00001 Installing and Using netCDF-C Libraries in Windows {#winbin} 00002 ================================================== 00003 00004 \brief NetCDF-C Libraries in a Windows Environment may be used under multiple sets of circumstances. 00005 00006 \tableofcontents 00007 00008 There are several development environments available for programmers who develop on Windows. 00009 00010 * `Microsoft Visual Studio ` 00011 * `MSYS/MinGW` 00012 * `Cygwin` 00013 00014 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. 00015 00016 For developers using `MSYS/MinGW` or `Cygwin`, you may build netCDF-C using the Linux/Unix build instructions. 00017 00018 > 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. 00019 00020 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 00021 00022 # Getting pre-built netCDF-C Libraries for Visual Studio 00023 00024 These libraries can be used with Visual Studio 2010 projects. The downloads are installer packages which contain the netCDF-C libraries and utilities (ncgen, ncgen3, ncdump and nccopy), as well as the associated dependencies. 00025 00026 ## Latest Stable Release (netCDF-C 4.3.2) 00027 00028 Configuration | 32-bit | 64-bit | 00029 :-------------------|:-------- |:-------| 00030 netCDF 3 | [netCDF4.3.2-NC3-32.exe][r1] | [netCDF4.3.2-NC3-64.exe][r5] 00031 netCDF3+DAP | [netCDF4.3.2-NC3-DAP-32.exe][r2] | [netCDF4.3.2-NC3-DAP-64.exe][r6] 00032 netCDF4 | [netCDF4.3.2-NC4-32.exe][r3] | [netCDF4.3.2-NC4-64.exe][r7] 00033 netCDF4+DAP | [netCDF4.3.2-NC4-DAP-32.exe][r4] | [netCDF4.3.2-NC4-DAP-64.exe][r8] 00034 00035 00036 00037 ## Latest Release Candidate (netCDF-C 4.3.2-rc2) 00038 00039 *Note: The latest release candidate may actually* **pre-date** *the latest stable release.

In order to compile a program using these libraries, you must first link your program against the appropriate 'import' (.lib) libraries. 00050 00051 ## Install Hierarchy 00052 00053 When installed, the netCDF libraries are placed in the specified locations, along with the netCDF-C utilities and dependencies. 00054 00055 <center> 00056 <IMG SRC="InstallTreeWindows.png" width="1000"/> 00057 </center> 00058 00059 # Notes 00060 00061 *The following points should be considered when using the netCDF-C libraries on Windows.* 00062 00063 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.
