Imagemagick 7 whish

[broucaries]

Hi,

I have just seen that you have beginned to code imagemagick 7 under svn

A few wish from debian project:
- X support should be a plugin (will trim your dependancies). they are a patch on your mailling list
- Use public/private abi see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility. Therefore we could track efficiently abi breakage

Please implement it.

Thanks

We'll add your request to the IMv7 wishlist.

You say "they are a patch on your mailling list." Can you post a reference so we can locate it review it?

Notice that the second one, I have tried using DLL EXPORT/IMPORT #define but it fail to compile denoting some problem between private and public abi

The X patch is here:
http://studio.imagemagick.org/pipermail ... 03188.html and could be improved

Thanks for the first item. Do you need help for the second item ?

Moreover, if you are interested by reducing the maitenance burden of glue code under os, did you see that gnulib support msvc now ? Gnulib is a source library that allow to program under an os using posix api. And it is mainly* under LGPL.

Because it is a source library you do not need to add a dependencies to the core. See http://www.gnu.org/s/gnulib/

* mainly because some module are under GPL but upstream is often willing to relicence.
