Building ImageMagick for Visual Studio 2013

Question

I'm trying to build ImageMagick for Visual Studio Express 2013. I've followed the steps here with the exception of running "UpgradeToVS2012.cmd": ImageMagick with VS2012

When I build it I get 4000 odd linker errors as presumably the libraries it uses aren't meant for VS2013. It works fine for VS2012.

Has anyone had any success in getting it to work with VS2013?

Answer 1

Using @dlemstra 's advice I ran UpgradeToVS2012.cmd and opened it with VS Express 2013. This gave new errors about missing header files.

I managed to finally build the solution by using VS Ultimate instead of Express. I'm not sure why this worked but it did.
