Re: Compiling OpenEXR under Windows

Roughly, from memory:

1. Install Windows CMake (www.cmake.org)

2. cd to the IlmBase directory
3. mkdir vsbuild, cd vsbuild (name it however you like)
4. cmake -G"Visual Studio 12 Win64" ..
5. open IlmBase.sln in Visual Studio, select release x64 target, build,
install
6. repeat 2-5 for OpenEXR

Adjust cmake parameters in step 4 to change the Visual Studio
version/platform, install location (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX), or build
parameters (eg. OpenEXR namespace).

Note that this process works for any CMake-based project under Windows,
assuming you have all the necessary tools installed. I have MinGW and MSYS
installed for more complicated projects.

Cheers,
Neall.
