Building

• Tested on Windows and Houdini 16.0.

• 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).
