Building OpenFX

The first step is to get the source. To compile OpenFX, you will need to have the Microsoft Visual C compiler installed and at least 200Mb free disk space. Extract the source to your working directory using an unzip utility such as WinZip. Make sure you have the setup Visual C to to allow you to run the compiler from the command line. Change to your working directory and run the 'makeall.bat' script. OpenFX should start compiling. When this has finished (it may take a few minutes) you should be able to run the openfx.exe from that directory.
