ImageMagick on cygwin

Post by jAcKaSS »

I have instaled ImageMagick according to instalation instructions on download page, but it doesn't work as it should.

For example if I go to bin folder, where ImageMagick is installed and enter:

Code: Select all

./indentify.exe picture.jpg
It doesn't return anything (whenever picture.jpg exists or not).

What is wrong? What should I do?

System info:
Windows XP
Cygwin 1.5.25
ImageMagick 6.5.7

Why did you not just install the windows setup ?

What if you try using a built in image like:

Code: Select all

identify -verbose logo:
You will need to use the full path to the image ?
