<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Installing Using Installer Package</a></h1>
<blockquote>
This section provides information specific to GraphicsMagick installed
via a "setup.exe" style installation wizard under Microsoft Windows. It
applies only to the pre-built "binaries" package, and not to versions
compiled from source code. If you would like to install GraphicsMagick
from source code, then please refer to the Installing From Source Code
section.</blockquote>
<div class="section" id="prerequisites">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Prerequisites</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<p>While multiple versions of GraphicsMagick may be installed at one
time, if your intention is to replace a prior installation of
GraphicsMagick with a newer version, then it is wise to uninstall
the existing GraphicsMagick (see uninstall procedure) prior to
installing the newer version.</p>
<p>While it is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended that the
<a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/">Ghostscript</a>
package (GraphicsMagick is tested with version 9.27) be
installed. GraphicsMagick uses Ghostscript to render Postscript and
PDF files, as well as formats where a translator to Postscript is
available. GraphicsMagick will use the <a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gs-fonts/">Ghostscript Fonts</a> (also known as "URW
Fonts") to support the standard set of Adobe Postscript fonts like
"Helvetica" and "Times Roman" if these fonts are not available as
TrueType fonts. The Ghostscript fonts need to manually installed
with administrator privileges in the Ghostscript installation
directory (e.g. as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Program</span> Files\gs\fonts</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">C:Program
Files\gs\gs9.27\fonts</tt>).</p>
<p>The algorithm used to find the fonts consults the Windows registry
to learn Ghostscript installation paths, and then looks for a
"fonts/n019003l.pfb" file in each path until it finds a match.</p>
<p>Make sure to install a Ghostscript which is compatible with the
GraphicsMagick you are installing. For example, if you are
installing a 64-bit GraphicsMagick, you should install a 64-bit
Ghostscript. The installation order of the two packages is not
important. Both 32 and 64-bit versions of GraphicsMagick and
Ghostscript may be installed at the same time.</p>

<div class="section" id="retrieve-install-package">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Retrieve Install Package</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<p>Retrieve the GraphicsMagick Windows binary install package from a one
of the ftp sites listed at the <a class="reference external" href="download.html">GraphicsMagick Download Sites</a> page. The available install packages are as follows</p>
<p>Windows Dynamic-Multithread (DLL-based) install package with utilities,
ImageMagickObject COM object, and web pages:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre class="literal-block">
GraphicsMagick-1.3-Q8-win32-dll.exe
GraphicsMagick-1.3-Q16-win32-dll.exe
GraphicsMagick-1.3-Q8-win64-dll.exe
GraphicsMagick-1.3-Q16-win64-dll.exe
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Note that the QuantumDepth=8 version (Q8) which provides industry
standard 24/32 bit pixels consumes half the memory and about 30% less
CPU than the QuantumDepth=16 version (Q16) which provides 48/64 bit
pixels for high-resolution color. A Q8 version is fine for processing
typical photos intended for viewing on a computer screen. If you are
dealing with film, scientific, or medical images, use ICC color
profiles, or deal with images that have limited contrast, then the Q16
version is recommended.</p>
<p>The <cite>win32</cite> packages are for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, whereas the
<cite>win64</cite> packages are only for 64-bit Windows. The 64-bit version
allows processing larger images in memory (rather than disk files),
provided that the system has more than 2GB of RAM installed. Memory
access is 1000 times faster than disk access.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id19">Windows XP, Vista, 7 Visual C++ 6.0 through 19.0 Compilation</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<p>The Visual C++ distribution targeted at Windows 2000 through Windows
10 does not provide any stock workspace (DSW) or project files (DSP)
except for those included with third party libraries. Instead, there
is a "configure" program that must run to create build
environments to satisfy various requirements.</p>
<p>The configure program resides in <tt class="docutils literal">VisualMagick\configure</tt> in the
GraphicsMagick source tree. A pre-compiled configure.exe is
provided, as well as Visual Studio project files to recompile it
from source code if needed.</p>
