I don't think you need to bother with putting the above in a file, if
you can run the "configure" script that's in the top-level src/ directory
(the same one containing the INSTALL) file.  How you set the values of
the environment variables like CC, CFLAGS, ..., CXX depends on what
"shell" you are using.  If you are using "csh" (usually gives a "%"
prompt), you need to do something like this (where I include the
prompts), assuming you are in the top-level netcdf src/ directory:

 % setenv CPPFLAGS -Df2cFortran
 % setenv CC /usr/bin/cc
 % setenv CFLAGS -g
 % setenv FC /usr/bin/fort77
 % setenv FFLAGS '-g -Nx400 -w'
 % setenv CXX /usr/bin/c++
 % ./configure
   [... expect output from configure]

If you are using "ksh" or "sh" or "bash" for your shell (usually gives a
"$" prompt), you need to do something like this instead (where I again
include the prompts):

 $ export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
 $ export CC=/usr/bin/cc
 $ export CFLAGS=-g
 $ export FC=/usr/bin/fort77
 $ export FFLAGS='-g -Nx400 -w'
 $ export CXX=/usr/bin/c++
 $ ./configure
   [... expect output from configure]

If this seems to work, it will generate some files so you can just
invoke

 make all
 make test
 make install

(where I have left off the shell prompts, since how you invoke make
doesn't depend on what shell you are using).

I hope this helps.
