Installing and Using netCDF-C Libraries in Windows {#winbin}
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
\brief NetCDF-C Libraries in a Windows Environment may be used under multiple sets of circumstances.
|
|
|
|
[TOC]
|
|
|
|
There are several development environments available for programmers who develop on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* `Microsoft Visual Studio `
|
|
* `MSYS/MinGW`
|
|
* `Cygwin`
|
|
|
|
For developers using `Microsoft Visual Studio`, you may download using the Windows build instructions, or you may download the pre-built netCDF-C libraries from this page.
|
|
|
|
For developers using `MSYS/MinGW` or `Cygwin`, you may build netCDF-C using the Linux/Unix build instructions.
|
|
|
|
> For complex builds that include netCDF-4 and/or DAP support this may prove tricky, as it is time consuming to collect all of the dependencies. In these cases it may be easier to use the pre-built `netcdf` packages provided by the `MSYS` and `Cygwin` environments.
|
|
|
|
Users who prefer to build the netCDF-C libraries from source in a Windows environment using Microsoft Visual Studio are referred to \ref netCDF-CMake
|
|
|
|
# Getting pre-built netCDF-C Libraries for Visual Studio {#msvc-prebuilt}
|
|
|
|
These libraries have been built using Visual Studio 2012. The downloads are installer packages which contain the netCDF-C libraries and utilities (ncgen, ncgen3, ncdump and nccopy), as well as the associated dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Included Dependencies {#msvc-inc-deps}
|
|
|
|
The included dependencies and versions are as follows:
|
|
|
|
* `libhdf5`: 1.8.15
|
|
* `libcurl`: 7.35.0
|
|
* `zlib`: 1.2.8
|
|
|
|
## Latest Release (netCDF-C major.minor.point) {#msvc-latest-release}
|
|
|
|
Configuration | 32-bit | 64-bit |

# Using the netCDF-C Libraries with Visual Studio {#msvc-using}
|
|
|
|
In order to use the netcdf libraries, you must ensure that the .dll files (along with any dependencies from deps/shared/bin) are on the system path. In order to compile a program using these libraries, you must first link your program against the appropriate 'import' (.lib) libraries.
|
|
|
|
## Install Hierarchy {#msvc-install-hierarchy}
|
|
|
|
When installed, the netCDF libraries are placed in the specified locations, along with the netCDF-C utilities and dependencies.

# Notes {#msvc-notes}
|
|
|
|
*The following points should be considered when using the netCDF-C libraries on Windows.*
|
|
|
|
1. When building the netCDF-C libraries with netCDF4 support, using the `Debug` libraries may cause extraneous warnings. These warnings are related to cross-dll memory management, and appear to be harmless. You can safely ignore them by using the `Release` libraries. [NCF-220]