<p>Once started, the configure program provides this configuration
dialog after proceeding past the initial notifications screen:</p>
<img alt="Configure program screen shot" class="align-center" src="configure-target-setup.png" style="width: 498.0px; height: 473.0px;" />
<p>In addition to (or as a replacement to) the above dialog, the
configure.exe program supports these command-line options:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><cite>/Q8 /Q16 /Q32</cite></dt>
<dd>Set quantum depth</dd>
<dt><cite>/x64</cite></dt>
<dd>Add x64 configuration</dd>
<dt><cite>/mtd /sts /mts /mtsd</cite></dt>
<dd>Set project type</dd>
<dt><cite>/noWizard</cite></dt>
<dd>Do not show the wizard</dd>
<dt><cite>/openMP</cite></dt>
<dd>Enable openMP</dd>
</dl>
<p>The Visual C++ system provides three different types of "runtimes"
that must match across all application, library, and DLL code that is
built. The "configure" program creates a set of build files that are
consistent for a specific runtime selection.</p>
<p>The three options for runtime support are:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Dynamic Multi-threaded DLL runtimes (VisualDynamicMT), <cite>/mtd</cite> option</li>
<li>Static Single-threaded runtimes (<cite>VisualStaticST</cite>), <cite>/sts</cite> option</li>
<li>Static Multi-threaded runtimes (VisualStaticMT), <cite>/mts</cite> option</li>
<li>Static Multi-threaded DLL runtimes (VisualStaticMTDLL), <cite>/mtsd</cite> option</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition to these runtimes, the VisualMagick build environment allows
you to select whether to include the X11 libraries in the build or not.
X11 DLLs and headers are provided with the VisualMagick build
environment. Most Windows users do not use X11 so they will prefer to
build without X11 support. When X11 is not supported, gm subcommands
'animate', 'display', and 'import' will not work.</p>
<p>This leads to five different possible build options, which should
cover almost any particular situation. The default binary
distribution is built using #1 from above with the X11 libraries
excluded. This results build using all DLL's for everything and
multi-threaded support (the only option for DLL's).</p>
<p>To do a build for your requirements, simply go to the configure sub-
directory under VisualMagick and open the configure.dsw workspace
(for Visual C++ 6.0) or configure.sln (for Visual C++ 7.X through
9.X). Set the build configuration to "Release" under the</p>
<blockquote>
"Build..., Set Active Configuration..." menu.</blockquote>
<p>Build and execute the configure program and follow the on-screen
instructions. You should not change any of the defaults unless you have a
specific reason to do so.</p>
<p>The configure program provides a button entitled</p>
<blockquote>
Edit "magick_config.h"</blockquote>
<p>Clicking this button brings up magick_config.h in Windows notepad
for optionally changing any preprocessor defines in GraphicsMagick's
magick_config.h file. This file is copied to
<tt class="docutils literal">magick\magick_config.h</tt>. You may safely open
<tt class="docutils literal">magick\magick_config.h</tt>, modify it, and recompile without
re-running the configure program. In fact, using Visual Studio to
edit the copied file may be preferable since it preserves the
original magick_config.h file.</p>
<p>Key user tunables in magick_config.h include:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>QuantumDepth (default 8)</p>
<blockquote>
Specify size of PixelPacket color Quantums (8, 16, or 32) A value of
8 uses half the memory than 16 and may run 30% faster, but provides
256 times less color resolution than a value of 16.</blockquote>
<p>UseInstalledMagick (default undefined)</p>
<blockquote>
Define to build a GraphicsMagick which uses registry settings or
embedded paths to locate installed components (coder modules and
configuration files). The default is to look for all files in the
same directory as the executable.</blockquote>
<p>ProvideDllMain (default undefined)</p>
<blockquote>
Define to include a DllMain() function ensures that the GraphicsMagick
DLL is properly initialized without participation from dependent
applications. This avoids the requirement to invoke IntializeMagick()
from dependent applications but only works for DLL builds.</blockquote>
<p>EnableBrokenCoders (default undefined)</p>
<blockquote>
Define to enable broken/dangerous file format support. Only
enable this if you have complete control over the input files
and not for arbitrary files such as uploaded from untrusted
sources via the Internet. Currently this must be enabled to
enable Adobe Photoshop Format (PSD).</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>After creating your build environment you can proceed to open the DSW (or
SLN) file that was generated in the VisualMagick directory and build
everything from there.</p>
<p>In the final DSW file you will find a project call "All". In order to
