Automating ImageMagick Visual Studio build

Post by DanKegel »

I kind of like the ImageMagick installer for Windows, but needed to be able to nearly duplicate its output with variations.
And I really need this to be an automated build that I can invoke inside a buildbot,
so others here don't have to learn how to build it.

So I wrote a little cygwin script that (nearly) automates the process of
building ImageMagick with Visual Studio and swizzling the output
into the same directories the installer does.

It's kind of a work in progress, but maybe others will find it useful.
It's at
http://kegel.com/imagemagick-build.sh.txt

Caveats:
- only does dll bulds
- builds both release and debug
- includes .pdb files next to .dll's
- doesn't include all files yet
- untested

Newer version of autoconf allow to build using msvc.

See for instance
