Current Windows binary installation packages do not have APIs?

Post by cstinson »

Hello, perhaps I am missing something obvious, but it seems the currently available Windows binary distribution packages do not contain any options to install the APIs?

I have an older version of the 64-bit package (7.0.2-6) which does contain and install the APIs, however I'm looking for the 32-bit static versions for a current project - hence the need to download something different.

I am guessing that your older version is a dynamic build. We don't provide development libraries for the static version of ImageMagick. You can still create a static linked version of ImageMagick but you will need to build IM yourself. You can find an example in my Magick.NET project: https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET/ ... uilding.md
.NET + ImageMagick = Magick.NET https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET, @MagickNET, Donate

Alternatively, I show how to build ImageMagick (but without Magick.NET) with Cygwin on my "Compiling IM with Cygwin" page. This provides C and C++ API interfaces.
