[netCDF #ORG-563735]: netCDF General - Problems compiling examples

> Institution: CATIE
> Package Version: 3.6.1
> Operating System: Windows XP
> Hardware Information: PC
> Inquiry: Hi,

> I've recently downloaded the netcdf binaries (version 3.6.1), in order to
build an application to write netcdf data in the Windows XP platform.
> I tried to build one of the c++ examples from the Unidata web page, but
simply I can't make it work.
> Under Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++.NET, both from the IDE and the
command-line compiler, I get the following message:

> I included the static library (netcdf.lib) in the code but it's just the
same. I figured out that the problem could be the static library, so I tried to
build it, using the source code, but I had problems with the header file
config.h, which is neither in my system nor in the source code provided.

> I found a reply from James Garnett explaining that command-line compiler
could do, but I can't simply introduce the right options to the linker in order
to fix this. I thought executing the linker as: "link /DEFAULTLIB:netcdf.lib
simple_xy_wr.obj" would work, but it doesn't.

Howdy Luis!

The netCDF C++ API has never been ported to Visual Studio.

The C API has been, and you may find the VS solution file in the win32/NET
directory of the netCDF source distribution.

The DLL contains the C API, and you may use that from C++, or you may port the
C++ API (which should not be too hard for someone that knows visual studio
well).

Thanks,
Ed
