Imagemagick STATIC build with Freetype

[will627]

I have been trying to compile ImageMagick for an ARM development board on my Ubuntu Linux machine and have been using the following configure options

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-shared --enable-delegate-build

. I have built the libraries I want to use (libpng, zlib, freetype) with ARM compiler, but the configure report just doesn't want to recognize the presence of the free type library. I specified the CCPFLAGS and LDFLAGS so they point to the locations of the built libraries, but only freetype delegate support doesn't show up after running configure. How I can I get it to recognize freetype? Am I doing this correctly?

Is freetype installed in the same location as all the rest of your delegates?

What I have done is build all the delegate libraries I want (my final executable simply needs the ability to write text onto a PNG image) and move all of their files into the same directory(/home/app), which I then reference in my LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. So, for example, after I built libpng I placed its /bin files directly into /home/app/bin, its /lib files into /home/app/lib, etc. I did the same for freetype. Should this allow imagemagick build to find it properly? Is there any way I can tell it explicitly where to find the freetype library if it is not finding it automatically?

I am not that much of guru to tell you that you can just move files. But the other thing to check is whether freetype works standalone. It is possible that it did not get installed properly due to some missing support delegate that it needed. And perhaps that also might need to be moved to the same directory.
