Hi Lee and Marcus, thanks for the replies.
Please forward the static ndll to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and Thanks!)
I wouldn't mind having it for reference.
I *did* get it to compile finally, I played around with the settings for
a couple more hours. I changed so many things in Visual Studio I don't
completely recall what I did. And I'm not sure if I complied static or
dynamic and I'm not completely sure what the difference is, or how to
change that!
I ended up having to go with ImageMagick 6.3.3 which is missing a bunch
of of .lib files that were linked in the project. I removed the
references to them hoping that whatever was in those files before is in
the 3 files that are left. I had to change Runtime Library to
MultiThreading (/MT) to get it to work, and I think I commented out a
couple functions having to do with adaptive sharpening and something
else. Eventually I got to the point where I still had 30-some errors,
but no warnings. I think I just about fell out of my chair when it
compiled.
Anyway, I managed to write a few more functions in the Manager.hx class
and accomplish exactly what I set out to do. After all this time, C
isn't as scary or mystifying as I once thought is was, although it seems
very expansive and confusing in some areas. I will spend more time
playing with the libraries and seeing if I can get more functions to
work. I can email you the results if you're interested in merging the
functions into your Manager class.
Also, if you don't mind a couple more questions (from a C newbie): What
makes an ndll different from another library...specifically, what is
done differently for neko (in C or in VS) than would be done to compile
something for another language?
Sorry for the long post, I am rather excited to have made it this far!
Cheers,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
I have a statically linked version of the ndll here, which means you
won't / shouldn't need ImageMagick installed to use it. If you like,
I could email it to you. If so, what email address would you prefer I
send it to?
Regards,
Lee

Hi Lee,
I was going through the thread about nMagick and tried to follow
along (XP pro). I downloaded the source from google code, got Visual
Studio 7 up and running and spent the last 2 days trying to get it to
spit out something remotely resembling the .ndll. I don't really
know anything about C (except that it's a language) and each attempt
to fiddle my way through the project has only resulted in more
compile errors than less (the last attempt was ~4000 errors, and I
think 37 warnings, mostly having to do with the ImageMagick libraries).
Mostly I'm just looking for a simple way to resize an image in a haXe
program. Have you had a chance to compile the ndll? I noticed some
of the haXe classes are started...I wouldn't mind trying to
contribute to the class writing (it would take a little more fiddling
to figure out what the hekko I'm doing ;).
Cheers,
Aaron
