CYGWIN and -liquid-rescale, how do I make it work ?

[johowie]

Hi,
I would like to use -liquid-rescale but my installation of IM within CYGWIN does not have the LQR delegate installed.
Reading through many posts I still cant understand what is the best way to make this work.
Advice and instructions would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Jo

I know little about installing delegate libraries on Window or under Cygwin. The unix delegate, however, can be found at http://liblqr.wikidot.com/. You would have to install the delegate and then reinstall IM w/cygwin assuming you already have cygwin installed.
(There is no Windows version to my knowledge and I don't believe liquid-rescale is supported in IM under Windows without cygwin)

You might check http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ for IM/Cygwin on Windows to see if there is any insight into delegate library installation.

Thanks for that, does anyone else have any guidance ? I hoping someone has done this in windows cgywin and can give step by step instruction (big ask I know !)

I've just tested it in a normal CMD box and got the same error. It seems like the delegate is not part of the precompiled Windows version until now, see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20166. This has probably nothing to do with Cygwin.

If the developers decided to leave it out, there are probably some difficulties they encountered and it's doubtful that these can be overcome by someone who's not so deeply involved in the project as them. Maybe you should post on the Developers forum.
