[Openexr-devel] OpenEXR and VC7.1

[Nick Porcino]

Hi, 
Dennis has been working with VC7.1 and OpenEXR, and I thought I would pass his 
notes on.

Thanks, Dennis
------------------------------------------------------------------

IlmImfDll project did not link in Visual Studio 7.1 as recieved.

I needed to do the following:

A) Looking for zlib_static.lib and zlibd_static.lib.
        
        Everything else which links to zlib does not require "_static" in the 
name.

        Either remove "_static" from zlib names in Linker -> input -> 
Additional dependencies,
        or require that user must have multiple identical copies of zlib libs 
with different names.


B) Fix dependencies

        Add IlmImf project as a dependency to project IlmImfDll  ( via 
Project->Project Dependencies... )

C) Link to different run-time library

        In Properties for IlmImfDll:
                In Release:
                        Change C/C++ -> CodeGeneration -> Runtime Library
                                from  <Multi-threaded> to <Multi-threaded DLL>
        
                In Debug:
                        Change C/C++ -> CodeGeneration -> Runtime Library
                                from  <Multi-threaded Debug> to <Multi-threaded 
Debug DLL>


It now builds and links.  However, I haven't tested it.
