I do not want to be quessing, but would exactly need to understand the differences between the various Binary Releases available. Can you help me to clarify the following points please:
- If I use Windows 7 64bit and want to include ImageMagick into my C++ application, which Release of Image Magick should I install? My application should work with 32bit OS as well, and if possible I would like to avoid attaching Image Magick .dlls to my application, so logically static libray linkage should be used.
- Looking at available binay releases, I downloaded "ImageMagick-6.6.4-9-Q16-windows-static.exe", but it contains no .libs for static linkage. Was this forgotten? How to use this release to statically link it to my application?
- In case I simply have to use dynamic library release "ImageMagick-6.6.4-9-Q16-windows-dll.exe"", which are the absolutely needed .dlls that must be delivered with my application, please?
- Are x64 releases backward compatible with x86 (Win32)? I assume no, but I would like to be sure.
Thank you,
Best Regards.
