Hi Ward

I did a svn update from the netcdf repo

I get these errors while building in Windows with Cmake

Is the svn code assumed to build all the time ?

Go to you hdf5 build dir, do a make install and then use -DHDF5\_DIR= the dir containing the config file in the installed location. You can do It from the hdf5 build dir if you know what you're doing, but you clearly don't, so it's best to use the 'approved' method.
