[magick-users] what does this error mean?

[Ross Presser]

I found a Visual C++ project for the code in the cvs
repository. It compiled successfully. Configuring it is a bit weird though.

I found that if I installed the cygwin version, then replaced the exe file
with the new one I just compiled, and finally
SET CGM=c:\Program files\Ralcgm\Data\
then I was able to do some conversions by running ralcgm -d ps input.cgm
output.ps

However it is not yet integrated into my ImageMagick installation -- I can't
just go "convert input.cgm output.jpg". That requires modifying the delegate
file, and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. My early attempts failed.

My compiled exe is at http://rpresser.googlepages.com/ralcgm-vc8-exe.zip
