[netCDF #VFM-345423]: Bug report

Hi Philip,

Thank you for the bug report.   Did you specify the 'USE_SZIP=ON' option when 
configuring netcdf?  This will tell cmake to explicitly search for the szip 
libraries.

The other libraries are a bit more difficult at this point; in my tests I had 
used a shared libcurl, which the passes the upstream dependencies to cmake.  
Since you are using static libraries, there is no way for cmake to determine 
what additional dependencies are required.  With autotools-based builds you can 
specify additional libraries to link against via the LIBS="-l<library>" 
directive, but I am unaware of an equivalent for cmake.

In the short term, you may need to build the dependent libraries as shared 
libraries, or use a pre-built binary package available from 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/win_netcdf.  These installers also have the 
dependencies in them, so it should be possible to link against the dependencies 
when you build netcdf; this will let you avoid rebuilding libhdf5, libcurl, 
etcdf.

Our netcdf-fortran package has an option, NC_EXTRA_DEPS, which is analogous to 
'LIBS' when autotools.  I expect I will add the same option to netcdf-c for the 
upcoming 4.3.3 release.  So another option may be to keep an eye out for the 
4.3.3 release, or watch our development branch 
(http://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c); I will try to have this option committed 
today.

I hope this helps,
