building ImageMagick source with cygwin and mingw

[ravindra]

Hi,
I am trying to build ImageMagick source on windows with the help of cygwin and mingw. I have taken the source available for Unix.It is failing in make step.
Here are the configuration options that I have selected:

• ./configure --prefix=/home/canvera/imageMagick/ --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-delegate-build CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include' LDFLAGS='-L/lib' -disable-dependency-tracking --without-wmf --disable-openmp

It gives the following error in make step:

• *** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive /home/canvera/ImageMagick-6.8.8-7/magick/libMagickCore-6.Q16.la.
  *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
  *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
  *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

and many more errors...

Can anyone help me out to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance.

We tried your configure script command-line with ImageMagick 6.8.8-8, the current release, under CYGWIN64 and it compiled and ran without complaint. We're not sure why its failing for you.

Do these undefined references belong to imageMagick lib? which mingw version have you used?
