Salah,

I would suggest you change to something like:

HDF4_DIR = C:\projects\42r1-win
HDF4_LIB = /LIBPATH:$(HDF4_DIR)\release\dll Ws2_32.lib

It seems the NCSA has changed the layout of their distributed
binaries.

It is a Microsoft library.  I can't recall what it does, though you
could check in google.