build everything in the distribution, select this project and make it
the "active" project. Set the build configuration to the desired one
(Debug, or Release) and do a "clean" followed by a "build". You should
do the build in a specific way:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Make the "All" project the active project (Bold)
Right click on the All project and select "Set As Active Project"</li>
<li>Select "Build..., Clean"</li>
<li>Select "Build..., Build"</li>
<li>Go get some coffee unless you have a very fast machine!.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>The "Clean" step is needed in order to make sure that all of the target
support libraries are updated with any patches needed to get them to
compile properly under Visual C++.</p>
<p>All of the required files that are needed to run any of the command
line tools will be found in the "bin" subdirectory of the VisualMagick
subdirectory. This includes EXE, and DLL files. You should be able
to test the build directly from this directory without having to move
anything to any of the global SYSTEM or SYSTEM32 areas in the operating
system installation.</p>
<p>Note #1:</p>
<p>The Visual C++ distribution of GraphicsMagick comes with the Magick++
C++ wrapper by default. This add-on layer has a large number of demo
and test files that can be found in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\Magick++\demo</span></tt>, and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\Magick++\tests</span></tt>. There are also a variety of tests that
use the straight C API as well in <tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\tests</tt>.</p>
<p>All of these programs are NOT configured to be built in the default
workspace created by the configure program. You can cause all of these
demos and test programs to be built by checking the box in configure
that says:</p>
<blockquote>
"Include all demo and test programs"</blockquote>
<p>In addition, there is another related checkbox (checked by default)
that causes all generated project files to be created standalone so
that they can be copied to other areas of you system.</p>
<p>This is the checkbox:</p>
<blockquote>
"Generate all utility projects with full paths rather then relative
paths"</blockquote>
<p>WOW - that a mouthfull - eh?</p>
<p>Visual C++ uses a concept of "dependencies" that tell it what other
components need to be build when a particular project is being build. This
mechanism is also used to ensure that components link properly. In my normal
development environment, I want to be able to make changes and debug the
system as a whole, so I like and NEED to use dependencies. However, most
end users don't want to work this way.</p>
<p>Instead they really just want to build the package and then get down
to business working on their application. The solution is to make all
the utility projects (UTIL_xxxx_yy_exe.dsp) use full absolute paths
to all the things they need. This way the projects stand on their own
and can actually be copied and used as templates to get a particular
custom application compiling with little effort.</p>
<p>With this feature enabled, you should be able to nab a copy of...</p>
<blockquote>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">VisualMagick\utilities\UTIL_gm_xxx_exe.dsp</tt> (for C)</p>
<blockquote>
-or-</blockquote>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">VisualMagick\Magick++\demo\UTIL_demo_xxx_exe.dsp</span></tt> (for C++)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>... and pop it into notepad, modify it (carefully) to your needs and
be on your way to happy compiling and linking.</p>
<p>You can feel free to pick any of the standard utilities, tests, or
demo programs as the basis for a new program by copying the project
and the source and hacking away.</p>
<p>The choice of what to use as a starting point is very easy...</p>
<p>For straight C API command line applications use something from</p>
<blockquote>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\tests</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\utilities</tt> (source code)</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\VisualMagick\tests</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\Visualmagick\utilities</tt>
(project - DSP)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For C++ and Magick++ command line applications use something from</p>
<blockquote>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\Magick++\tests</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\Magick++\demo</span></tt> (source code)</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\VisualMagick\Magick++\tests</span></tt> or
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GraphicsMagick\VisualMagick\Magick++\demo</span></tt> (project - DSP)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For C++ and Magick++ and MFC windows applications use</p>
