Hello!

I would like to use it on my dev-machine for development purposes - together with imagemagick.
Unfortunately there is no windows builds available.

Would it be possible to make it?

Thank you,
Marcin

I have successfully compiled the library with both MinGW/MSYS and Microsoft Visual C++ Express editions 2008 & 2010 (the instructions are provided in the README.Windows file in the source code).

With MinGW/MSYS it is actually very easy, you just use:

configure --prefix=/mingw/
make
make install

You will need the glib library, which you can get from here (both the “Binaries” and “Dev” packages of GLib - extract them in the /mingw/ directory).
If you want to link the library statically instead of dynamically, follow the instructions in the README.Windows file, but note that there's an error: option disable-declspec should be disable-dllimport.

I'm not releasing windows builds because I don't really know Windows and I'm not sure how they're supposed to be made (help with this is welcome).

Also, I'm not releasing Visual C++ project files because I'm not sure if they can be distributed, but if you use Visual C++ and follow the instructions provided with the liblqr sources just note that there's a typo in README.Windows: LQR_EXPORT should be LQR_EXPORTS instead.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help.

I have successfully compiled the libraries with MS Visual C++ 2010.
As a result of compilation, I have two files: liblqr-1-0.dll and liblqr-1-0.lib.

Where to put those two files to make ImageMagic to work on Windows 7 x64?

Thanks,
Josip
