Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I downloaded the ImageMagic C++ version 6.3.5-7 Beta source code from ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagi ... indows.zip,
and I am using VS 2005 to build it.

I followed the instructions in Install-windows.txt. So, I ran configure.exe and generated the VisualDynamicMT.sln solution file.

However, I got linking error when compiling the code with the above solution. Any clue how to fix it?

Below is the the linking error:

One of the root cause seems some function/macro aren't defined when X11 is not defined (#if defined X11).

For example, XAnimateBackgroundImage isn't defined anywhere actually when X11 is not defined.
However, XAnimateBackgroundImage is called in wand\animate.c .

Any hint how to fix it?

Thanks!
