GraphicsMagick / Bugs / #671 Migrating project(s) from VS 7.0 to VS 2022 results in unsuccessful compilation

Hi! I appreciate your work. Since you've mentioned building works with 2019 it seemed logical to try that out. It resulted in errors again, and not being able to compile successfully. I have traced and debugged errors and was able to resolve this with a successful build. That is the end result of today's exploration. I'd still leave this issue open for some time, since I still have to see if library files are working. I'll report that back.

The whole fat trace is down below. It is lengthy. The summary and short and simple steps are at the bottom, below. I suggest somebody in your team creates a local backup of third party linked logs. Since they will expire.

platform
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.11.17, with latest C/C++ and Windows SDK packages.
Available to download from Microsoft developer intranet. You have to have a MS account to able to access.

This time I made a backup copy of source directory, because I'll need it again definitely, so no need to waste internet and request files from repository.

Migration done.

Again, wholesome of warnings and messages. No errors.

Closed Visual Studio. Right click -> Open with Visual Studio 2019
Build -> Configuration manager
Set it to Release (from Debug). Each project stays at Win32 platform, but 'All' stays at x64, and 'Active solution platform' is also x64. This time@
I changed it to Win32 and x86 respectively (for 'All'). I suppose this doesn't impact anything, as VS handles that automaticaly, since everything else@
automatically switches to Win32.

Build -> Build solution
Build fails after ~3-4 minutes. 23 Errors, 244 Warnings

So, building at this system fails in Visual Studio 2019.

I've remembered that for ImageMagick I've needed to download additional VS packages. I've re run VS installer and Modified it. In 'Individual compontents'
tab I search for 'MFC x64 latest'. I select every package - there are 2 packages (2.33 GB). Now I search for 'ATL x64 latest'. Search returns 3 packages, and they
are already selected. I download and install.

Build -> Build solution.
Build fails pretty soon, almost under a minute. This time 13 Errors, 26 Warnings. Guess that's a score? (Since we lowered Errors and Warnings.)

Analyzing errors I find multiple errors 'cannot open input file', linker is searching for '\GM\VisualMagick\lib\CORE_RL_tiff_.lib' but can not find @
the file.

Doesn't return anything. Files are not there. This is error code LNK1181, and we have 9 of them.

Looks like different error this time. Yay! This time it is 'CORE_DB_jpeg_.lib'.

Great, 'CORE_DB_webp_.lib' was created.

"CORE_DB_webp_.lib"

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ find -name "CORE_DB_webp_.lib"
./CORE_DB_webp_.lib

It's here. Awesome.

Back to libtiff.

Build.
Immediately fails.

Different error. The pattern now is clearly visible. Guess we'll have to do each library one by one.

I think we renamed it from this name?
history: dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ mv "CORE_jpeg.lib" "CORE_DB_jpeg_.lib"

Yes we did. Now we're going to clumsily copy it and have both identical files. This is not what one does if one want's to be certain
of correct program execution/building/development. Anyway.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ cp "CORE_DB_jpeg_.lib" "CORE_jpeg.lib"

Succeeded. Ok, now let's go back to graphicsmagick project.

Hopefully we didn't break some things. Hehe, probably we did.

Remember, last time we had 13 Errors, 26 Warnings.

Let's see the score now.

Build.
Fails pretty fast. Under a minute. 7 Errors, 26 Warnings.

Guess we resolved 6 errors, and warnings are left intact.

Let's see. Some projects expect 'CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib'. Well, let's build it.

I'm feeling so inspired so I changed 'Target Name' inside Project -> Properties from '$(ProjectName)' -> '$(ProjectName)_RELEASE'
so it doesn't overwrite any previous files.

Let's see.

Great.

Now just we need to rename 'CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib' to 'CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib'.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ find -name "CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib"
./CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ echo mv "CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib" "CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib"
mv CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ find -name "CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib"
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ mv "CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.
CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.pdb
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/lib$ mv "CORE_jpeg_RELEASE.lib" "CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib"

Back to graphicsmagick. Let's see.

Warns me and prompts me that project 'CORE_jpeg' has been modified, which has. Okay let's revert the 'TargetName' back to '$(ProjectName)'.

I'm going to click 'Ignore' so the project matches default settings.

Build.
Fails pretty fast.

Down to 4 Errors. And 10 Warnings. This is positive.

