Distribution on Windows

[trentg]

I compiled IM with MinGW/MSYS and I can load and display images using the Magick++ program interface. My problem is that I will need to distribute ImageMagick dlls (MagickCore and MagickWand), but I also need to distribute "coders". So my question is, where do I put these "coders" for distribution?

To build a distribution of ImageMagick under Linux / Mac OS X / MinGW that is portable, use these commands:

• cd ImageMagick-6.4.2
  ./configure --disable-shared --disable-installed --prefix=/tmp/ImageMagick
  make
  make install

You will now find a portable distribution of ImageMagick in the /tmp/ImageMagick folder. Now type,

• cd /tmp/ImageMagick
  export MAGICK_HOME=/tmp/ImageMagick
  bin/convert -debug configure logo: logo.png

You can keep the folder heirarchy as is or move all the ImageMagick files into one folder (*.exe, *.xml, *.a, etc.). If you do that, type

• convert -debug configure logo: logo.png

to verify ImageMagick locates its configuration files.
