We have never ported the C++ API to windows, only the C API. However, we think that if you build from source using the cygwin developoment environment, you can build the C++ interface. To build with cygwin, you can follow the same procedure as with Linux: http://mailman.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Platform-Notes.html#Platform-Notes We have plans to make DLLs available for the next release using cygwin.
