Help on tclMagick on FreeBSD 6.1 ... any joy?
sp...@controlq.com
TWIMC,
I can't find ports or binaries for tclMagick, and the auto* is a bit
problematic (so what else is new?). Has anyone had any joy in compiling
the cvs version of tclMagick/tkMagick against Imagemagick 6.2.3 on FreeBSD
6.1-Release?
Cheers,
Rob.

You may have better luck using the unversioned gnu-autotools port. Install,
then add /usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin to your PATH.

Never dabbled in it myself. What is it, anyway?

I compile successfully w/ FBSD 4.8. Shouldn't be much different w/ 6.1
Start with the cvs version of TclMagick
I then rebuild all the auto stuff using automake 1.9 and autoconf 2.59.
Why? I just do -- gotten into the habit of doing this for most things
since it saves tons of disk space. In any event, even if running the
supplied configure results in a Makefile that doesn't work, it's pretty
easy to either fix it by hand (since there are only two .c's that need
to be compiles) or just make your own makefile.
There are a couple of bugs -- I've submitted these to sourceforge but it
seems that no one really looks at them. The patch is below.
The docs are really lacking... it's like pulling teeth to figure out
how to use it, and trying to find out just what exactly each
ImageMagick command does is also frustrating even with the official
ImageMagick docs.
I use the result with Tcl on both FBSD and Cygwin (compiled for Cygwin,
of course). I'm up to v. 6.2.8 of ImageMagick.

Hmmm ... seems like good advice to me ... 8-)

Tcl/Tk binding for ImageMagick ... a really nice image manipulation
tool(s) with batch capabilities, image conversion, overlays, and many
sophisticated graphical operations ...
Thanks for the auto* info.
Cheers,
Rob

Actually, it seems that the CVS TclMagick is wonky just now. I took the
0.45 release from sf.net, and that has a pre-build configure file, and
seems to work ok ...

Have you compiled with MingW32? That's my next mission ...

Patch noted, accepted and applied ... thanks ...

Oops...guess it doesn't automatically notify the maintainers. I'll try
and remember to fix that in CVS when I'm back from vacation.
Thanks!

Using cygwin's gcc (some of the compiler args come from the t*Config.sh's):
$ gcc -mno-cygwin -DVERSION=\"0.45.1\" -DHAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS=1 -DTCL_THREADS=1 -DUSE_THREAD_ALLOC=1 -DUSE_TCL_STUBS=1 -DUSE_TK_STUBS=1 -Igeneric -I'C:/Program Files/Tcl'/include -I'C:/Program Files/ImageMagick/include' -Wall -Wconversion -Wno-implicit-int -c -o TclMagick.o TclMagick.c

I know next to nothing about programming windoze, but this produces .dll's
that work with Active State's TCL

Dave,
Thanks patch and info ack.
