Unresolved External Symbol Visual Studio 2008

[mrtm3050]

Hey guys,

Newbie to ImageMagick. I am trying to compile it with VS 2008 version (6.6.2-7) with windows 7. I built and ran the configure sln in release mode. Everything complies except for 12 of my UTIL projects. The following errors occur when I compile it:

For example, one of the errors I receive is it cant link to the AnimateImageCommand. The Util_animate project's animate.c file references:

Code: Select all

extern WandExport MagickBooleanType
  AnimateImageCommand(ImageInfo *,int,char **,char **,ExceptionInfo *);

in the animate.h file. When I do a "Go to Defintion" in the extern command above for the AnimateImageCommand, it finds the function in animate.c that is in the Wand directory. Probably something I'm forgetting to do here or not properly linking in the project's properties. Any ideas?

Default options should work fine in the configure.exe wizard.

If anyone wants to know how to fix the above problems, you have to make sure to include the CORE_WAND lib files in properties | linker.
