[GM-help] GM built on 7 cannot read images on XP

[Kenneth T. <ken...@gm...>]

Quick Q before I dig in further: should GM built on Windows 7 using VC++ 
  work OK on XP, or do I need to build on XP for an XP app?

Sorry if my ignorance is showing, I am just a Lisp programmer using 
various C DLLs and only occasionally compiling/building. In this case it 
was because I need DLLs that do not consult the registry since I am 
distributing a retail app.

The DLLs run fine on Vista and 7, and magick-read-image fails (returns 
0) on JPG and BMP, forget if I tried GIF. Unfortunately my only XP box 
now refuses to talk to the internet so it makes debugging a little 
harder. I'll see if I can get GM installed from binaries and see what 
that does (but I suspect it will work because this was my main dev box 
for a long time).
