RMagick 2.13.3 on Windows 7 x32 with ImageMagick 6.8.9-6 Q16 x86

[DHB]

I assume this is also related to #39.
This is on

$ ruby -v && gem -v
ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32]
2.0.14

I tried to upgrade to RMagick 2.13.3 using latest Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-6 Q16 x86 2014-07-22 and got this error: https://gist.github.com/9cde39c97c17fe7ebe11

Tried to switch back to RMagick 2.13.2 , still using latest Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-6 Q16 x86 2014-07-22 and got this error: https://gist.github.com/73e248e229c493deaccf

An attempt to install RMagick 2.13.3 using my previous Version: ImageMagick 6.8.0-3 2012-10-24 worked fine.

$ gem install rmagick --version=2.13.3 --platform=ruby -- '--with-opt-lib="h:/ImageMagick-6.8.0-Q16/lib" --with-opt-include="h:/ImageMagick-6.8.0-Q16/include"'

No big deal for the time being, I can live with it, NO urgency!

Since ImageMagick 6.8.9-6 Q16 looks a lot easier on allocating resources:

   File       Area     Memory        Map       Disk   Thread  Throttle       Time
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1536    6.976GB  3.2485GiB  6.4969GiB  unlimited        2         0  unlimited

and I'd love to maintain identical versions between my Linux test/production boxes and my Windows development, it would be nice to be able to upgrade to latest, greatest ImageMagick.

Is the issue related to ImageMagick and version (in)compatibility?

Thanks for this report, there are going to be many issues like this but we'd like to simplify how RMagick is installed going forward. Ideally, we can get this working for the latest release.

It looks like some of the API has changed in ImageMagick and we need to update the C bindings.

Okay, so currently a lot of unit tests are failing for more recent versions of ImageMagick

I've tried to increase visibility as much as possible here.

If you are able to submit fixes or otherwise help with the effort to fix the outstanding issues that would be appreciated.

[DHB]

Not sure I can substantially help - I am not really familiar with the ImageMagick API.
I'll try to look into it more in detail once I have more time.
I can confirm however Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-7 Q16 x86 revealed the same as above.

I apologize for not coming back to you any earlier.

take a look at #175

@DHB are you still having issues installing on Windows as of RMagick 3.0.0?

[mockdeep]

No response, so I'm closing this for now. If it still fails for you on RMagick >= 3.0, please open a new issue.
