To turn off the C++ build, use configure option --disable-cxx, or set environment variable CXX to null. You should still build the latest release. If you don't want to have the HDF5 part, use configure option --disable-netcdf-4. In that case you will get the latest version of the core library without the netCDF-4/HDF5 extensions. There have been bug fixes to the classic library that you want to take advantage of.
