Re: ImageMagick libs and Ada

["Jeffrey Creem" <jeff@thecreems.com>]

I think you might be stuck then..I'd recommend writing on the cygwin
mailing list to see if there is a way to mix and match cygwin and mingw
programs
in the same image..This is essentially what you want to do and they would
know best
what can be done.

It may not be possible...Does it have to be ImageMagick? Perhaps you can
find some trial COM component that does what you want and gen a binding
to it with gnatcom....Or, can you run under Linux.
