Build on Windows

[magnusw]

If possible, make PVR compile on Windows.

PVR itself should compile without too much trouble, but getting HDF5, Field3D, OpenImageIO and Boost.Python working may not be straightforward.

Hi ,

I managed to compile pvr on linux platform while meeting all the pre-requisites. I wanted to run the examples that is demonstrated in the accompanying book and i got the following error:

//////////////////////////////////////////
sajjad@sajjad-G74Sx:~/Downloads/PVR/pvr-master/scenes/book/chapter_1$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fig_1_1.py", line 3, in
from pvr import *
ImportError: No module named pvr

[1]+ Exit 1 python fig_1_1.py

//////////////////////////////////////////

After i compiled the source i can see the libpvr.so file inside the build directory. Then i tried to do "sudo make install" and it says that "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
"

Do i have explictly copy the libpvr.so file into the path so that program can access it ?

Some hints are appreciated.

Thanks

For those who still cant get PVR working on Windows, I have compiled a fully self-contained PVR version for Windows. All third party libraries are included in the repository. Details are here: https://github.com/mmmovania/PVR_Windows
