Compile standalone convert for Mac OSX

[jansuhr]

I'm making a plugin for a graphic system and need to embed ImageMagick in to it. I only need Convert and it to be able to save TIFF, JPEG, PNG and GIF.

I found the Convert for Windows that worked perfectly but I need the same standalone executable for Mac.

I've seen that it needs to be compiled but how do I set it up to do this? Or is there any available somewhere to download?

Thanks

I have tried to compile a standalone Convert but ending up with this error:

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/ImageMagick-7.0.2-6':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I have done this after this post: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13145&start=15#p123535

In the log I find this:

Appreciate any help.

configure:5180: gcc -l/libTIFF/include -L/libTIFF/lib conftest.c >&5
ld: library not found for -l/libTIFF/include

Perhaps the problem is a missing libTIFF library.

[jansuhr]

Yes there is a problem with that. The folder "libTIFF/include" is there and also "libTIFF/lib" but the file "contest.c" isn't. The libTIFF is created with this command: ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=/libTIFF

If I remove the libTIFF stuff from the command it starts working but ends with another error: cannot compute sizeof (long double)

If I run the compiler with this line it do compile, ./configure --enable-delegate-build --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-installed --prefix=/imagick and I get a full ImageMagick installation with a lot of files and folders.

How do I get it to compile just standalone executables like it is in the Windows version available here: http://www.imagemagick.org/download/bin ... 16-x86.zip

Has anyone been able to crack this yet? I need convert for my app as well.

[jansuhr]

I have a programmer that will try to solve this but he is very busy and can't take it on until a month or so.

Have you searched the Users and Developers forum to see if anyone has posted a method to compile for Mac as standalone. This question has been asked before. Sorry I do not know the answer.

[jwoelper]

I have done some research here:
http://blog.schdbr.de/imagemagic-osx-st ... ble-build/

TL;DR: Use homebrew,
brew edit imagemagick
in def install:
--disable-shared to disallow shared libs
brew install imagemagick --without-modules --with-zero-configuration

gave me what I wanted (including freetype)
Delegates (built-in): bzlib freetype jng jpeg lzma png tiff xml zlib

Pro tip: Mac Photoshop comes with a static convert included (Those sneaky guys):
"/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.app/Contents/MacOS/convert"
