So, I got some help of an experienced colleque, which as well knows C/C++:
"make test" still fails. The error message still was present as we changed the file, which it is checking in the source code (subNOdef.h5) after new building of with "make".
BUT
I still could use the "nxvalidate -l appdefdir datafile" command to succesfully. The datafile was created by the FAIRmat project as well as our own extensions of the NeXus definitions.

This tool was very helpful, as it showed some lower level problems we have with our generated files.
