New to Magick++ , sample code crashes without error message

[graphicsRat]

I'm only just trying to get the hang of Magic++ and trying out the following bit of code (in Visual Studio .NET 2003). The code compiles OK but crashes without any error when I run it. BTW, I'm using the development headers and lib files that come with the precompiled Windows binary.

Edit: when I ran the program though a debugger I found that Image::write() causes "unhandled exception".

Code: Select all

#include <Magick++/Image.h>
#include <Magick++/Include.h>
#include <Magick++/Color.h>
#include <Magick++/Geometry.h>
#include <iostream> 

int main( int argc , char* argv[] )
{
	try
	{ 
		Magick::Geometry dimensions( 256 , 256 );
		Magick::ColorRGB color( 0 , 0 , 0 );

		Magick::Image newImage( dimensions , color );
		newImage.write( "demo.png" );
	}
	catch( Magick::Exception &error_ )
	{
		std::cout << "Caught exception: " << error_.what() << std::endl;
		return 1;
	} 
	return 0;
}

Do you choose the Release build rather than the default Debug build?

Thanks. I was developing in Debug mode and now I've switched to Release mode. Unfortunately, compiling in Release mode, Single-threaded (/ML), produces a slew of linker errors:

Thinking the problem was because the prebuilt version binary was not distributed did not contain all the required libraries I tried compiling the whole all of Magick under Visual Studio .NET (2003), and it pretty much went well with the exception of the following two linker errors

I've tried compiling my sample code in Release mode with the Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) option, but got the following error

BTW, I've tried compiling the entire library in both Debug and Release mode and both times I got the error "unresolved external symbol __fseek" and "unresolved external symbol __ftell"
