Environment variables are set in your shell.  In the particular case of
building the netCDF package, they should be set prior to invoking the
configure script.  For example, if using an sh-derived shell, then you
might do the following:

    $ CPPFLAGS=-D_HPUX_SOURCE export CPPFLAGS
    $ CC=/bin/c89 export CC
    $ CFLAGS= export CFLAGS
    $ FC=/usr/bin/fort77 export FC
    $ FFLAGS=-w FFLAGS
    $ CXX=/usr/bin/CC export CXX
    $ ./configure >configure.log 2>&1

or, equivalently,

    $ CPPFLAGS=-D_HPUX_SOURCE CC=/bin/c89 CFLAGS= FC=/usr/bin/fort77 \
    FFLAGS=-w FFLAGS CXX=/usr/bin/CC ./configure >configure.log 2>&1

Or, if using a csh-derived shell, then you might do the following:

    % setenv CPPFLAGS -D_HPUX_SOURCE
    % setenv CC /bin/c89
    % setenv CFLAGS ''
    % setenv FC /usr/bin/fort77
    % setenv FFLAGS -w FFLAGS
    % setenv CXX /usr/bin/CC
    % ./configure >&! configure.log

See your shell's manual page for more information on environment
variables.
