fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'CORE_RL_magick_

[jlanz]

I am getting the following error when I try to build a release with VS2009.

Error 98 fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'CORE_RL_magick_.lib' UTIL_exceptions UTIL_exceptions

What I would really like to be able to do is incorporate an installation of ImageMagick into an installation for another project we are doing. But I don't want any user interactions required. Do you have a command line install option?

You need to go into the projects linker settings and add the path to the ImageMagick .lib files ( provided via the pre-built binary distribution of ImageMagick for Windows when you choose to install the developer files during the install, or when you build ImageMagick from source ) typically in ImageMagick...\VisualMagick\lib folder e.g. C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.1-Q16\VisualMagick\lib Ensure your header files are coming from the same version ( i.e. base folder ) of ImageMagick as your .lib files.

Once built, your .exe will only need the end user to install the pre-built binary distribution for that version of IM.
