ImageMagick 7 Windows builds?

[BryantMoore]

Does anyone know where I can find builds of ImageMagick 7 for Windows? I've never built a program before and I would like to play with HDRI mode.

As far a I know there are no Windows archives of binaries and no precompiled HDRI versions of IM for any platform

Will Visual Studio Express 2012 work for compiling ImageMagick on Windows?

I am not a Windows user, so cannot answer that. All I can do is point you to:

I'm just going to build for Cygwin, I've installed autoconf, make and gcc... we'll see what happens.

What exactly is happening here?

I am trying Mingw x64 too .... no luck ....

AFAIK, IM7 is now HDRI by default, so if there are recent IM7 builds that do not mess with the default configuration, I would guess that they are HDRI.

I know that's kind of annoying, but the easiest route would appear to me to install linux in a virtual machine within Windows, and run IM7 (or IM6 compiled in HDRI) inside it.
Some linux distros have "easy install inside Windows" pathways. (Ubuntu? Linux Mint? Others? I don't follow this stuff very carefully.)
Although apparently Windows 8 puts up serious road blocks.

[NicolasRobidoux]

Also, why don't you install IM6 in HDRI mode first? Almost everything is backported.

[NicolasRobidoux]

With IM7, try plain vanilla ./configure first.

Just managed a V6 Win32 compile with turbo-jpeg, png, tiff, xml, fftw, HDRI and multi-thread using TDM-GCC 32-bit. I dunno that it could be so difficult.....

@Henry: \o/
If you could document the process, I'm sure many people would be very thankful.

It's far from complete. jbig, fonts, ghostscript .... all missing.

It's a start. If you post your effort, hopefully you'll get help.
