It's

find_package(HDF5 REQUIRED)

The keyword REQUIRED is not necessarily required.

In general, if you look at the documentation for FindXXX, you can import it with find_package(XXX).

Thanks for your answer, I just wonder why this FindHDF5 does not work on its own ? cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/FindHDF5.html

It's this one, but it's not a function you can call like this :) Not so intuitive, I agree.
