The netCDF version 4.2.1.1 release from last summer didn't contain the CMake 
solution for building
on Windows, which was only available at the time from a separate web page with 
instructions for 
installing binary releases built from CMake:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/CompileCMake.html

However, the CMake support for building the netCDF C library on Windows has now 
been integrated 
into a release candidate, netCDF-4.3-rc3, available from:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-rc

with instructions for building here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc/winbin.html

I hope that helps ...
