Hi,

I've been able to build successfully ImageMagick-6.5.2-7 on MinGW stable release (gcc-3.4.5) + MSYS-1.0.11-rc1 on Windows XP. Unfortunately, I cannot build IM anymore with recent versions (e.g. 6.5.3-10). Here is the result :

/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONF
IG_H -I. -I./config -I./ltdl -I./ltdl -I/mingw/include/freetype2 -I/mingw/incl
ude -IC:/opt/gtk+-2.16.1/include -D_LIB -D_MT -g -O2 -Wall -W -MT coders/magick

o -c -o coders/magick_libMagickCore_la-avi.lo `test -f 'coders/avi.c' || echo '.
/'`coders/avi.c
In file included from c:/mingw/include/jpeglib.h:26,

Thanks for any help.
Cheers.

The problem is a conflict in header files under MinGW and has little to do with ImageMagick. You could disable JPEG support with

./configure --without-jpeg

or patch the conflicting header files. Otherwise you will need to post a bug report to the MinGW developers to get the problem fixed.

I have been able to build a previous version of ImageMagick with JPEG support, so I think it's related with ImageMagick.

OK. I'll do it.
