Hi Allen
"BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF" should only control the library under build, not
how
it is linked to CRT libraries. Which is Ward's understanding as well.
yes, my mistake
We have implemeted this with our "UserOptions" cmake hooks. Feel free to
use
the same technique.
where can I find these "UserOptions" documentation?
I am using hdf5-1.8.11.
I guess you mean this was added to the svn repo after hdf5-1.8.11?
how to get the svn repo ?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'the projects would be static CRT'. The
file netcdf.lib would be a static library, but not a CRT. The Microsoft
C Run-Time Libraries (CRT) are a specific set of system libraries,
enumerated here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh(v=vs.100).aspx
It is possible to compile the netCDF library as a static object (a
standard 'ar' archive) that still has dependencies on shared libraries,
such as the hdf5 or libcurl dll's.
In the current system up to netCDF-C 4.3.1-rc2, netCDF was being built
statically, with a dependency on the shared CRT libraries. With the
changes previously described, it will be possible to (easily) build the
netCDF library and utilities statically, with a dependency on the static
CRT libraries.
In either case, the netCDF library and utilities are static; the
difference is in which library (CRT) was being linked against.
I hope this clarifies things; the new option (NC_USE_STATIC_CRT) is
being added and should be in the upcoming 4.3.1-rc3 release.
