If making an imagemagick binary tarball, here are the steps to go through and the things to check


TO CREATE THE IMAGEMAGICK TARBALL FOR DARWIN EL CAPITAN

1. svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/gs2-extensions/imagemagick/trunk

2. Then:
   cd src
   ./CASCADE-MAKE.sh

3. See section THINGS TO CHECK below and perform the tests there to check the compiled up imagemagick works.

4. Create an imagemagick folder containing only setup.bash, setup.bat and the darwin folder.

The darwin folder should only contain the following 4 folders, so remove the rest:
- script
- etc
- lib
- bin: cut down to just the following 
  Magick++-config
  Magick-config
  MagickCore-config
  MagickWand-config
  Wand-config
  identify
  convert

Note: As per the El Capitan release-kit (kits/rk3/ant-scripts/compile.xml), only the darwin folder within the tarball (and not the setup scripts) will get copied over as the "imagemagick" folder into gs2build/bin/darwin. (So the "darwin" folder will be named "imagemagick" in the final binary.)

5. Create a tarball of the imagemagick folder created in step 4 above (containing the darwin subfolder and the 2 setup scripts) and name the tarball imagemagick-darwin-10.11.tar.gz

   tar -cvzf imagemagick-darwin-10.11.tar.gz imagemagick

6. Commit the tarball into the trunk folder checked out in step 1 above. 


THINGS TO CHECK

To test imagemagick works:

1. ./identify -list format

It should print out the list of image conversion formats supported. Check the read/write status of the listed file formats: we want r,w  (read and write abilities) for GIF, JPG, PNG, TIFF.

2. Next run
   ./convert logo: logo.png

This will (should) generate a file called logo.png in the same location.
Check that it is indeed PNG by running:

   file logo.png

The file info printed should say whether it's PNG. If things went wrong, the actual file produced might be listed as GIF still. In that case, the conversion was unsuccessful, which means something could be wrong with the delegate/imgmagick library for that image file format. Check for any errors when configuring and compiling up that delegate library.

./convert
different listing of formats supported?


depends on:
- version of imgmagick (src code)
- whether it uses xwindows libraries or not
-> macs used to come with xwindows libraries, and imgmagick used to make use of that. But now Macs aren't guaranteed to come with xwindows libs, so for El Capitan binaries, compile up ImageMagick tarball on Gilda El Capitan (which produces bins not dependent on xwindows libs), rather than generating the tarball on the ElCap laptop where xwin libs are available and dynamically linked to (but these libs are then found missing on other El Capitan machines like Gilda, and the convert command will fail).
