[Bf-committers] Building blender on Fedora Core 10: linking error with OpenEXR ( libbf_openexr.a )

[Campbell Barton]

Blender only has a C api to OpenEXR (C++), so for linux at least, the
systems OpenEXR is used for building.
Maybe the confusion is because blender is statically linked against
openexr from the official download in blender.org (though distros will
usually link).
