C::B With IM

(1/7) > >>

Ok, this is rather silly. I can't seem to get C::B to compile anything using ImageMagick. Folks on here point fingers at ImageMagick, and the ImageMagick folks point their finger back to C::B. I've seen so many different posts of people trying all manners of options and configuration and I tried them all, nothing works. I don't understand why it's so hard to make it work. I have zero problems on my unix platform: compile IM, install the headers, write my c++ program, compile and link it against IM. Done. It works.

I've spent the better part of this past week fighting with C::B and IM and nothing. I hate having to write my code in C::B, save it to my unix server just to compile it there. And I don't fancy setting up a cross-compiler environment just so I can create Win32 applications. That's the whole reason I'm trying to use C::B with, hopefully, wxWidgets. But I need ImageMagick support as well.

So, has anyone been able to successfully compile code with IM support, using C::B? If so, what steps did you follow? What version of IM did you install, or did you compile it from sources (and if so, did you use C::B to compile it?) What settings did you have to set in C::B to make it work? No matter of options, that I've seen online, appear to work, in the end the linker always fails with unresolved symbols that would normally be there if it links properly.

I feel I'm starting yet another dead-end thread as I have yet to find a solution on these forums or elsewhere. Everyone posts the errors, no one has an answer. But, since you pointed me to that page, let's see if that's all you can help with:

-----

I am running Code::Blocks version 13.12 on Windows
(Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit). The compiler I use is MinGW
version 4.7.1 32-bit.  <-- the one that comes with C::B.

When I ...
Simply can't finish a compile of anything that requires to be linked against the ImageMagick library. Other code that does not use IM compiles fine, no problems. That tells me the compiler itself is working fine. It's merely the final linking step, against IM, that doesn't appear to work, or rather, I can't figure out how it should be configured to work.

Description of problem.
C::B compiles the .o object file but then fails to link it to create the final executable.

     have tried increases the probability of a response.)
I have already tried ...
Every error report I've read/seen online pointed to needing to add the libraries and search paths in C::B, which I have done. When I don't do that, the compiler immediately stops because it can't find 'Magick++.h', so that tells me that at least *some* of the configuration is working, but there's still something missing. So here it is, one at a time:

- Settings->Compiler...
- Under 'Linker Settings' I added the libraries:
--- Code: ---C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\lib\CORE_RL_magick_.lib
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\lib\CORE_RL_Magick++_.lib
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\lib\CORE_RL_wand_.lib
--- End code ---
- 'Other linker options' is empty.
- Under 'Search directories -> Compiler', I added:
--- Code: ---C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\include
--- End code ---
- Under 'Search directories -> Linker', I added:
--- Code: ---C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\lib
--- End code ---

That's all of it.

As for compiling the code from the command line, it won't work in a Win32 shell because IM does not provide a 'Magick++-config' for Win32 platforms. However, in a cygwin environment it compiles fine. On a unix platform, it compiles fine. The command line used in those environments is:
--- Code: ---c++ -O2 <file>.cpp -o <compiled-binary> `Magick++-config --cppflags --cxxflags --ldflags --libs`
--- End code ---

BlueHazzard:
This is a nice compiler error report  from you. It is uncommon to see something complete ;) .

I have no idea what Image hack is nor have i worked with it. But i can give you some general linker hints. gcc is a bit annoying with the order of the libraries. So try to rearrange the libraries in 'Linker Settings'. This are only 3 libraries, so you can try every combination ;)

greetings

kirash4:
I've gone through every permutation of the order and it always fails with the same exact thing. For that matter, if I completely remove the libraries from 'Linker settings' the error remains the same. It's as if it completely ignores the libraries. I don't know if there are linker options I need to be setting (and if so, what they would be.)
