I am very glad you are taking this on. I maintain one of the GrADS win32
builds and have been building netcd-4 on cygwin for several years now. I am
glad to report that the full netcdf-4 builds works flawlessly on cygwin.
Would you consider adding
--enable-dap
to your configure? Also, enabling HDF-4 will make your build very useful as
one would be able to transparently read HDF-4 files. The option in this case
is:
--enable-hdf4
(although this last option is not necessary for GrADS). When building hdf-4
it is useful to specify
--disable-netcdf
(or at least have a version of the library with this option.) Having a full
build would allow the full power of NetCDF-4 to be enjoyed on Windows as
well. This is very important given the plethora of file formats one has to
contend with these days.
Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help
with.
