[Openexr-devel] vs2005 1.40 libs vs. 1.5.1 libs and B44 support

[James Wise]

So i have been implementing OpenEXR support in my application.

Currently i am including headers and linking against the lib files.
I am using the lib files and header that came in the vs2005 archive form 
the website.
However i have noticed that this collection of files do not know about 
the B44 compression method,
and hence our application cannot read them.

So i got the latest source 1.6.1 files from the exr website and compiled 
the various projects as in the readme
however the lib that i have produced follwing this method are of  quite 
different sizes than the ones i got from the Vs2005 solution on the website?
notably the IlmImf.lib i make with 1.6.1 is around 1.9 Mb's whereas the 
one form the 1.40 vs2005 ditrobution is around 7.1 Mb's?
Also when i link against the new lib files, i get some errors about no 
eLUT , etc. see below....

imageio.lib(OpenEXRImporter.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external 
symbol "private: static unsigned short const * const half::_eLut" 
(address@hidden@@0QBGB)
1>image.lib(Pixel.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
"private: static unsigned short const * const half::_eLut" 
(address@hidden@@0QBGB)
1>imageio.lib(OpenEXRImporter.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external 
symbol "private: static union half::uif const * const half::_toFloat" 
(address@hidden@@address@hidden@B)
1>image.lib(Pixel.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
"private: static union half::uif const * const half::_toFloat" 
(address@hidden@@address@hidden@B)
1>imageio.lib(OpenEXRImporter.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external 
symbol "public: __thiscall Imf::Channel::Channel(enum 
Imf::PixelType,int,int)"
Visual studio.net 2005 (express)

I figure i must have missed some project setting or flag to tell the 
compiler to create the right type of lib files ( or tell it to include 
the LUT in the lib files somewhow?)
when i built the new EXR lib files, but i cant figure it out,
any help would be most appreciated,
