Hello, It is true that the netCDF Fortran library isn't supported on Windows yet, although we know anecdotally that it can be built. We hope to support this in the future. I don't believe that software linked against the gnu C runtime can be used against software that is compiled with the Microsoft C runtime. We do provide pre-built C libraries, available from https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/winbin.html . I hope this helps! -Ward > Hello, > > I’d like to use the NetCDF Fortran library for a project using Visual Studio > and the Intel Fortran compiler in Windows 10. > > Option A: > From the online documentation, it appears that the NetCDF Fortran library is > not supported for a 64-bit Windows platform.
