imagemagick would not compile in win 7 64 in vs2008 prof

[kochhar]

I am trying to compile ImageMagick-6.8.7-7-Q16-x64-dll under win 7 64 in vs2008 professional. I have followed the instructions to compile configure and unchecked X11 and chose the 64 bit option in config. I keep getting the error

Error 2 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' c:\2013\ImageMagick-6.8.7\magick\magick-baseconfig.h 197 CORE_magick

Error 340 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int c:\2013\ImageMagick-6.8.7\magick\magick-config.h 24 CORE_Magick++

Error 367 error C2144: syntax error : 'long' should be preceded by ';' c:\2013\ImageMagick-6.8.7\magick\magick-baseconfig.h 197 CORE_Magick++

I will appreciate any help. Thank you.

Did you set the platform to x64 instead of win32? You should not uncheck the X11 stubs option. After you open the solution you should edit magick-config.h and undefine the MAGICKCORE_X11_DELEGATE define.

I am now working on an extra option in the configure program that will allow you to disable X11 completely. I hope to get this in before the next release.

I had commented the line #define MAGICKCORE_X11_DELEGATE rather than #undef MAGICKCORE_X11_DELEGATE. After changing It compiled without any problem. Thank you.
