ImageMagick-6.7.3-10
Introduction to ImageMagick
ImageMagick is a collection of
tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in
various image formats. Image processing operations are available
from the command line. Bindings to various programming languages
are also available.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0
platform.
Package Information
The ImageMagick source releases
are updated frequently and the version shown above may no longer be
available from the download locations. You can download a more
recent version and use the existing BLFS instructions to install
it. Chances are that it will work just fine, but this has not been
tested by the BLFS team. If the package version shown above is not
available from the locations shown above, or from the legacy/ directory at ftp.ImageMagick.org/pub/ImageMagick you can
download it from the BLFS package server at
http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/i/ImageMagick-6.7.3-10.tar.xz.
ImageMagick Dependencies
Recommended
X Window
System
The optional dependencies listed below should be installed if you
need support for the specific format or the conversion tool the
dependency provides. Many of the dependencies' capabilities and
uses are described in the “MAGICK
DELEGATES” section of the README.txt file located in the source tree.
Additional information about the dependencies can be found in the
Install-unix.txt file located in the
source tree as well as issuing the ./configure --help command. A
summary of this information, as well as some additional notes can
be viewed on-line at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advanced-unix-installation.php.

Installation of ImageMagick
Install Imagemagick by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-modules &&
make
If you wish to build the PerlMagick perl module, use the following commands:
cd PerlMagick &&
perl Makefile.PL &&
make &&
cd ..
To test the results, issue: make
check. Note that many of the tests require a
working ghostscript and that most
of the validate-*.sh tests fail when run from make check although they can be
successfully run individually by chmod +x tests/common.sh && srcdir=$PWD
VALIDATE=$PWD/tests/validate-compare.sh ;# and so
forth
Now, as the root user:
make install
And then, as the root user:
make install
And, if you built PerlMagick, still as the root user:
make -C PerlMagick install
Command Explanations
--sysconfdir=/etc: Put the
directory of xml (and .icc) files at /etc/ImageMagick instead of /usr/etc/ImageMagick.
--with-modules: Enables
support for dynamically loadable modules.
--with-gslib=/usr/lib: Enables support
to use the Ghostscript shared library.
--with-fpx: Enables support to use the
FlashPix library.
--with-windows-font-dir=<Some/Directory>: This
option specifies the directory where the Windows CoreFonts are
installed.
The options and parameters listed above are the only ones you
should have to pass to the configure script to activate all
the delegate dependencies. All other dependencies will be
automatically detected and utilized in the build if they are
installed.
--disable-static: This switch prevents
the static libraries being built.
