offer to get imagemagick-6.7.1 built for Windows sp1

Post by gregaiken »

I was wondering if any imagemagick developer might be able and willing to compile imagemagick6.7.1
to install and run on WindowsXP service pack 1. built in a manner where it has full 'delegate' support to integrate with 'Ghostscript', 'ffmpeg', and other image delegates that i already have installed on that computer.

If anyone might be able to do this for me, I would be willing to pay $100 us via paypal or internaltional money order, for your efforts.

There seems to be some requirement at present to only install/run on service pack 3. I dont know if there is a technical reason for this, or rather merely a design choice.

Thanks for considering,

Greg

The service pack 3 requirement comes from Microsoft to support the Visual Studio 10 C++ compiler. Compile ImageMagick with Visual Studio 2008 and you should be able to run on older versions of Windows that does not have the latest service packs applied.

the explanation is very much appreciated. but from what ive read its more than daunting for someone unfamiliar with c++ to as a first time introduction, compile the glorious 'imagemagick' with all of its required libraries. if anyone can point me to a 'step by step' 'how to build imagemagick for win32' for newbies - i would be most appreciative and would give it a try.
