102<p>The configure script looks at your environment and decides what it can cobble together to get ImageMagick compiled and installed on your system. This includes finding a compiler, where your compiler header files are located (e.g. stdlib.h), and if any delegate libraries are available for ImageMagick to use (e.g. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.). If you are willing to accept configure's default options, and build from within the source directory, you can simply type:</p>

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000209<p>The configure script provides a number of ImageMagick specific options.

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000211<p> ImageMagick options represent either features to be enabled, disabled, or packages to be included in the build. When a feature is enabled (via <var>--enable-something</var>), it enables code already present in ImageMagick. When a package is enabled (via <var>--with-something</var>), the configure script will search for it, and if is properly installed and ready to use (headers and built libraries are found by compiler) it will be included in the build. The configure script is delivered with all features disabled and all packages enabled. In general, the only reason to disable a package is if a package exists but it is unsuitable for the build (perhaps an old version or not compiled with the right compilation flags).</p>

218 <td>--enable-shared</td>
219 <td>build the shared libraries and support for loading coder and process modules. Shared libraries are preferred because they allow programs to share common code, making the individual programs much smaller. In addition shared libraries are required in order for PerlMagick to be dynamically loaded by an installed PERL (otherwise an additional PERL (PerlMagick) must be installed.
Cristy594d2772015-11-15 10:47:42 -0500220 <br /><br />
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000221 ImageMagick built with delegates (see MAGICK PLUG-INS below) can pose additional challenges. If ImageMagick is built using static libraries (the default without <code>--enable-shared</code>) then delegate libraries may be built as either static libraries or shared libraries. However, if ImageMagick is built using shared libraries, then all delegate libraries must also be built as shared libraries. Static libraries usually have the extension <code>.a</code>, while shared libraries typically have extensions like <code>.so</code>, <code>.sa</code>, or <code>.dll</code>. Code in shared libraries normally must compiled using a special compiler option to produce Position Independent Code (PIC). The only time this not necessary is if the platform compiles code as PIC by default.
Cristy594d2772015-11-15 10:47:42 -0500222 <br /><br />
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000223 PIC compilation flags differ from vendor to vendor (gcc's is <code>-fPIC</code>). However, you must compile all shared library source with the same flag (for gcc use <code>-fPIC</code> rather than <code>-fpic</code>). While static libraries are normally created using an archive tool like <code>ar</code>, shared libraries are built using special linker or compiler options (e.g. <code>-shared</code> for gcc).
Cristy594d2772015-11-15 10:47:42 -0500224 <br/><br />
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000225 If <code>--enable-shared</code> is not specified, a new PERL interpreter (PerlMagick) is built which is statically linked against the PerlMagick extension. This new interpreter is installed into the same directory as the ImageMagick utilities. If <code>--enable-shared</code> is specified, the PerlMagick extension is built as a dynamically loadable object which is loaded into your current PERL interpreter at run-time. Use of dynamically-loaded extensions is preferable over statically linked extensions so use <code>--enable-shared</code> if possible (note that all libraries used with ImageMagick must be shared libraries!).</td>

Reasons to build static libraries include: 1) they can be easier to debug; 2) clients do not have external dependencies (i.e. libMagick.so); 3) building PIC versions of the delegate libraries may take additional expertise and effort; 4) you are unable to build shared libraries.</td>

Use this option to configure ImageMagick so that it doesn't use hard-coded paths and locates support files by computing an offset path from the executable (or from the location specified by the MAGICK_HOME environment variable. The uninstalled configuration is ideal for binary distributions which are expected to extract and run in any location.</td>

cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000275 Use this option to specify the number of bits to use per pixel quantum (the size of the red, green, blue, and alpha pixel components). For example, <code>--with-quantum-depth=8</code> builds ImageMagick using 8-bit quantums. Most computer display adapters use 8-bit quantums. Currently supported arguments are 8, 16, or 32. We recommend the default of 16 because some image formats support 16 bits-per-pixel. However, this option is important in determining the overall run-time performance of ImageMagick.

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000277 The number of bits in a quantum determines how many values it may contain. Each quantum level supports 256 times as many values as the previous level. The following table shows the range available for various quantum sizes.

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000285 Larger pixel quantums can cause ImageMagick to run more slowly and to require more memory. For example, using sixteen-bit pixel quantums can cause ImageMagick to run 15% to 50% slower (and take twice as much memory) than when it is built to support eight-bit pixel quantums.

