I found a solution to this. Before running hcustom, set the environment variable TBBMALLOC_PROXY_ENABLE to 0.
WARNING: Do NOT leave this set when running Houdini! I've seen 5x slow downs with this enabled.
That's soo weird… Is it a memory leak that happens with hcustom?
I'll try this after work today. This should create the proper DLLs? Also when I want to add the custom IMG_File class, should i place the created files anywhere in particular?
Update: Gave it a quick try. Went to PC->Properties->Advanced Settings->Environment Variables..No such luck. I set the environment variable to this.
Update 2: My complete bad… I set it to User based Variable instead of System Variable… now it works and does not crash !!
Next step is to figure out how to have the custom IMG_File class to appear in the drop menu when selecting a texture …
