i reread your log, and i think you added the libraries in the wrong field, because there is no -l at the beginning of the library names:
you have to add the libraries in Project->Build Options->Linker Settings->Link libraries

Try this.

Ok, that produced a different error:

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -O2 -I"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\include" -c T:\povpoi\arc.cpp -o T:\povpoi\arc.o

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))
3 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))

So evidently it does need the full path on the libraries. I did make sure to add it in the linker search path by the way.

Try without the .lib extension

[BlueHazzard]

I can't recommend to work without a project. This makes always problems...

if dmoore's tip don't help try this:

Add the compiler option -v in Project->build options->Compiler settings->Other options and Project->build options->Linker settings->Other Linker options and make a rebuild (Build->Rebuild)
this will give you a detailed description of your paths and errors... If you can't find the error you can post the full rebuild log here

greetings

Try without the .lib extension

No dice, back to original errors:

I can't do that because I'm not working inside of a project, so those options are all grayed out. So I'll have to create a new project and import the code and go from there. Give me a minute or two ...

[kirash4]

Here you go. This is following dmoore's suggestion of removing the path from the libraries as well as their extension, and setting (or rather keeping) the search path pointed where the libraries are. I'm seeing where it's searching, and those are correct paths:

FYI:

The order of the libs in linking matter!

I suggest trying different orders of these three.

Code

-lCORE_RL_Magick++_ -lCORE_RL_magick_ -lCORE_RL_wand_

That's what I'm seeing in the log file:

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\lib" -o bin\Release\POVpoi.exe obj\Release\arc.o  -s -v  -lCORE_RL_Magick++_ -lCORE_RL_magick_ -lCORE_RL_wand_

[osdt]

It looks like you are trying to link libraries (CORE_RL_magick_.lib, ...) built for MSVC. This will not work for MinGW as your toolchain. Is there any CORE*.a or CORE*.dll.a file in the lib-folder?

Nope. So if this won't work with the MinGW toolchain with C::B, what would you suggest?

[dmoore]

Get the mingw binary instead. (EDIT: it's confusingly listed under the Unix binaries... this is the one I had downloaded in my earlier posts)

[kirash4]

Ok. This download doesn't have an actual installation, though am I correct in assuming all you're using that for is for linking against? Meaning, can I leave the regular installation in place?

Yes, they should not clash. I think it's common to install these mingw bundles into your mingw folder (so bin ends up in C:\mingw\bin etc) but then it's hard to remove/upgrade outdated libs if you do that.

[kirash4]

Yeah, I can put them elsewhere and just point C::B to them, no biggy. Progress report: I was able to successfully compile my test program. A few warnings, but nothing of real consequence:

My next issue now is that I can't execute the compiled program. First it told me that a libMagick library was missing so I dropped that in the same folder as the compiled binary, but now it's complaining about missing pthreadGC2.dll and I have no idea where that came from.

So, is there a way to create these binaries where they don't rely on the various library files needing to be present in the same folder? I realize this would make the binary itself much larger but in the end I think it would make it easier for distributing.

Could be that they compiled against an older mingw. You might need to compile it yourself. In any case, this is getting off topic for the Code::Blocks forum. You may be better served (and better follow our forum rules) by taking this up on the ImageMagick support forums/lists.
