Re: [Openexr-devel] building C API app

Cheers John!

This was most helpful. I managed to compile the code after including the right libraries suggested by pkg-config and picking another gcc version (4.0.3).

Thanks!

You can use pkg-config to get a list of the compiler flags and
libraries you need when linking against openexr. On my system (mac os
x, openexr 1.4.0 installed though darwinports) it returns:

  pineapple:~/CVS/vips- 7.11 john$ pkg-config OpenEXR --cflags
  -D_THREAD_SAFE -I/opt/local/include/OpenEXR
  pineapple:~/CVS/vips-7.11 john$ pkg-config OpenEXR --libs
  -L/opt/local/lib -lIlmImf -lImath -lHalf -lIex -lz

Your system will probably be different, of course. If you're using
autotools you can integrate this stuff automatically with
PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
