in thread Imager with JPEG support on Windows

Imager doesn't grab the libraries even when I hard-code their locations in the makefile. This is a god-awful installation (for Windows at least). Guess I'll have to try something different.

    I'm sure with Imager, you are supposed to specify the libraries and the search paths when running the Makefile.PL. If that doesn't work, you will have to show the console output of what happens when you run Makefile.PL.

      Yes, I've tried to specify where the libraries are (via command line and by hardcoding them in the makefile) - in fact, I used the README's exact example and got an error:

      'IM_INCPATH' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

      Here's an example of the console output:

      Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) done. gif: includes not found - libraries not found ungif: includes not found - libraries not found jpeg: includes not found - libraries not found png: includes not found - libraries not found tiff: includes not found - libraries not found freetype2: includes not found - libraries not found freetype2: not available T1-fonts: includes not found - libraries not found TT-fonts: includes not found - libraries not found w32: includes not found - libraries not found EXIF support enabled 'IM_INCPATH' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

      I guess basically what I'm looking for are step by step working instructions to install JPEG support in Imager. Unfortunately, everything I find online either doesn't work or is written for *nix.

        You haven't shown how you start the Makefile.PL and what values you set $ENV{IM_INCPATH} to.
