Fink builds netcdf dylibs - either use Fink to build it and install
it or take a look at their makefile. Here is a partial listing from
my /sw/lib, where Fink puts libraries:
libnetcdf.3.5.0.dylib
libnetcdf.3.6.0.dylib
libnetcdf.3.dylib
libnetcdf.a
libnetcdf.dylib
libnetcdf_c++.3.6.0.dylib
libnetcdf_c++.3.dylib
libnetcdf_c++.a
libnetcdf_c++.dylib

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone here has built netcdf 3.6.0p1 as a dynamic
shared library (.dylib), as opposed to a static library (.a) on Mac OS
X? (10.4 and gcc 4 to be exact).
I ask because static libraries, at least on OS X, do not work well
across different compilers or even compiler versions. As an example,
several 3rd party libraries that I use built with gcc 3.3 will not link
in a gcc 4 application. And so I am investigating building all
libraries as dynamic instead of static.
I am not very familiar with the configure/make build system, but for
other 3rd party libs that I use, I was able to build as dynamic like so:
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static
make
This only works in those packages which use libtool, a tool which
helps build dynamic libraries.
This feature is included in netCDF-4.
For netCDF-3 you are looking for the settings for environmental
variables which will build netCDF as a shared library. I'm sorry, but
I don't know what those settings are for a Mac.
Good luck,
Ed
