[RESOLVED] Another windows compilation problem

[spongemonkey]

We are hoping to use IM via Magick++ in a project that will process very large images (10^10 pixels) on a windows based system. As such we ultimately want to compile a 64bit version of IM with all possible multi-core support.

I'm trying to compile v6.7.9-10 as downloaded from ftp://mirror.checkdomain.de/imagemagick ... .7.9-10.7z, with Visual Studio 2010. These are the configure settings I used:



I changed the configuration to x64 release and cleaned the build as described in the instructions then build the solution.

The build initially spits out 6 errors like
Error 261 error RC1110: could not open ..\..\magick\ImageMagick.rc ..ImageMagick-6.7.9\VisualMagick\utilities\RC UTIL_composite

then I get over 300 errors like
Error 1627 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol XSync ..ImageMagick-6.7.9\VisualMagick\magick\xwindow.obj CORE_magick

At a guess I think that some setting is pointing at ..\..\magick\ImageMagick.rc when it should be pointing at ..\magick\ImageMagick.rc, but I don't really know, and have no idea how to change the setting if it exists.

Any help is greatly appreciated

We have this problem fixed in the 6.8.0-0 Beta release. Try building against http://www.imagemagick.org/download/bet ... windows.7z.

Thanks for the response.

Have just tried the same procedure with the beta source. The first lot of errors is now replaced with errors of the form
error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'CORE_RL_magick_.lib' ..ImageMagick-6.8.0\VisualMagick\utilities\LINK UTIL_composite

plus the other errors.

The file CORE_RL_magick_.lib does exist in the folder ..VisualMagick\lib

The 32bit version (of the beta) compiles fine without the utility projects full path options. Still no luck with the 64 version though

We just built the 64-bit version of ImageMagick 6.8.0-0 beta and it built without complaint. Are you getting a compile error? If so, post the error here so we can figure out why its failing to compile for you.

[spongemonkey]

Build was attempted with configuration as above but without the "Generate all utility projects with full paths..." option.

I don't know what the most useful format to give the errors in is, but here they are splattered into a text file: http://textuploader.com/?p=6&id=sdtdd

I'll just reiterate this is using Visual Studio 2010 in case that is important. Thanks again.

We can reproduce the problem you reported and have a patch. Look for it by sometime tomorrow in the 6.8.0-0 Beta distribution. Also be sure to undef the MAGICKCORE_X11_DELEGATE define in magick/magick-config.h. That should allow the 64-bit version of ImageMagick to build.

It works, fantastic. Thanks a lot.

Next question, how on earth do I mark the thread as solved?
