[Openexr-devel] Compiling ilmbase+openexr on solaris x86 64bit

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, Iv been getting blender3d to compile on Solaris10-x86 64bit (for
use on suns network.com grid computing engine, for the peach project
peach.blender.org)
I had quite a bit of trouble getting openexr built.

32bit would build with no problems, but compiling 64bit openexr
binaries was difficult.

The problem is that I could not tell it to look for libs in /usr/sfw/lib/amd64/
it would instead look for libstdc++ and in /usr/sfw/lib/ and give a
linking error when building.
This problem happens with ilmbase-1.0.1 and openexr-1.6.1

- "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"

I tried ./configure --libdir=/usr/sfw/lib/amd64/ setting LDFLAGS but
it seemed I could not overwide the reference to /usr/sfw/lib/ and
there was no way to set it.

Anyhow here are the commands I used to compile, maybe it gives some
insights into the problem or at least help others in the meantime.

If anyones interested, heres some info about setting up the renderfarm
