Build Pnet-CDF for Windows and link against MSMPI

[Kunal Rao]

Hi

  I had planned to do this in June but lost track of it in between. I came
back to doing this few days back.

  Now, I have been able to successfully build the parallel netCDF on Windows
using mingw compiler with cygwin and link against
  MSMPI . ("configure", "make" and "make install" steps were completed
successfully).

  I tried linking this library and the header file with my application which
supports parallel netcdf.
  The compilation of the application went fine, but while running the
application, I am getting problem with ncmpi_create api.

  there is a call to this function as follows:

 --------
  status = ncmpi_create(MPI_COMM_WORLD, local_filename, NC_CLOBBER |
NC_64BIT_OFFSET, FILE_INFO_TEMPLATE, file_identifier);

 --------
  This returns value as -25 and gives error. ( If proper, it should have
returned 0 I guess..)

  Can you please let me know what this return value means and what could be
going wrong ?
  Also, how do I verify if the library built is proper ?

Thanks & Regards,
Kunal
