Re: [Openexr-devel] make check failure

[Drew Hess]

Hi Ken,

2.95.3 is known to have problems with templates and exceptions, so this 
isn't surprising.  It's been awhile since I compiled OpenEXR with 2.95.3 
so I'm not certain if these errors are reproducible, but I'll check it out 
sometime today if I can find a 2.95 install.

As long as the IlmImfTest tests pass, you should be OK using 2.95 for the 
parts of Iex and Imath that IlmImf (the actual "OpenEXR" part of the 
libraries) uses.

And yeah, the tests expect to find the test files in their directories; 
I'll try to fix that issue of a separate build dir in a subsequent 
release.  You can file a bug on this at Savannah if you wish so that I 
don't forget.

By the way, we'll be releasing a Shake plugin very soon, hopefully within 
a week now that the 1.0.7 release is ready to go.  (More on the 1.0.7 
release later today.)
