location of the libraries specific to your development environment.
