Hello,

While we don't currently support NetCDF-Fortran on Windows with Visual Studio, 
I'll be happy to take a look at the log file generated by configure to see if I 
can figure out what happened.  Honestly, I'm not even sure that the autotools 
build system (autoconf, automake) work with Visual Studio, but I could be 
mistaken.  You might try using the 'cmake'-based build system, but as 
previously mentioned this is not officially supported, yet.

Cmake may be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org.

if you'll provide the config.log file generated when 'configure' was run, I'll 
look through it and see if anything leaps out at me.

Thanks, and have a happy new year!
