How to include IM to C++ project?

[VanGog]

Can you explain me what I must do when I want to use IM as library in C++ project? I am working with Visual Studio C++ Express 2010 and I would like to open images with IM. I expect I should include some directories and files or libraries which come with IM source. But I don't want to build IM executable, I want just to include only those libraries which are needed to open images (jpg, png, tiff, bmp).

The install page
http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Install.html
contains instructions how to compile it but I want to include it to my own program.

Probably I could use this class
http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Image.html
I need help which directories to include. When I try the first code on the page
I got error
fatal error C1021: invalid preprocessor command 'warning' in magick-config.h

Code: Select all

# warning "you should set MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH to sensible default set it to configure time default"

Even that I added the directory C:\ImageMagick-windows\ImageMagick-6.8.6\
and C:\ImageMagick-windows\ImageMagick-6.8.6\Magick++\lib
to include directories.

I have fixed first problem (I added the recommended command line options to compiler viewtopic.php?f=23&t=22528), but here are new problems:

what am I missing?

[fmw42]

I know nothing about C++, but see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick++.php and documentation links there, especially http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/tut ... torial.pdf

[VanGog]

Useful information. Thanks. I have found that I need
Cygwin & GCC

It is possible to build both ImageMagick and Magick++ under the Cygwin Unix-emulation environment for Windows NT. Obtain and install Cgywin from http://www.cygwin.com/ . An X11R6 environment for Cygwin is available from http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/

Anybody has idea if I can use compiled version or do I need to compile?
