# NeXus' C++ API wraps the C "napi" layer and calls only the HDF5 C API
# (no <H5Cpp.h> / H5:: usage in the tree), but CMakeLists requires the
# HDF5 CXX component (libhdf5_cpp) under ENABLE_CXX. That pulls in
# sci-libs/hdf5[cxx], which collides with hdf5's REQUIRED_USE
# at-most-one-of( cxx mpi ) on mpi-enabled systems. Require only the C +
# HL components that are actually linked. verified 2026-06-21.
