HDF5 missing as dependency for netcdf package

[Nathan Wendt]

Recently I installed the netcdf package that contains the netcdf
utilities like ncdump. However, trying to run ncdump would produce the
following error:

ncdump.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

With no indication of the missing library, it was hard to figure out
what was missing. When I accidentally tried to run ncdump in the
Windows command prompt I received an error message that said
cyghdf5_hl-10.dll was missing. After installing the Cygwin hdf5
package ncdump worked normally.

My suggestion would be to add the hdf5 package as a dependency for netcdf.

Thanks,
