Hello Suresh,

If you are building gcc or msys on Windows, you could configure netCDF as 
normal on Linux.  If you are building for Visual Studio, you need to use 
`cmake` to generate a Visual Studio project.  You would need to first install 
zlib, and then assign the cmake variable `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` to the root 
directory containing zlib.dll.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