<blockquote>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\win2k\IMDisplay</tt> (source code)</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">GraphicsMagick\VisualMagick\win32\NtMagick</tt> (project - DSP)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Note #2:</p>
<p>The GraphicsMagick distribution is very modular. The default
configuration is there to get you rolling, but you need to make some
serious choices when you wish to change things around.</p>
<p>The default options are all targeted at having all the components in one
place (e.g. the "bin" directory of the VisualMagick build tree). These
components may be copied to another folder (such as to another computer).</p>
<p>The folder containing the executables and DLLs should contain the
following files:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>colors.mgk</li>
<li>delegates.mgk</li>
<li>log.mgk</li>
<li>magic.mgk</li>
<li>modules.mgk</li>
<li>type.mgk</li>
<li>type-ghostscript.mgk (if Ghostscript is used)</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>The "bin" folder should contains all EXE's and DLL's as well as the
very important "modules.mgk" file.</p>
<p>With this default setup, you can use any of the command line tools
and run scripts as normal. You can actually get by quite nicely this
way by doing something like <tt class="docutils literal">pushd <span class="pre">e:\xxx\yyy\bin</span></tt> in any scripts you
write to execute "out of" this directory.</p>
<p>By default the core of GraphicsMagick on Win32 always looks in the place
were the exe program is run from in order to find all of the files as
well as the DLL's it needs.</p>

<div class="section" id="environment-variables">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id20">Environment Variables</a></h2>
<blockquote>
<p>You can use the "System" control panel to allow you to add and delete
what is in any of the environment variables. You can even have user
specific environment variables if you wish.</p>
<p>PATH</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This sets the default list of places were Windows looks for EXE's and
DLL's. Windows CMD shell seems to look in the "current" directory first
- no matter what, which may make it unnecessary to update the PATH. If
you wish to run any of utilities from another location then you must
add the path to your "bin" directory in. For instance, you might add:</p>
<blockquote>
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">D:\Devel\GraphicsMagick\VisualMagick\bin</span></tt></blockquote>
<p>to do this for the default build environment like I do.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>MAGICK_HOME</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If all you do is modify the PATH variable, the first problem you
will run into is that GraphicsMagick may not be able to find any of
its "modules. Modules are all the IM_MOD*.DLL files you see in the
distribution. There is one of these for each and every file format
that GraphicsMagick supports. This environment variable tells the system
were to look for these DLL's. The compiled in "default" is "execution
path" - which says - look in the same place that the application is
running "in". If you are running from somewhere other then "bin" -
this will no longer work and you must use this variable. If you elect
to leave the modules in the same place as the EXE's (a good idea)
then you can simply set this to the same place
as you did the PATH variable. In my case:</p>
<blockquote>
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">D:\\GraphicsMagick\coders</span></tt></blockquote>
<p>This is also the place were GraphicsMagick expects to find the
"colors.mgk", "delegates.mgk", "magic.mgk", "modules.mgk", and
"type.mgk" files.</p>
<p>One cool thing about the modules build of GraphicsMagick is that you can
now leave out file formats and lighten you load. If all you ever need
is GIF and JPEG, then simply drop all the other DLL's into the local
trash can and get on with your life.</p>
<p>WARNING: Always keep the "xc" format, since GM uses it for internal
purposes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>ALSO. You can elect to changes these things the good old "hard-coded"
way. Two #defines are applicable.</p>
<p>defines.h has</p>
<blockquote>
<tt class="docutils literal">#define MagickConfigurePath <span class="pre">"c:\\GraphicsMagick\\"</span></tt></blockquote>
<p>To view any image in a Microsoft window, type</p>
<blockquote>
<tt class="docutils literal">gm convert image.ext win:</tt></blockquote>
<p>Make sure Ghostscript is installed, otherwise, you will be unable to
convert or view a Postscript document, and Postscript standard fonts will
not be available.</p>
<p>You may use any standard web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to browse
the GraphicsMagick documentation.</p>
<p>The Win2K executables will work under Windows '98 and later.</p>
