Odd issues when compiling on windows

[magick]

Stand by. It may take a week before we get back to you.

Thank you!

[magick]

We're using ImageMagick 6.3.7-2 and Visual Studio 7. We compiled statically as you suggested. The test.png created by your application is fully transparent as expected.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 (VC8) in Microsoft Windows Vista. I don't really understand how this is happening but Imagick users are reporting same issues when they use the PHP extension that is linked statically.

Am I missing some compile option or do I have some unwanted switch on?

I am linking against:

Code: Select all

CORE_RL_bzlib_.lib CORE_RL_coders_.lib CORE_RL_filters_.lib CORE_RL_jbig_.lib CORE_RL_jp2_.lib CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib CORE_RL_lcms_.lib CORE_RL_libxml_.lib CORE_RL_png_.lib CORE_RL_tiff_.lib CORE_RL_ttf_.lib CORE_RL_xlib_.lib CORE_RL_wand_.lib CORE_RL_wmf_.lib CORE_RL_zlib_.lib CORE_RL_magick_.lib  winmm.lib wsock32.lib

Here is identify output generated from windows and linux generated images. Both are using the same code:

Anything fishy in here?

[mkoppanen]

The following lines in test.png (the windows generated version) doesn't look right:

Code: Select all

Transparent color: black

Code: Select all

Histogram:
     10000: (    0,    0,    0) #000000000000 black

And another thing:

In the linux image I can see this:

Code: Select all

  Channel depth:
    Gray: 1-bit
    Alpha: 1-bit

Where the windows generated Image shows this:

Code: Select all

  Channel depth:
    Gray: 1-bit

The entry for alpha seems to be missing completely?

We get identical results for Windows and Linux (the alpha channel is present). In our tests we used an "installed" version of ImageMagick that is dependent on the Windows registry. Perhaps you are installing an "uninstalled" version which requires MAGICK_HOME to be defined for ImageMagick to find its configuration files. To investigate, set the environment variable MAGICK_DEBUG to 'configure' and run your test program. Take a look at where ImageMagick is looking for its configuration files.

Well, that was it! I've been struggling with this for ages.

Thank you very much!
