Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I'm developing a Java application which uses JMagick (and therefore ImageMagick). I would like the end-user to NOT have to install ImageMagick along with my application.

Is it possible to simply distribute the DLLs (and whatever other files are required) with my application and have it function properly? I've tried including the DLLs, the config folder and the modules folder but still get errors (the application works fine when using the "installed" ImageMagick but NOT when I rename the ImageMagick install directory to "logically remove" it's DLLs from the PATH), The DLLs ARE being found (no loader errors) but JMagick is unable to get an image handle (again, it works fine against the "installed" ImageMagick).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Build ImageMagick from the Windows source distribution. Choose the static multi-threaded build from the configure application. You do not need to change any of the magick configuration options other than setting the quantum depth to 8 if you prefer (the default is 16). After the build, move all the files in the VisualMagick/bin folder into a single folder within your distribution. ImageMagick will automatically check this folder for all its dependancies at execution time.

Great! Thanks!

But for development when I try to link against the libs in VisualMagick/Lib/*.ilb files, it gives linking errors because the include files in magick++ declare all the classes with declspec!!
