Deploying Image Magick

Post by mtdimich »

I am using Convert.exe with c++. I call it using the command line arguments. When I deploy this app to my server, can simply copy the Convert.exe over to the server (assuming all system paths are set or .exe is in the current directory) or is it necessary to do a full install?

I guess a better way to phrase this question would be can Convert.exe act as a stand alone program or does it depend on other files.

Thanks!

The least amount of dependencies for the convert program under Windows is to generate an uninstalled static build of convert.exe and please all the *.xml and *.icc configuration files in the same folder as convert.exe. With this setup no window registry or environment variables need to be set.
