Question

I am having some issues to certify my app on Microsoft Store due some problems with Magick.NET-Q8-AnyCPU.dll
One possible solution is recompile the DLL with some linker directives: /safeseh /dynamicbase /nxcompat /appcontainer

Please, Could you give me some directions about how to proper recompile Magick.NET-Q8-AnyCPU.dll ? Where can I find the source code?

Thank you for all your work. The library is really good!

Both /dynamicbase and /nxcompat are on by default. It looks like /safeseh is only valid for the x86 build but I could probably enable that. But with the /appcontainer the library will be forced to run inside an app container and I am not sure what happens when I enable that and use the library in a desktop application.

You can find the source for that library here: https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.Native and there are some minimal building instructions in the Building.md file in the root.

@dlemstra would be possible to you to build a separated version of Magick.Native with appcontainer directive?
I am trying to build it locally on my laptop, but I am getting a lot of error.

Thank you again!

Not sure if that would solve your issue maybe other things also need to change? Maybe we could do this in steps to test if it works? I could build a version and add a link here and go from there? This will probably take a while but hope that works for you.

@dlemstra It sounds good to me. I'm not sure if it would work but I think it worth to try. If you post a link where I can download and submit my app for a new certification on the store

Hey there! Were you able to get your app on the store? If so, would you possibly be able to let me know how you went about it? Currently running into the same issues as you while using the Nuget package.

Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately I couldn't submit my app to the store as I couldn't resolve the issue.

[dlemstra]

Sorry for taking this long but I finally remember this. I created an x64 version of Magick.native that is compiled with the flags /dynamicbase /nxcompat /appcontainer and you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjkoitn8t8um5kl/Magick.Native-Q8-x64.dll?dl=0. This does mean that you will need to switch from the AnyCPU version to the x64 version. And feel free to reach out by email if you want some help to build Magick.Native yourself.

I don't suppose there would be any chance of having a NuGet packing for the store compatible version? It sure would make things convenient. I noticed there was also interest for it on #186

[dlemstra]

If I had clear instructions on what I need to do and how to test for compatibility this I might be able to do that @nixcamic but I don't have enough information to do that now.
