[Openexr-devel] exrdisplay on OS X

[Drew Hess]

Statically-linked exrdisplay is working on OS X 10.2 with the December 
2002 developer tools now.  It's very basic and only supports loading 
images from the command line.  We probably need a native OS X image 
browser at some point.

You don't need to hack the source anymore to get things working.  The 
istream::read workaround is integrated into the source, and you can turn 
it on by passing "--enable-osx-istream-hack" to the configure script.  
Only OS X needs this flag.

If you'd like to try it right away, you can check the latest source out of
CVS and do the following in the top-level source directory:

./bootstrap
./configure --enable-osx-istream-hack --enable-shared=no
make
make install

'make check' should work now, too.

Shared libs are kinda working.  You can link exrdisplay against shared 
OpenEXR libs, but the executable just hangs when you try to load an image.  
If anyone has ideas, let me know.


Thanks to everyone who helped get this working.
