Re: Compiling OpenEXR under Windows

Dear Neall and Piotr

Thanks for your replies.

I've been trying the CMake route but have been having errors.

Does anyone know whether pre-built Windows 64-bit binaries are available 
somewhere?  The latest Windows binaries on the downloads page are for an 
older version (which is not necessarily a problem for me), and are 
32-bit (which is a problem for me).  If not then I'll persevere more.

Cheers

Ally
