I compiled the openvdb.lib but it requires tons of diffrent .dlls and my app gets a error saying theres something  wrong with the Half.dll...
ive seen other people have openvdb as a .lib and thats all they need but for some reason i get tons of errors.

Are you intending to use openvdb in VS2010, VS2012 or VS2015?

win_openvdb was only setup to build with VS2010, and should build w/o errors on that compiler. Even if someone were to upload the lib/dlls, they would not be compatible with VS2012 or 2015.

I'll try to address this compiler error in v3.1 (due in a couple of weeks). Interestingly it's not an issue with any other compiler I've encountered (I would understand if the compiler threw a warning but not an error). However I'll need you to verify the patch ... is this only an issue with VS2010 and VS2015? Have other people experienced this issue during compilation and if so what was the compiler?

I have the same problem

source\win_openvdb\openvdb/util/NodeMasks.h(146): error C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned

Windows 7 + VS 2015 + OpenVDB v3.1.0

I do not have problems compiling openvdb 3.0 on Windows as a .dll using MS VS 2012, but I have not tried with the latest 3.1 release.

I had to create my own library pack and cmake build script for this to get things working, however, it is possible to work with patience

I have compiled openVDB 3.1 on Win7 with VS2013.  C4146 should be a level 2 warning.  Try compiling without SDL and security checks.  That should switch it to a warning.

I've gotten so many issues I have given up.  I got help here but it was with external dll files.  I wanted a completely self contained result since I didn't want to have to supply a bunch of dlls with the VDB app.

To clarify Steven and others were great help.  I don't know where things went off track when switching to 3.x and another compiler.  There was also other issues outside compiling that caused the project to be shelved... for now.
