NetCDF-C for Windows
NetCDF for New Users2012
Friday, October 26, 12
OverviewFocus of this discussion is on building and using netCDF-C on Windows.
Multiple Windows development environments:
Cygwin
MSYS/MinGW
Visual Studio
We will focus on using CMake to build Visual-Studio compatible netCDF-C libraries.

Getting netCDF-CLatest Stable release (4.2.1.1):

Latest Developer Snapshot:
svn co http://svn.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/netcdf/trunk

Getting CMakehttp://www.cmake.org
Current version is 2.8.9.
netCDF-C requires at least CMake 2.8.8
The CMake download comes with both command line and GUI tools.

Using the CMake GUIThe source directory and the build directory are typically two distinct locations.
Step 1) Set locations.
Step 2) Configure

Using the CMake GUICMake will ask you to specify which ‘Generator’ to use.
Different makefile-based builds.
Visual Studio builds, specific to desired architecture.
6Friday, October 26, 12
Using the CMake GUIHere we see an error; DAP is enabled by default, but the required curl libraries couldn’t be located.
7Friday, October 26, 12
Using the CMake GUIUnder ‘enable’ options, we uncheck ‘ENABLE_DAP’, then re-run ‘configure’.
8Friday, October 26, 12
Using the CMake GUIConfiguration was successful.
Next, we generate the project files.

Compiling CMake-generated Visual Studio ProjectsOn Windows, shared libraries are not linked against directly.
‘Import Libraries’ are instead used.
What if we wanted to do this from the command line?
