WINDOWS ------- Build IlmBase and OpenEXR on Windows using cmake ------------------ What follows are instructions for generating Visual Studio solution files and building those two packages 1. Launch a command window, navigate to the IlmBase folder with CMakeLists.txt,and type command: setlocal del /f CMakeCache.txt cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" ..\ilmbase 2. Navigate to IlmBase folder in Windows Explorer, open ILMBase.sln and build the solution. When it build successfully, right click INSTALL project and build. It will install the output to the path you set up at the previous step. 3. Go to http://www.zlib.net and download zlib 4. Launch a command window, navigate to the OpenEXR folder with CMakeLists.txt, and type command: setlocal del /f CMakeCache.txt cmake -DZLIB_ROOT= -DILMBASE_PACKAGE_PREFIX= -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" ^ ..\openexr 5. Navigate to OpenEXR folder in Windows Explorer, open OpenEXR.sln and build the solution. When it build successfully, right click INSTALL project and build. It will install the output to the path you set up at the previous step. LINUX ----- mkdir /tmp/openexrbuild cd /tmp/openexrbuild ------------- -- IlmBase -- ------------- initial bootstraping: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= build the actual code base: make -j 4 for testing do: make test then to install to your chosen location: make install