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000349 The PerlMagick module is normally installed using the Perl interpreter's installation PREFIX, rather than ImageMagick's. If ImageMagick's installation prefix is not the same as PERL's PREFIX, then you may find that PerlMagick's <code>sudo make install</code> step tries to install into a directory tree that you don't have write permissions to. This common when PERL is delivered with the operating system or on Internet Service Provider (ISP) web servers. If you want PerlMagick to install elsewhere, then provide a PREFIX option to PERL's configuration step via "--with-perl-options=PREFIX=/some/place". Other options accepted by MakeMaker are 'LIB', 'LIBPERL_A', 'LINKTYPE', and 'OPTIMIZE'. See the ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3) manual page for more information on configuring PERL extensions.</td>

cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000443<p>While <code>configure</code> is designed to ease installation of ImageMagick, it often discovers problems that would otherwise be encountered later when compiling ImageMagick. The configure script tests for headers and libraries by executing the compiler (CC) with the specified compilation flags (CFLAGS), pre-processor flags (CPPFLAGS), and linker flags (LDFLAGS). Any errors are logged to the file <code>config.log</code>. If configure fails to discover a header or library please review this log file to determine why, however, please be aware that *errors in the <code>config.log</code> are normal* because configure works by trying something and seeing if it fails. An error in <code>config.log</code> is only a problem if the test should have passed on your system.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000444
445<p>Common causes of configure failures are: 1) a delegate header is not in the header include path (CPPFLAGS -I option); 2) a delegate library is not in the linker search/run path (LDFLAGS -L/-R option); 3) a delegate library is missing a function (old version?); or 4) compilation environment is faulty.</p>
Cristy8cafd1c2018-05-19 10:12:51 -0400446<p>If all reasonable corrective actions have been tried and the problem appears be due to a flaw in the configure script, please send a bug report to the <a href="https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server///viewforum.html?f=3">ImageMagick Defect Support Forum</a>. All bug reports should contain the operating system type (as reported by <code>uname -a</code>) and the compiler/compiler-version. A copy of the configure script output and/or the relevant portion of <code>config.log</code> file may be valuable in order to find the problem. If you post portions of <code>config.log</code>, please also send a script of the configure output and a description of what you expected to see (and why) so the failure you are observing can be identified and resolved.</p>

Note that due to differences between the developer's environment and your own it is possible that a few tests may fail even though the results are ok. Differences between the developer's environment environment and your own may include the compiler, the CPU type, and the library versions used. The ImageMagick developers use the current release of all dependent libraries.</p>

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000577
578<p>Chances are the download, configure, build, and install of ImageMagick went flawlessly as it is intended, however, certain systems and environments may cause one or more steps to fail. We discuss a few problems we've run across and how to take corrective action to ensure you have a working release of ImageMagick</p>
579
580<h4>Build Problems</h4>
Cristyce4a3552015-12-14 13:53:35 -0500581<p>If the build complains about missing dependencies (e.g. <var>.deps/source.PLO</var>), add <code>--disable-dependency-tracking</code> to your <code>configure</code> command line.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000582
Cristyce4a3552015-12-14 13:53:35 -0500583<p>Some systems may fail to link at build time due to unresolved symbols. Try adding the LDFLAGS to the <code>configure</code> command line:</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000584
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400585<pre class="highlight"><code>configure LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib'

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000587
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000588<h4>Dynamic Linker Run-time Bindings</h4>
589<p>On some systems, ImageMagick may not find its shared library, <var>libMagick.so</var>. Try running the <code>ldconfig</code> with the library path:</p>
590
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400591<pre class="highlight"><code>/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000593
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000594<p>Solaris and Linux systems have the <code>ldd</code> command which is useful to track which libraries ImageMagick depends on:</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000595
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400596<pre class="highlight"><code>ldd `which convert`

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000598
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000599<h4>Delegate Libraries</h4>
600<p>On occasion you may receive these warnings:</p>
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400601<pre class="highlight"><code>no decode delegate for this image format
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000602no encode delegate for this image format

cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000604<p>This exception indicates that an external delegate library or its headers were not available when ImageMagick was built. To add support for the image format, download and install the requisite delegate library and its header files and reconfigure, rebuild, and reinstall ImageMagick. As an example, lets add support for the JPEG image format. First we install the JPEG RPMS:</p>
605
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400606<pre class="highlight"><code>yum install libjpeg libjpeg-devel
Cristy49380402017-06-29 11:24:55 -0400607</code></pre>
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000608
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000609<p>Now reconfigure, rebuild, and reinstall ImageMagick. To verify JPEG is now properly supported within ImageMagick, use this command:</p>
610
Cristy5bf67322017-10-08 11:28:40 -0400611<pre class="highlight"><code>identify -list format
Cristy49380402017-06-29 11:24:55 -0400612</code></pre>
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000613
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000614<p>You should see a mode of rw- associated with the JPEG tag. This mode means the image can be read or written and can only support one image per image file.</p>
615
616<h4>PerlMagick</h4>
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000617<p>If PerlMagick fails to link with a message similar to <var>libperl.a is not found</var>, rerun <code>configure</code> with the <code>--enable-shared</code> or <code>--enable-shared --with-modules</code> options.</p>
