Why the need for a Pkg-Config dependency on a CMake builld ?Pkg-Config is available for Windows as well; it was initially carried over as part of the conversion from autotools based builds. The failure to find pkg-config.exe on Windows is not a fatal error; the build should continue. I believe the original idea was to have the cmake-based build use pkg-config (when available) to generate the appropriate files to make netcdf more visible to other projects via pkg-config. This is likely unnecessary; I will evaluate if we still need it, and what it would take to complete that functionality.
If you do end up using pkg-config, instead of: INCLUDE (${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake) do: FIND_PACKAGE(PkgConfig QUIET)This will make it silent in the case of not finding it. But it doesn't look like you make use of it at the moment.
