> I am hoping to use the netcdf f90 interface on a windows machine running the
intel fortran compiler v9.1 (installed together with MS Visual Studio 2005).  I
am used to using Linux and have successfully used netcdf f90 there for several
years in a variety of codes, but now I need to be able to port my code to
windows (I am new to programming in a windows environment).  I have looked at
the precompiled binaries available online but the latest releases do not
include the f90 or even f77 interfaces, and I can't even get the f77 interface
to work on my machine from the older releases (for example,
netcdf-3.5.1-win32dll.zip is recommended, but it does not include the
netcdf.lib file needed for linking).  The only windows fortran implementation
that has worked so far is the one from a user contribution:

Howdy!

What you want has been done (for a 3.6.1 beta release). See here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#windows_ifort_f90

NetCDF is supported by only one full-time programmer (though we are about to go
to two) and support netCDF F90 on windows has not yet me squeezed into my work
schedule! ;-)

If I was going to try it I would think that doing it within cygwin would be
easiest. (NetCDF builds out of the box on cygwin).

NetCDF is a community supported free software product, and we ask that any
porting you make to new platforms be made available to the community.

If you can reduce the build process to a configuration file and a set of
instructions, with a pre-built set of binaries, I would be delighted to make
that available to other users!

Thanks!

Ed
