We don't support DDS for output, it's true.

I don't see that error message anywhere in the source code (either at the 
current head, or at v2.3.16.0), so I'm not sure where that's coming from. I can 
believe it was there at some point. Is that a message from the much older OIIO 
version you are converting FROM?

As far as the input, that call should work. What is the value of inputFile? 

ImageInput::open() returns an open II, but ImageInput::create just creates an 
II capable of being opened for that format -- i.e., it doesn't try to open the 
file. So I'm curious as to what could be broken, unless your OIIO is built with 
support for DDS disabled?

After the failed 

        OIIO::ImageInput::unique_ptr in = OIIO::ImageInput::create(inputFile);

what happens with this:

        if (! in) {
            std::string err = OIIO::geterror();
            std::cout << "err after ImageInput::create(" << inputFile << ") 
failure was: " << err << "\n";
        }

Is that where you're seeing the message about Leszek? Or do you see a different 
error message?
