Problem With The Libgd

This code crashes on gdImageGifAnimBegin

Code:

#include <gd.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, CHAR ** argv)
{

    gdImagePtr im = gdImageCreate(100, 100);
    FILE * out = fopen("anim.gif", "wb");

    if(out)
    {
        gdImageGifAnimBegin(im, out, 1, -1);
        gdImageGifAnimEnd(out);
        fclose(out);
    }

    gdImageDestroy(im);
    return 0;
}

Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea (ntdll.dll) in Stupid.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000010.

I can't understand why it is failing on this section. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 8, and the shared library DLL is compiled with VC6 under multithreaded mode

Does anyone know why

> FILE * out = fopen("anim.gif", "wb");
Just out of curiosity, have you tried opening the file in read mode instead of write mode?

Yeayea.

The problem was the that the binary distribution of the libgd that I was using was compiled with VC6, which was incompatible with me. I had to compile the library which was a bit of an ordeal, but I'd like to thank the the libgd support crew. It works now!

Hello all,

I'm having the same problem. Can you give me a summary of how to compile libgd using MS Visual Studio 8, because the version delivered on the site did not worked
I'm using MSVC 8 on an Windows system.

Or, can you, please, give me the library compiled by you.. I think it will work.

I'm disperate, I have to finish a task at work in 3 days and I've already lost this day trying to make it work, but useless.

Thanks in advance,
Raz
