Building OpenEXR 1.4.0a on Vista/VS2008

This post is very old. Please bear in mind that information here might be incorrect or obsolete, and links can be broken. If something seems wrong, please feel free to comment or contact me and I'll update the post.

Some notes for building OpenEXR 1.4.0a on Vista with VS2008:

  • createDLL won’t work as it tries to create files in C:\. You can easily work around this by replacing C:\\ with a path where you have write rights.
  • FLTK include files have to be directly in the fltk folder. The fltk folder needs to be placed side-by-side to the OpenEXR folder.
  • Using multi-threaded building won’t wont, so make sure you either batch-build or set your “maximum number of parallel project builds” to 1.

Observing this and the readme notes, I was able to successfully compile all but the exrdisplay with Cg support, which is no wonder as I don’t have Cg installed.
