Are you following these instructions for building with Visual Studio?

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/winbin.html#msvc-using

They require using cmake rather than configure. You can also just download
the netCDF-4.3.3.1 C library and utilities prebuilt with HDF5, zlib, and curl:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/winbin.html#msvc-prebuilt

If you're using using MSYS/MinGW or Cygwin, you can build netCDF-C using 
configure with the the Linux/Unix build instructions, instead of cmake:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html#sub

If you have problems with this, please send us the config.log file generated
by running the configure script.
