Building and Installing NetCDF on Windows

The netCDF library is implemented as a Windows dynamic link library (DLL).

To install a DLL, you just have to leave it in some directory, and (possibly) tell your  
compiler in which directory to look for it.

Similarly, you will need to put the header file, netcdf.h, somewhere that you compiler  
can find it.

In the Windows world, you set this in the project properties dialog box  
of your integrated development environment.

The standard place to put DLLs is Windows\\System32 folder (for Windows2000/XP)  
or the Windows\\System folder (for Windows 98/ME). If you put the DLL there, along with

the ncgen and ncdump executables, you will be able to use the DLL and utilities without  
further work, because compilers already look there for DLLs and EXEs.

Instead of putting the DLL and EXEs into the system directory, you can leave them  
wherever you want, and every development project that uses the dll will have to be told  
to search the netCDF directory when it’s linking, or, the chosen directory can be added to  
your path.  
On the .NET platform, you can also try to use the **global assembly cache**. (To learn  
how, see MSDN topic “Global Assembly Cache”, at www.msdn.microsoft.com).
