1 This document describes the requirements and instructions to build ImageMagick 2 for Windows on your own machine. 3 4 Requirements 5 6 o Visual Studio 2013 (or newer) 7 o Git for Windows 8 o AMD APP SDK (optional 9 for OpenCL support) 10 11 Install Visual Studio dependencies 12 13 To build ImageMagick with Visual Studio the following components should 14 be installed: 15 16 o Desktop development with C++ (workload) 17 o Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64 18 o Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64 19 o Windows XP support for C++ (optional if the output needs to run on Windows 20 XP) 21 22 Naming of these components might differ between version of Visual Studio. The 23 example above use the Visual Studio 2017 names. 24 25 Clone the dependencies 26 27 The ImageMagick library is build with a number of third party libraries. Run 28 CloneRepositories.cmd to clone these libraries and the ImageMagick library. 29 30 Build configure.exe 31 32 One of the folders that was created in the previous step is called VisualMagick 33 and this folder contains a folder called configure. This folder contains a 34 solution configure.sln. Open this solution with Visual Studio and start a 35 Release build of the project. This will create a file called configure.exe in 36 the folder. Running this program will start a Wizard that allows configuration 37 of ImageMagick and its individual components. 38 39 Build ImageMagick 40 41 Depending on which options where chosen when running configure.exe one of 42 the following solutions will be created in the VisualMagick folder: 43 44 o VisualDynamicMT.sln (Dynamic Multi-threaded DLL runtimes) 45 o VisualStaticMTD.sln (Static Multi-threaded DLL runtimes) 46 o VisualStaticMT.sln (Static Multi-threaded runtimes) 47 48 Open the solution to start building ImageMagick. The binaries will be created 49 in the VisualMagick\bin folder. 50
