Introduction
While VFX Platform has helped to align the library configuration that software developers are using, not everything is in alignment yet. Additionally, it can be unclear which CY of VFX Platform a given DCC release targets. In a studio environment you might want to work with Cortex across multiple software platforms and hence you will have to build a specific Cortex configuration that works with the intended 3rd party software.
The below build matrix shows a number of configuration that are successfully being used in a Linux environment and Cortex 10.
