Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi everyone,

I am just starting to work with ImageMagick, in c++ on Visual Studio 2010. However I keep encountering this error whenever I try to use ConstituteImage:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_ConstituteImage referenced in function _main

I am trying to write a png image, so was hoping to use ConstituteImage to first create an image. I have made sure that both constitute.h and constitute.c is the library, and I have also linked my project to the ImageMagick directory and also the one that holds constitute.c:

../ImageMagick-6.4.9
../ImageMagick-6.4.9/magick

Does anyone know what might be causing this error?

Thanks,

The usual (and best) advice in this situation is that you first open the button demo project and make sure it compiles and runs as-is.
Then you can modify that code.

I tried compiling the button demo, and it doesn't work either. Getting a bunch of LNK2019 errors similar to what I had before with ConstituteImage. This is the first time I have worked with C source so I don't really have a sense of what might be causing this. The function definitions all seem to be in the right place.

I found a previous post that had encountered similar errors:

But I am still not sure what the solution.
