Azita,

Neither C++ nor Windows are on the top of Unidata's priority list, not to 
mention the combination. It appears that something is about to change at least 
with the C++ part, I think there is a completely rewritten C++ interface 
somewhere in incubation.

But I did successfully use the prebuilt 3.6.1 under Visual Studio for some 
time, and I also believe I managed to build netcdf.dll 3.6.2. In both cases, I 
built the C++ interface into my main program, rather than forcing it into the 
netcdf.dll.  If I remember correctly, there were only five files to include. I 
actually wrote and sent a recipe to the NetCDF list, see 
http://osdir.com/ml/lib.netcdf/2006-12/msg00000.html

Now with NetCDF 4, it is a different story, I have not succeeded to build it 
under Visual Studio, and I get some errors I don't understand a word of.

Good l,uck,

Dear all,

I am a newbie here and I am totally confused about  installing  netCDF on 
Visual Studio 2008 C++  Windows 7.
I downloaded the rebuilt dll from:

 
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.6.1-beta1-win32dll.zip.

as it was mentioned in the document and copy it to the Windows/Systems 32 
directory.

The confusing part is this sentence in the installation document:

"Note: we don't have a C++ interface here"

Does it mean that I can not even run the simple .cpp examples that mentioned in 
 the website?
Or did I miss some installation steps in between?

I am so grateful if any one can provide me an easy to follow  step by step 
installation for this case.

Thanks,
Azita
