[netCDF #VPI-824813]: linking failing for netcdf-cxx4.lib for c++ lib

Hello Suresh,

I am not certain why it would have compiled the shared library, but would have 
failed to build the import library, netcdf-cxx4.lib.  You might try building 
the library statically, e.g. pass '-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF' to cmake, and then 
see if netcdf-cxx4.lib is generated when you build.  If so, you should be able 
to link against this library and not worry about a shared .dll.  If not, it 
indicates a larger issue.  I don't have access to VS2010, unfortunately, but I 
will see if I can recreate this issue in my Windows environment.
