Linking ImageMagick statically on windows?

[smcallis]

I'm trying to link ImageMagick into a dll I'm making on windows, and I'm having a heck of a problem getting it to work right. Basically I'm using the Image() class in Magic++ to enable me to load an image from a URL and display it, nothing fancy. So I'm linking in the Magick++ and magick libraries, but I keep getting unresolved symbol errors:

Error 3 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall Magick::Image::~Image(void)" (__imp_??1Image@Magick@@UAE@XZ)

Etc, etc, for ~Image(void), Image::operator=, Image(string) and Image(void). I've used dumpbin on the Magick++ lib file to make sure the symbols are indeed there, but to no avail. Can anyone who's done this shed some light?

Go to c:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.9-1-Q16\Magick_Demos and click on the button workspace. Build and execute. It should compile, link, and run without complaint. Now use this workspace as a template for your own project.

Which package should I install specifically to get that? I have a source package that doesn't seem to have Magick_Demo

The Button workspace should be part of the Windows source distribution, however, it definitely is part of the Windows static binary distribution @ http://magick.imagemagick.org/script/bi ... hp#windows.

ImageMagick-6.5.9-1-Q16-windows-static.exe is what I was installing, but the only folders I see in C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.9-Q16 are "images", "uninstall" and "www", along with several .exe and .dll files. Nothing else...

Any thoughts anyone?

Try installing using the DLL installer, that gave me the option to install the C/C++ headers and libraries and included the static as well as dynamic versions.