Now we have some unresolved external symbols. Let's dig in. Let's dig in first into jxl, I like _JxlDecoderVersion string more. It's more pretty.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/coders$ ls | grep "jxl"
IM_MOD_jxl_mt_dll.vcproj
IM_MOD_jxl_mt_dll.vcxproj
IM_MOD_jxl_mt_dll.vcxproj.filters
IM_MOD_jxl_mt_dll.vcxproj.user

C:\Users\dev\Desktop\GM\VisualMagick\coders
IM_MOD_jxl_mt_dll.vcproj -> open with VS2019
Same story. Migration prompt, overwrite no.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/coders$ grep --line-number -i 'JxlDecoderVersion' ../../cod
ers/jxl.c
1123: int encoder_version=(JxlDecoderVersion());

It looks we lack:

#if defined(HasJXL)
#include <jxl decode.h="">
#include <jxl encode.h="">
#include <jxl thread_parallel_runner.h=""></jxl></jxl></jxl>

source files. And HasJXL results in False. So this is not much of importance, maybe.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/gm$ find -name decode.h | grep jxl
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/gm$ find -name encode.h | grep jxl
dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/gm$ find -name thread_parallel_runner.h | grep jxl

Looks we are lacking source files.

Let's just then bind JxlDecoderVersion() to a dummy function.

Internet gives prommising results: https://docs.rs/jpegxl-sys/0.3.4-alpha.0/jpegxl_sys/fn.JxlDecoderVersion.html
We get "example, version 1.2.3 would return 1002003."

Let's just use 1002003 and hardcode it.

Adding: Inside jxl.c add:

// fix for JxlDecoderVersion(), for graphicsmagick
int JxlDecoderVersion() {
return 1002003;
}

Save All.

Back to graphicsmagick.
Build.
Fails.

Great, down to 2 Errors, 4 Warnings.

Now let's dig in IM_MOD_heif.

C:\Users\dev\Desktop\GM\VisualMagick\coders
IM_MOD_heif_mt_dll.vcproj -> Open with VS2019
Same story. Migration prompt. Overwrite no.

dev@DESKTOP-F1VL0I2:/mnt/c/Users/dev/Desktop/GM/VisualMagick/coders$ grep --line-number -i 'heif_get_version_number' ../
../coders/heif.c
539: int encoder_version=heif_get_version_number();

It uses same code scheme as previous library. Let's search online for some int that we'll hardcode.
Similar thing here. "https://docs.rs/libheif-sys/1.12.0/libheif_sys/fn.heif_get_version_number.html"
But no integer.
Let's hardcode one random.

// fix for heif_get_version_number(), for graphicsmagick
int heif_get_version_number() {
return 1000000;
}

Save all.

Build. But this time it build only heif. Weird. This is my error / weird quirk, I was distracted for a second.

Close solution. Reopen.

Build.

Build started...
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 125 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Looks like we got a winner.

summary

These were the steps taken to achieve a successful build on this system.

EDIT:
- add latest MFC x64 and ATL x64 compontents to Visual Studio (you can find more details in trace above) (I've left this out, mistakenly., this line is the edit)

build CORE_DB_jbig_.lib
build CORE_jpeg.lib
rename "CORE_jpeg.lib" to "CORE_DB_jpeg_.lib"
build "CORE_DB_webp_.lib"
build "CORE_DB_zlib_.lib"

copy "CORE_DB_jpeg_.lib" to "CORE_jpeg.lib"

At this step libtiff builds successfuly.

build "CORE_RL_jpeg_.lib"

add:
// fix for JxlDecoderVersion(), for graphicsmagick
int JxlDecoderVersion() {
return 1002003;
}
to jxl.c in GM/coders/
called by
1123: int encoder_version=(JxlDecoderVersion());

add
// fix for heif_get_version_number(), for graphicsmagick
int heif_get_version_number() {
return 1000000;
}
to heif.c in GM/coders/
called by
539: int encoder_version=heif_get_version_number();

graphicmagick builds here successfuly now.

conslusion
That's it for today. There are other things orbiting my mind, but now I'll have to think about other things. I still didn't test ./bin and ./lib files - are they going to be able to run without errors, are they correct. Note, this may be this my system specific error. So take that into consideration so it doesn't cause you trouble down the way.

While I would gladly jump in and try do debug and resolve mentioned conflicts regardings configure project and output .sln files, sadly, I have lots of real life obligations that need to be done first.

Hope that this is helpful for the project. Once more, thanks for your work and have a wonderful day today!
