Build

You need to set some environment variables to help cmake to find dependencies.

You only to set the EnvVariable nor the CMakeVariable, not both.

EnvVariable	CMakeVariable	Value	Pkg	Tested
JPEGTurbo_ROOT and JPEGTurbo_ROOT	-Dlibjpeg-turbo_ROOT	<LIBJPEDTURBO_CLONE_DIR>/install	libjpeg-turbo	true
Boost_ROOT	-DBoost_ROOT	<BOOST_CLONE_DIR>/install	boost	true
OpenEXR_ROOT	-DOpenEXR_ROOT	<OPENEXR_CLONE_DIR>/install	OpenEXR	true
LIBTIFF_ROOT and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to <TIFF_CLONE_DIR>/install/lib	-DTIFF_ROOT	<TIFF_CLONE_DIR>/install	tiff	true
ZLIB_ROOT	-DZLIB_ROOT	<ZLIB_CLONE_DIR>/install	zlib	true

cd <OIIO_SOURCE_DIR>
./src/build-scripts/build_pybind11.bash # todo compile by ourself
cmake -S . -B ./build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<CLONE_DIR>/install \
 -DBoost_ROOT=<BOOST_CLONE_DIR>/build -DOpenEXR_ROOT=<OPENEXR_CLONE_DIR>/install \
 -DTIFF_ROOT=<TIFF_CLONE_DIR>/build -Dlibjpeg-turbo_ROOT=<LIBJPEDTURBO_CLONE_DIR>/install \
 -DZLIB_ROOT=<ZLIB_CLONE_DIR>/install
cmake --build <OIIO_SOURCE_DIR>/build --target install --config Release

All the compiled files will be in <CLONE_DIR>/install And the python module will be in <CLONE_DIR>/install/lib64/python3.10/site-packages
