Hi Tushar,

The problem probably comes from gcc expecting there to be a library file

 /usr/local/netcdf/lib/libnetcdf.a

but there is no such file in that directory, due to the way Cygwin names
library files.  Perhaps there is a libnetcdf.lib file there.  If so you
will need to manually create a symbolic link in that directory with the
command

  ln -s libnetcdf.lib libnetcdf.a

and proceed with the GMT installation.

There's a more detailed description of how to do this in the final note
on this of emails:
