These files are not found because ncconfig.h is generated in a
platform-specific way from other source files as part of the
installation of the netCDF package, when following the INSTALL
instructions available with the source distribution or from

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html

Since you are building on a Windows platform, the most important part
of the INSTALL instructions for you are:

  If you wish to build from source on a Windows (Win32) platform,
  different instructions apply. We have pre-built netCDF 3.5.0
  libraries for Win 95/98/NT, available here

    
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32bin.ZIP

  To do your own source build, get this zip file

    
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32makeVC6.ZIP
  (these make files are for Microsoft Visual C 6 and Digital Fortran
  6, you will have to modify for a different environment). Read
  WIN32_README.TXT

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/WIN32_README.TXT

   for more info.

> Thanks & Regards

You're welcome!  Thanks for using netCDF.
