Dear all,May be I should have posted this to netcdfgroup as there are so many users desperate to have a Windows 64/32 bit NetCDF DLL (and so was I recently). Anyway, this mailing list might be a better place as my post fully conforms to its topic.
In short: The NetCDF library version 4.1.3 does compile under both 32 and 64 bit Windows using MinGW and MinGW-w64 and does successfully pass all standard tests included in the source code distribution; ‘make check’ output of both 32 and 64 bit is available through the http link below. The changes in the original source code are minimal and can be performed in a semi-automatic mode.
What I have built is a rather minimalistic library configuration that does not include: Fortran and C++ interfaces (just only C), hdf5, version 2 of the API, and DAP. Both the NetCDF classic format and the 64-bit offset format are fully supported.
There is hope that the porting approach I suggest can be used to compile a full-fledged version, including the newly released NetCDF library version 4.2 from which I originally started, but as it was not yet released that time, I switched back to 4.1.3.
Here is the documentation including the download links I prepared for those interested: http://iiasa.ac.at/~khabarov/netcdf-win64-and-win32-mingw/ Best regards, Nikolay -- Dr. Nikolay Khabarov Ecosystems Services and Management Program International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis
