Marco

Thank you for your heads-up, we have been building netCDF, hdf4, and hdf5 under 
Cygwin. Arlindo has been making the packages for OpenGrads. See 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/ and I have been making the 
simpler pure-unix i686-pc-cygwin for IGES 
http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html 

Recently, I have built all the GrADS SUPPLIBS for the MinGW native windows. 
Here is the configure for netCDF. 

  $ ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared --disable-f77 --enable-netcdf4 
--enable-dap --with-hdf5=/mingw --with-zlib=/mingw --with-jpeg=/mingw 
--with-szlib=/mingw --with-curl=/mingw

## --------- ##
## Platform. ##
## --------- ##

hostname = victor
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 1.0.11(0.46/3/2)
uname -s = MINGW32_NT-6.0
uname -v = 2009-07-11 17:46

You are welcome to any information we have to build either Cygwin or native 
Windows MinGW. Our most recent GrADS version used the netcdf-4.1.1-rc2, 
HDF4.2r3, and hdf5-1.8.4-patch1 packages.

The cygwin package just passed peer review, and it is available in cygwin.
I need just to make the announcement to make everyone aware.

I will consider for 4.1.2

There is no hdf4 package in cygwin. I released only hdf5 (last is 1.8.6)
