[Openexr-devel] openExr & Shake

[Piotr Stanczyk]

Hi there, I've been asked to extend the basic shake i/o node to handle 
openExr image file format.

There are a number of issues that have come up during this attempt. Most 
of it relating to the fact that shake wants g++ 2.95!
Never-the-less, we have managed to build the libraries with g++ 2.96 
making local changes where needed.

Back to shake, As a starting point I have used the format.cpp file that 
came with the SHake SDK. I have implemented the reader part of the node 
without too much difficulty and that seems to work just fine. However, 
the writer part is proving more stubborn.
Seems that calls to Imf::OutputFile constructor cause a segmentation error.
Does anyone have any tips on how to make this work?

Thanks in advance
