Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

From the download page, I downloaded "ImageMagick-6.8.6-0-Q16-x64-static.exe" http://www.imagemagick.org/download/bin ... static.exe

Running "convert -version" or "identify -version" I get a message box:

The progran can't start because CORE_RL_magick_.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I observe that convert.exe etc is much smaller than my older usual installations (200 kbytes instead of 6000 kbytes). This small program size is consistent with "dll" versions of IM, but the installation doesn't (and shouldn't) contain dlls. I suspect a bug in the build process.

My workaround: install ImageMagick-6.8.6-0-Q16-x64-dll.exe instead. This works.

Fixed. Thanks.

Fix confirmed. Thanks.

this is the standalone .exe right? I am having trouble installing such that my local perl install in my dev/test enviroment on my win7 laptop can see it since I call magick thru various perl scripts on websites.... not sure why yet. any ideas? the convert-version run in a command window runs without complaint so it looks like ImageMagick is installed, but the perl: 'cpan Image::Magick' fails to complete the build process to install the module API.
