Hi, Florian.
I would like to request some features for the build of openexr on
windows. Currently, the standard projects and build drops everything in
a Deploy directory.
Unfortunately, this is true of both the vc8 and vc7 projects. The issue
is that Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has broken ABI compatability
yet again. This makes it problematic to use the latest cutting edge
openexr while supporting different versions that need different
compilers. It means manually modifying 5 or so project files.
The actual requests are that:
a) The OpenEXR .sln files deploy elements in specific subdirs for vc8
and vc7.
b) The .sln files become deprecated in favor of a multiplatform build
tool like cmake, which allows easily running all command-line and
automating builds on all different platforms consistently. Using
microsoft crappy gui is a big disadvantage (and cmake can automatically
generate a .sln file from .cmake build rules).
c) The OpenEXR DLLs become versioned so rather than IlmImf.dll you get
IlmImf.1.5.dll like on unix. Currently, I am integrating my products
with other vendors that may be shipping older openexr versions. While
no conflict has yet appeared (magically), I think this is just waiting
to happen and I know when it does, it will be a nightmare to figure out
the issue.
