• Windows, Houdini 16.0.557

• Tested on Windows and Houdini 16.0.
  • You would have to patch CMake file to get this building on Linux.
• Define HOUDINI_VERSION env variable to be the version of Houdini 16.0 you wish to build against (for example "16.0.557").
• Alternatively, you can have HFS env variable defined (set when you source houdini_setup).
• Generate build files from CMake for your favorite build system. For Windows builds use MSVC 2015.
• Build the ROP Houdini dso (ROP_CopGif.dylib or ROP_CopGif.dll).
• Place the dso in the appropriate Houdini dso folder.
  • On OS X this would be /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/houdini/16.0/dso/
  • On Windows this would be C:\Users\your_username\Documents\houdini16.0\dso
  • Or $HOUDINI_PATH/dso
