Setting up magick++ for windowsXP, Visual studio08

Post by Bassamdo01 »

Hello all,
I am using windows XP sp3, and Visual studio 2008. However, I did the instalation steps>> ", launch your Visual Studio IDE and choose Open->Project. Select the configure workspace from the ImageMagick-6.4.9/VisualMagick/configure folder and press Open. Choose Build->Build Solution to compile the program and on completion run the program. Press Next and click on the multi-threaded static build. If you are using the Visual Studio 6.0 IDE, make sure no check is next to the Generate Visual Studio 7 format option. Now press, on Next twice and finally Finish. The configuration utility just created a workspace required to build ImageMagick from source. Choose Open->Project and select the VisualStaticMT workspace from the ImageMagick-6.4.9/VisualMagick/ folder. Finally, choose Build->Build Solution to compile and build the ImageMagick distribution."
and everything is Ok... now please before i start my first program, or using the command line, I need to know if there is further setting, such registring variable in the system or setting the project???
Because I tried to built a simple program, but error "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'magick++.h': No such file or directory".

Download the ImageMagick Windows binary distribution from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows and install it. Now move to C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-7-Q16\Magick++_demos. Your installation path may be slightly different. Click on the button workspace and build and execute. Hopefully it will compile and run without complaint. You can now use this workspace as a template for your own project.
