I haven't built OIIO itself with vcpkg. And I understand that in its current state, the vcpkg recipe only build the library, not the binaries like oiiotool, and not the Python bindings, and doesn't build support for many of the file formats because it's pretty conservative about which dependencies it pre-installs -- though all of those things are fixable.
But I did recently rework our appveyor.yml (https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio/blob/master/appveyor.yml) to use vcpkg for all the dependencies we need a build time, and it works great! If we beefed up the vcpkg recipe for OIIO to address the issues I mention above (and also make a vcpkg for OCIO), it would definitely be a viable way for somebody to build OIIO from scratch on Windows with a minimum of fuss. -- lg > On Dec 6, 2018, at 1:07 AM, Simon Björk <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I know there are several threads about building on Windows, but I thought I'd > break this out as a separate thread. > > Has anyone used vcpkg <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg> to build > OpenImageIO on Windows?
