Notes on specific projects

...

With the above instructions, a ctest returns all tests passing.

OpenColorIO

OpenColorIO is another easy one that downloads most of its own dependencies, and can be build with the following instructions:

Code Block
git clone https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenColorIO
cd OpenColorIO
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release

OpenImageIO

OpenImageIO is also an adjacent program, and has a large number of dependencies - luckily it can build them by itself:

Code Block
git clone https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenImageIO
cd OpenImageIO
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<OIIO install dir> -DOpenImageIO_BUILD_MISSING_DEPS=all -Dminizip-ng_INCLUDE_DIR=%CD%\deps\dist\include\minizip-ng -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
cmake --build . --config Release
Info

Line 5 might need to be run twice, as the first attempt may end in an unknown failure - it should still build though

OSL (Open Shader Language)

OSL is another adjacent project to the VFX reference platform - build instructions are not included here, as they require building your own copy of LLVM. An example of how it can be build can be seen as part of the Blender build files: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/build_files/build_environment/cmake/osl.cmake
