Having just gone through this, here are my notes:
Starting from
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4
download
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-4.0_dlls_snapshot2008092909.zip
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/5-181-win-vs2005.zip
(or wherever it points to - im sure there will be updates)
Unzip those and copy the following dlls to a directory in your PATH or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
Netcdf4 DLLs:
netcdf.dll
HDF5 DLLs:
hdf5_hldll.dll
hdf5dll.dll
(also see http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/windows/faq.html)
Go to ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/ and get the szip and zlib DLLS. I
took
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.1/bin/windows/szip21-vs2005-enc.zip
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin/windows/?? (missing - i have
reported to THG)
Or get zlib from http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/.
unzip to get:
szlibdll.dll
zlib1.dll
These also depend on Microsoft DLLs (typically found in C:\WINDOWS\system32),
but they will already be in your path:
kernel32.dll
msvcr80.dll
msvcrt.dll
ntdll.dll
All of these DLLs are pure win32 "unmanaged code", as opposed to .Net "managed
code". win32 will work on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems. You can also try the 64 bit
versions, but I didnt.
This is whats needed to run, details of compiling against them may differ.

Hello :-)
Are there any plans to supply compiled binaries for NetCDF 4.0 or 3.6.3
on Windows?
The latest Windows pre-built binary is 3.6.1. I try to compile 4.0 from
source, after converting the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET (2003) project
files to Visual Studio 2005.
I first of all get the off_t / int64 conflict:
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\sys\types.h(101)
: error C2632: 'long' followed by '__int64' is illegal
types.h states:
#ifndef _OFF_T_DEFINED
typedef long _off_t; /* file offset value */
#if !__STDC__
/* Non-ANSI name for compatibility */
typedef long off_t; // This is line 101
#endif
#define _OFF_T_DEFINED
#endif
Preprocessor definitions are not what I know best. But I try to define
_OFF_T_DEFINED in project settings-preprocessor definitions; then I get:
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\sys\stat.h(118)
: error C2061: syntax error : identifier '_off_t'
from line 118 and other places in stat.h.
I am not sure about what I can do with the __STDC__ flag.
Does !__STDC__ mean NOT __STDC__ (as in code), and if so, is there
somewhere I can set this property?
Among other errors, the tarball distribution is missing two header files
which are #included elsewhere in the code. Are they really missing, or
was it never the intention that the files utf8proc.h and ncdump.c should
be read, or #included these two files?
1>c:\program files\netcdf-4.0\libsrc\utf8proc.h(79) : fatal error C1083:
Cannot open include file: 'inttypes.h': No such file or directory
2>c:\program files\netcdf-4.0\ncdump\ncdump.c(9) : fatal error C1083:
Cannot open include file: 'unistd.h': No such file or directory
Where shoud the symbol TEMP_LARGE be defined? (undeclared identifier)
If someone knows that building NetCDF on Windows using MSVC 2005 is
hopeless, please let me know and I won't break my neck on it. But if
this somehow "should work", I can continue trying, but I need some
assistance.
I have pre-built HDF5-1.8.1 installed (works :-), but I might be missing
some environment variables or compiler settings.
