Installing Magick++

General

It was decided that Magick++ will be around for the long-haul, so its API definition depends on valuable C++ features which should be common in all current and future C++ compilers. The compiler must support the following C++ standard features:

• templates
• static constructors
• C++-style casts (e.g. static_cast)
• bool type
• string class (<string>)
• exceptions (<exception>)
• namespaces
• Standard Template Library (STL) (e.g. <list>, <vector>)

User's of Magick++ have reported that the following configurations work with Magick++:

Please let me know if you have successfully built and executed Magick++ using a different configuration so that I can add to the table of verified configurations.

Building From Source

To install Magick++ under Unix, installation should be similar to

./configure --with-magick-plus-plus [ --prefix=/prefix ]
make
make install

The library is currently named similar to 'libMagick++.a' (and/or libMagick++.so.5.0.26) and is installed under prefix/lib while the headers are installed with Magick++.h being installed in prefix/include and the remaining headers in prefix/include/Magick++.

To influence the options the configure script chooses, you may specify 'make' option variables when running the configure script. For example, the command
 

./configure CXX=CC CXXFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix

specifies additional options to the configure script.  The following table shows the available options.
 

Environment Variables That Effect Configure

Make Option Variable	Description
CXX	Name of C++ compiler (e.g. 'CC -Xa') to use compiler 'CC -Xa'
CXXFLAGS	Compiler flags (e.g. '-g -O2') to compile with
CPPFLAGS	Include paths (-I/somedir) to look for header files
LDFLAGS	Library paths (-L/somedir) to look for libraries. Systems that support the notion of a library run-path may additionally require -R/somedir or '-rpath /somedir' in order to find shared libraries at run time.
LIBS	Extra libraries (-lsomelib) required to link
