getting this when installing from the vcpkg install mentioned in the official documentation:

Running the failed command manually, seems to be a version conflict with Imath.

What could be the issue? Is there something incompatible with my environment? Are the official docs from https://opencolorio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start/installation.html#installation outdated? Was there a recent breakage?

Also the link to "homebrew homepage" is broken on that page.

Hello @xchen31u,

Could you list the steps that you have done? e.g. the commands that you did, etc.

Are you trying to install OpenColorIO with Vcpkg or are you trying to build it from source?

[xchen31u]

Hi,

I'm trying to install OCIO following the instructions. The command is:

vcpkg install openimageio[opencolorio,tools]:x64-windows --recurse

[xchen31u]

bump!

Hi @xchen31u. This is an issue with vcpkg’s repository currently having incompatible versions of Imath and OpenEXR. I am looking to see if I can help move OpenEXR’s update forward to fix it.

You can install both ports at the same time, but you can't use them at the same time. For this reason, you currently cannot install openimageio[opencolorio] with the latest versions of these ports, because opencolorio was updated to use the new imath while openimageio still uses the outdated openexr.

Thanks @EvanAW !

Would using brew mitigate this issue? Or using another platform such as linux / mac?

Recent testing shows that this now succeeds: vcpkg install openimageio[opencolorio]:x64-windows --recurse

But the install with the tools option (needed to get oiiotool) still fails due to a QT problem: vcpkg install openimageio[opencolorio,tools]:x64-windows --recurse

However, that is a problem that doesn't seem to have anything to do with OCIO and would be more appropriately logged to vcpkg or oiio.

I don't want to remove it from our installation page, since it is in theory a valid option. Hopefully it will be fixed on their side soon.
