Hi Igor,

Looking at the compiler command line option

/I "C:\Users\Igor\Documents\alembic_helge\out\i64\IlmBase\include"

I assume your are building ILMBase yourself.

You may find that the Half.h file is actually inside a subdirectory
"OpenEXR" i.e. the following may help

/I "C:\Users\Igor\Documents\alembic_helge\out\i64\IlmBase\include\OpenEXR"

Regards

On the face of it, the issue seems to be that your include paths in
your Visual Studio project aren't set to allow the compiler to find
the .h files it says it's missing.

hello Nicholas and Ravi, sorry for late reply, i was busy (still am) so haven't had time to go back to alembic, but you are onto something cause although i don't have openexr folder nor half.h in ilmbase\include but i will investigate scripts or manual copy it, then try again, thanks for help, i'll post my progress here

cheers,

Igor

ok, builds nicely now, thanks for your help Nicholas, script just copied elut.h and tofloat.h from ilmbase build into include you pointed out, had to modify the script to copy all headers, now onto 1.0.4 source, thanks maybe i'll put my winbuild clone onto code.google so other can look at it
