Emacs 26.1 64 bit with imagemagick 7 support

This repository contains a recipe for building emacs with imagemagick 7 support for the mingw64 architecture.

This recipe was created combining

• the original mingw package recipe for building emacs (https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages) with
• the imagemagick 7 patch from https://github.com/m-parashar/emax64

The build requires Imagemagick v7.0.7.28. You find this package under releases.

How to build emacs yourself

Install Imagemagick v7.0.7.28.

See https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Creating-Packages for general information on building mingw packages. To build the package clone the repo then run MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 makepkg-mingw -sCLf in the repo-clone’s root dir.

Known Issues

Building emacs for the mingw32 architecture currently fails. I won’t look into this, because I only use the 64 bit version.
