[netCDF #DQY-396981]: Installing NetCDF for Fortran in Visual Studio

Hello Sarah,

I'm afraid we don't provide official netcdf-fortran support for modern Visual 
Studio installs, yet (although we are hoping to have that soon).  The 
installers available from our webpage contain the  netcdf-c libraries, without 
fortran support.

What you have described sounds correct, although the precompiled netcdf-c 
libraries were built using MSVC 2010; I do not know for sure that they are 
compatible with MSVC 2013.  It may also be the case that the compiler cannot 
find the dependencies distributed with the netcdf-c install; when you ran the 
installer, you will find a folder labeled 'deps' in the same location as the 
other netcdf files.  Inside this folder are various .dll/.lib files which 
netcdf-c is dependent upon.  You may need to specify this directory under 
Linker: General: Additional Library directories.  

I hope this helps,

-Ward
