Howdy Mina!

Compiling on windows is always a challenge.

If you get the latest visual studio (2008), you can just open the solution file
distributed with the netCDF source code, in directory win32/NET. Then build the
C interface and call the C functions from C++.

The netCDF C++ API has never been ported to Windows, so you probably just want
to stick with C.

Get the snapshot netCDF distribution to get the working visual studio solution
file:
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Ed
