hi there.. sorry for replying late..I was away for vacations and also gave it a try myself to make it work. but the problem I am having starts when I build ilmbase lib after CreateDLL, I set all the paths correctly.but the problem appears in post-build event. I guess createDLL  is designed to work tightly with 32bit system, bcoz i get the following build output in visual studio 2005 when i build project Half after successfully building CreateDLL project,

CreateDLL v1.1

I don't know what had caused this error, could you please shed some light on it?

-Thanks

PS: Is it possible for you guys to include a solution file for ilmbase and openEXR libs, that include a 64bit configuration, coz it might be possible that we forget certain settings when creating x64 config in visual studio.

I don't have a system to test with 64-bit Windows / Visual Studio, but the
code does work on the 32-bit version of Windows, as well as with 64-bit Linux.
What kinds of errors do you get?
