Problems with FindNetCDF.cmake finding both C and Fortran

[edwardhartnett]

I am trying to build FMS like this:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/usr/local/FMS-2021.03.01;/usr/local/netcdf-c-4.8.1_hdf5-1.12.1_zlib-ng_szip_mpich;/usr/local/netcdf-c-4.7.4_hdf4-1.10.7_mpich;/usr/local/netcdf-fortran-4.5.3_mpich;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-w3emc-2.7.3;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-w3nco-2.4.1;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-bacio-2.4.1;NCEPLIBS-nemsio-2.5.1;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-sp-2.3.3;/usr/local/esmf-8.0.1;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-nemsio-2.5.1;/usr/local/NCEPLIBS-sigio-2.3.2" -DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS="-fno-range-check -fdefault-real-8 -cpp -ffree-line-length-none" ..

@kgerheiser can FindNetCDF.cmake deal with the netCDF C and Fortran libraries installed in different directories?

I have used it with Spack which installs C/Fortran separately. You just need to have nc-config and nf-config in your PATH.
