This is a place holder for ImageMagick.lib ImageMagick.lib will need to be generated and copied to this location for the Win32 plug-in build of ImageMagick to work. To create ImageMagick.lib you will need MC Visaul C++ Version 6.0 or better Check out www.imagemagick.org and get source code for ImageMagick. Follow steps to build ImageMagick Multithreaded static libraries -Build Configure -Run Configure selecting Multithreaded static library -Build VisualStaticMT.dsw In the lib directory you will need to run: lib /OUT:ImageMagick.lib *.lib Include directories will needed to be created or mapped. This means that either copy magick/*.h to VC98/include/magic/*.h magick++/lib/magic++.h to VC98/include/magic++.h magick++/lib/magic++/*.h to VC98/include/magic++/*.h Or define those as part of vcvars32.bat INCLUDE search routines. With the creation of ImageMagick.lib, copy/move it to this directory and continue with the AbiWord build process for this plugin.
