Compile OpenVDB
The required dependencies for OpenVDB are OpenEXR, TBB, and Boost. For better interoperability with other software, it is recommended to compile OpenVDB with Blosc.
Here is a short script/guide to get and compile blosc for Linux:
# get the source wget https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/archive/v1.7.0.tar.gz tar -xvf v1.7.0.tar.gz cd c-blosc-1.7.0/ # set up build dir mkdir build cd build/ # set up install dir cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install .. # compile and install cmake --build . --target install
It can also be desirable to link OpenVDB against a concurrent allocator, like jemalloc.
Unfortunately it is currently required to hand edit the Makefile from openvdb.
For reference, here is a stripped Makefile that I use to compile the library (minus the OpenVDB development related stuff).
The contents here should be copied into the Makefile, starting around line 80, ending with DOXYGEN, see: https://github.com/dreamworksanimation/openvdb/blob/master/openvdb/Makefile#L80
