[netCDF #NEJ-631633]: Error while building with CMake

Hello,

If you are interested, you can download pre-built binaries (complete with 
dependencies such as hdf5.dll) from 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/winbin.html.  The latest 
release candidate may be downloaded from 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc/winbin.html.  If you want 
to continue building from source, you should be able to pass 
'-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Vaisala\BLView\NetCDF4\HDF5_BUILD' to correct this 
error.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
