Noob needs help - Installation ImageMagick and VC2005
Posted: 2009-07-03T07:51:54-07:00
Hi All,
sorry to bother you but I need some help. For the last two days I have desperately been trying to install ImageMagick on my computer to use the CImg library. I downloaded and installed the binary executable file and I downloaded Magic++ API and copied all the files into my VC include directory. However I am still receiving numerous error messages, mostly related to convert.exe or some sort of permission issue. I am not installing my ImageMagick in a folder with folders, I have done quite a bit of reading and asking/googling around, but I am at the end of what I can think of to get this sorted.
Essentially I want to be able to run this particular piece of code from the CImg website, which requires ImageMagick for the jpg support.
http://cimg.sourceforge.net/reference/g ... orial.html
(see breakdown below where the lena.jpg file is loaded)
Could somebody maybe help me with a step by step plan on how to get VC2005 to work with ImageMagick? I am running WinXP 64bit.
- I will start with a fresh installation of VC and a fresh installation of ImageMagick binary. This gives me the .exe files like convert etc.
- then copy the Magic++ folder into the VC include folder, get Magic++.h found and working via #include <Magic++.h>
but if I run the above code I get the following error messages:
convert.exe: unable to open image `C:\DOCUME~1\lf\Local`: Permission denied @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2467
`convert.exe` is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and more permission and not found errors in regards to convert.exe
why is this happening. After I compile I surely should not need any more external files, I thought after compile the executable that I created is stand-alone and will run on any machine and will not require any libraries or other executables?
and if I do a simple test with the ImageMagic API such as
I get error messages like this:
ain.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Magick::InitializeMagick(char const *)" (?InitializeMagick@Magick@@YAXPBD@Z) referenced in function _main
can anybody help me please? This is driving me insane. It must be reasonably simple to do this? Why am I having such a hard time ...
