Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello-

All in all, I'm extremely pleased with how I've been able to incorporate ImageMagick (or rather, the Magick++) into my code. It has certainly simplified the way I save and read our images. I just have one question/request:

Would it be possible to include the necessary debug dll's in the binary releases?

I realize that it is possible to create these by compiling the source code, but the convenience of the binaries is extremely attractive. Personally, compiling from source is proving to be a challenge that will take more time than it's worth to get the debug dlls. But I would love to be able to run in debug mode...(I'm especially interested in debug dlls for ImageMagick-6.5.6-8-Q16-windows-dll.exe)

If it's not possible, I'd be interested in an explanation. I'm still inexperienced, here.

Thanks

The ImageMagick developers have all the work we can handle right now. For non-standard installations such as debug versions of the DLL's you need to build ImageMagick from source yourself. We made it as easy to possible with the configure program and the detailed instructions here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advan ... lation.php. We even include an installation script based on the freely available Inno Setup program.

I did try following those directions. I get stopped at building the configure project because I don't currently have the MFC Library. (I've also tried running configure.exe as suggested in another post, but that claims that my application won't start because the application configuration is incorrect. Don't quite know how to fix that. For what it's worth, I'm trying to build this in Visual C++ 2008 Express.).

I guess I'll just stick to my debugging work-arounds for now.
Thanks anyway.
