Hello,

I see that you also posted this question on Stack Overflow, at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29548615/configure-netcdf-on-visual-studio.  
The answer by Ame Anderson is correct; the C library does not use namespaces.  
Our C++ interface, which does support namespaces, is not currently supported 
officially on Windows.  I am actively working on this support currently; you 
may monitor the progress on our github site if you like.  This is available at 
http://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4.  For the time being, however, you cannot 
use the netcdf namespace.  

I hope this helps,

-Ward
