Help me compile ImageMagick Libraries with MingW32
Posted: 2008-07-20T02:29:05-07:00
Hi, after numerous tries and hours of failing, i decided to ask you for help and hope this is the right place to do that.
First thing i have to say is that i'm not experienced when it comes to compiling, linking ... maybe not so experienced when it comes to C++
I started many attempts to compile this library so i can't tell you in detail what i tried ... sometimes i managed to build
the libs, but when i tried to use them i most of the time got an "Application asked to terminate in an unusual way" (very helpful) error...
The most successfull approach was to use the mingw32 binarys, but i still had to compile some of the other libraries and the most important(atleast for me) thing
loading and saving jpegs just didn't work
(another thing i disliked was the executeable size, 8MB i guess that's because of static linking ?)
I just want to use the Magick++ Interface and the ImageMagick Library Functions, i don't want to use the Tools you provide and i don't want my application to depend on .xml files or environment variables.
So here are my questions:
-Is it right to use the Windows Source ?
-Which Libraries do i have to build in Order to achive my objective?
-Which Magick "defines" do i have to set ?
-There are so many different "defines" in all the other included libraries, is there a list of defines that should be set ?
I'm grateful for any hint that you can give me
