We don't have a Lahey compiler, so I don't know what problems there
might be trying to build the Fortran interface for a Lahey
compiler.  I've looked back through the netCDF support mail archives,
searching for "lahey" from

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdf.html 
and
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdfgroup.html

but didn't see anyone reporting about success with this combination.
Arellano Avelino <address@hidden> posted a question about this to
the netcdfgroup mailing list in October 1998 

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdfgroup-list/1217

but there was no response.  Also Arlindo da Silva reported success
using the freely available g77 compiler for GNU Win32 platforms with
netCDF 3.4, see

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdfgroup-list/1198

The current netCDF 3.4 version compiles on Windows NT using the Visual
C++ compiler; there are a couple of warnings that can be ignored:

The current beta release of netCDF version 3.5 compiles on Windows
NT using the Visual C++ compiler.  You can get the beta release
sources from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5-beta2.ZIP

and use the Makefiles available from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.win32make.ZIP

or just get the binary for Windows NT from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.win32bin.ZIP
