[BUILD] Windows - Visual Studio 2019 : fatal error LNK1248 about openvdb HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @nyue this is usually related to explicit template instatiation. We should probably turn this off on Windows. Try configuring with -D USE_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATION=OFF

from openvdb.

That works for me.

I have a new issue with the Windows build

The Ninja build encountered multiple build rules but only if I build the AX stuff.

from openvdb.

Ah this looks to be a bug in our CMake, both the shared and static builds of AX are producing the same library name.

You can either disable the static/shared build with OPENVDB_AX_SHARED=ON|OFF or OPENVDB_AX_STATIC=ON|OFF or add:

  if(WIN32)
    set_target_properties(openvdb_ax_static PROPERTIES PREFIX "lib")
  endif()

to somewhere in openvdb_ax/CMakeLists.txt:

I'll make the latter change to master

from openvdb.
