Re: [Openexr-devel] Compiling OpenEXR under Windows

[Neall Verheyde]

Roughly, from memory:

1. Install Windows CMake (www.cmake.org)

2. cd to the IlmBase directory

3. mkdir vsbuild, cd vsbuild (name it however you like)

4. cmake -G"Visual Studio 12 Win64" ..

5. open IlmBase.sln in Visual Studio, select release x64 target, build, install

6. repeat 2-5 for OpenEXR

Adjust cmake parameters in step 4 to change the Visual Studio version/platform, install location (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX), or build parameters (eg. OpenEXR namespace).

Note that this process works for any CMake-based project under Windows, assuming you have all the necessary tools installed. I have MinGW and MSYS installed for more complicated projects.

Cheers,

Neall.

Dear all

I'd like to compile OpenEXR under Windows, ideally using Visual Studio.  The README says "see README.win32" for instructions on how to build OpenEXR on a Windows platform.  However, README.win32 appears to be empty.

If anyone has any pointers here they would be much appreciated. Same for IlmBase - it has the same situation with README files.

Many thanks

Ally Donaldson
