Hey everyone, This is an old thread but wanted to report back that Sebastian's instructions are very good. I was able to get oiiotool.exe mostly working (For example, convert from a Tiled EXR to a Scanline is fine. But resize a Tiff to a Jpeg equals crash!)
Beyond that what tripped me up is trying to use someone else's precompiled libs when I had trouble getting something to compile. In the end, this "shortcut" just caused more trouble. Visual Studio is very picky that everything is compiled with the same version. If there is any question what something was compiled with, do a text search for "Microsoft.VC" through the contents of lib files to confirm which version of Visual Studio it depends on. This article explains it: http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=296 I ended up using VS2008 (vc9) ... I had to go back to jpeg-8a to get source that included a vc9 project. Oh and I couldn't get static linking against the DLLs working... so I have to dump all the boost, OpenEXR, etc DLLs in the folder next to the EXE. Hope this info helps! and Thanks to Sebastian! -Paul -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Oiio-dev] Problems building OIIO on Windows Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 08:44:47 +0200 From: Sebastian Elsner <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Reply-To: OpenImageIO developers <[email protected]> <[email protected]> To: OpenImageIO developers <[email protected]><[email protected]> Hello, I am currently working on some general build instructions and expecially x64 instructions, but its quite some work. Find here http://piratepad.net/0rqEZFwrKg what I have now, actually the most important step - OIIO itself - is missing, but will follow in the next view days. If you want correct error or add stuff in the piratepad. Also, please report back, how this worked for you. To get cmake to find everyting on windows is a lot of manual work right now, because on windows the libraries might be everywhere.... I have made some suggestion on how to imporve this here on the list, but I also did not get responsen, because most of the guys here are on Linux.

I followed the directions here https://sites.google.com/site/openimageio/building-oiio-on-windows, but I'm getting all sorts of errors in CMake. Basically CMake can't find most of the external dependencies. I'm starting the tedious process of adding CMake variables for each external lib, but surely there's a better way? Presumably there's some CMake logic to find those libs that's just broken? Is anyone working on this? I am a complete CMake noob, otherwise I would try to help. Also what about building for windows x64? Is there a external dependencies zip for x64 available? Thanks, -Nicolas
