Thanks, Chris, and Peter, for your responses. Yes, I read the readme.txt file in the 'vc8' directory in the release folder. I am slowly making progress on this. I was a MS Solution Provider and a Partner for many years before I saw the light ( :) ), so I'm aware of the vagaries of binary incompatibility. I think the real problem isn't the header files, per-se (they are just text, after all), but rather the calling sequences to the procedures defined in the DDImage.dll and glew32.dll files included with Nuke, and which Nuke assumes we all are using.
I have, buried somewhere at home, my copy of VS 2005, (and 2008 as well), and I may very well cave and bring that in to work, but at the moment, things do seem to be working in 2010. I was able to successfully compile, load, and connect the 'Mirror' node using Nuke 6.2v2, using the 2008 changes for 2010. I am planning on writing up, and eMailing to the group, a step-by-step procedure for creating a successful VS2010 Nuke project from scratch (it's really not that hard). Of course, all of this is extremely preliminary -- this stuff has only been working for less than 24 hours at this point -- so the jury is not fully in. However, at this point things do seem to be looking fairly good.

The short answer is that unfortunately, due to DDImage's exposed C++ interface, we can only be reliably compatible with one version of Visual Studio, because binary sizes and locations of things change in new releases, and in debug mode as opposed to release. This means VS2005 SP1 is the go until we upgrade everything we build with (which is a lot) - and, when we do so, that will require everyone else to start building with the version we upgrade to as well. If you find a way to get this working with VS2010, such as using the steps in the readme.txt or that Sebastian wrote up, please let everyone know :) Cheers, - Chris On 02/05/11 19:13, Steven Booth wrote: > > Thanks for getting back, Colin. > > The strange thing is...
