ABOUT THE PYILMBASE LIBRARIES ---------------------------- The PyIlmBase library provides python bindings for the IlmBase library. If you have questions about using the PyIlmBase libraries, you may want to join our developer mailing list. See http://www.openexr.com for details. LICENSE ------- The IlmBase source code distribution is free software. See the file named COPYING (included in this distribution) for details. BUILDING ILMBASE ---------------- To build IlmBase on GNU/Linux or other UNIX-like systems, do this: ./configure make make install unless you obtained IlmBase directly from CVS, in which case you should first read README.CVS. See README.OSX for details on building IlmBase in MacOS X. Do `make check` to run the IlmBase confidence tests. They should all pass; if you find a test that does not pass on your system, please let us know. Other UNIX variants haven't been tested, but should be easy to build. Let us know if you're having problems porting IlmBase to a particular platform. All include files needed to use the IlmBase libraries are installed in the OpenEXR subdirectory of the install prefix, e.g. /usr/local/include/OpenEXR. USING ILMBASE IN YOUR APPLICATIONS ---------------------------------- On systems with support for pkg-config, use `pkg-config --cflags IlmBase` for the C++ flags required to compile against IlmBase headers; and `pkg-config --libs IlmBase` for the linker flags required to link against IlmBase libraries.
