Simply extract contents of distributed archive somewhere on your hard disk and Imaging is installed. However, you need to setup your compilers to be able to compile Imaging.

You need to add directories listed in the above table to library path.

1. Choose ToolsOptionsEnvironment OptionsDelphi OptionsLibrary - Win32 in Delphi 2005+ or ToolsEnvironment OptionsLibrary in Delphi 7- and Kylix.
2. Add directories to Library path string.

You can write settings to fpc.cfg configuration file or use them directly as command line parameters

1. Use -FuUnitPath parameter for all directories listed in the above table and -FiIncludePath only for (Imaging_Root)\Source directory. Also library path must me added for JPEG2000 (Imaging Root\Extras\Extensions\J2KObjects) using -FlLibPath. Example: fpc -FuD:\Imaging\Source -FuD:\Imaging\Source\JpegLib ... -FiD:\Imaging\Source
2. You should also set compiler mode and other compilation specific options. I use -Sgi2dh and it works. g means allow goto, i means allow function inlining, 2 allows some Delphi 2 extensions, d turns on Delphi compatibility mode and h turns on ANSI strings.

You need to add directory in which Delphi.NET wrapper is located to library path.

1. Choose ToolsOptionsEnvironment OptionsDelphi OptionsLibrary - NET in Delphi 2005+.
2. Add directory to Library path string.

Settings depend entirely on the compiler used. You need to add directory in which C/C++ wrapper headers are located to its include path and then compile ImagingImport.c file located in wrapper directory and link it with your object files. You can find working MS VC++ 8.0 project in Demos\Cpp\Bench directory.

You can also compile Imaging library and demos without setting your compilers. All you need is to make sure that you have paths to compilers' executables in your system's search path (PATH environment variable). Then you can run one of these scripts located in Scripts directory:
