VisualMagick Build Fail with Visual Studio 8

Post by rokhead »

Can't build all of VisualDynamicMT.sln.

Using ImageMagick-6.3.8, Visual Studio 8.0.5072.

It builds for a while, but eventually just hangs with no further ouput.
Seems to be related to IM_MOD_fpx.
After I kill the process and restart VS, and try to run project "all", VS replies that IM_MOD_fpx is not built.

So, VS 8 hangs on entire build.

1 gig ram, Core duo 2 GHz cpu.

Since no one else has a solution, I found one: build it with Visual C++ 6.0.
Moreover, if you guys try to build the NtMagick project with Visual Studio 2005, you will find that the STL stuff doesn't work. There is a Microsoft article somewhere about this. Solution is to change includes from <stuff.h> to <stuff>... or something like that. Search on the internet for STL and VS 2005. YMMV.
