I hereby volunteer to create and maintain a Cygwin package for NCO (netCDF Operators), an extremely useful set of command-line utilities for processing netCDF files.
I can build NCO from source and intend soon to construct a package with cygport (which I have not used before). Prerequisite packages include GSL, netCDF, OpenDAP and UDUnits, all of which are available as Cygwin packages. The only obstacle that I can see it that one of the utilities (ncap2) needs to link to a specific, now-outdated version of the ANTLR library, for which there is a copy of the source here: http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/antlr-2.7.7.tar.gz I don't think it would be a good idea to make a Cygwin package out of that, so I need to work out how to build that along with NCO.

Hi Mark, thanks for your offering; we wait your cygport and packages for x86 and X86_64 for double check before green light to upload. In the past what annoyed me of the nco package is that you can only do a static build of the common library due to a cross dependency between the programs and the nco library. This makes all programs larger than they should. Feel free to ask any question on packaging here Regards Marco
