Building with VS 2015

[walbourn]

I'm trying to build OpenEXR with Visual C++ and having no luck. I took the cmake route per the instructions here, but they don't work. These get me close, but I still cannot get it to build:

cd /d d:\
git clone https://github.com/openexr/openexr.git
cd openexr\IlmBase
md vsbuild
cd vsbuild
cmake -G"Visual Studio 14 Win64" ..

Build ilmbase.sln (works, but generates a ton of warnings)

cd ..\..\openexr
md vsbuild
cd vsbuild
cmake -DZLIB_ROOT=D:\zlib-1.2.8 -DZLIB_LIBRARY=D:\zlib-1.2.8\contrib\vstudio\vc11\x64\ZlibDllRelease\zlibwapi.lib -DILMBASE_PACKAGE_PREFIX=D:\openexr\ilmbase\vsbuild -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" ..

Build openexr.sln, and I get numerous errors like:

D:\openexr\OpenEXR\IlmImf\b44ExpLogTable.cpp(52): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'half.h': No such file or directory

d:\openexr\openexr\ilmimf\ImfInt64.h(44): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ImathInt64.h': No such file or directory

BTW, it would be super-helpful if you guys just published a NuGet package for Windows developers. zlib is already up there.

@walbourn You might be interested in my appveyor support for OpenVDB (it includes building OpenEXR from source). I was actually interested in forking OpenEXR and adding support for appveyor also and maybe we can get NuGet package published too?

https://github.com/caron/openvdb/tree/v3.2.0-win-appveyor

particularly this part...

The vfxpro99 OpenEXR script for USD works a treat.

Thank you so much. That script rocks!

@caron
The nuget request is complete: #218

For package installation:
Install-Package openexr-msvc14-x86
Install-Package openexr-msvc14-x64

thanks,

I believe this was fully resolved in #218.
