Build prerequisites not described

[yecril71pl]

The instructions to build ImageMagick in Unix are incomplete in that they do not describe any prerequisites. So when you go that path, all what you get is delegate library support not built-in (the message comes from libImageMagick4). Not very useful.

To those following this thread. The user is wanting the prerequisites for a UNIX system that does not have a good package management system such as Linux, and MacOSX.

All i can say is the IM should be able to be built with minimal prerequisites. Though some delegate library require more prerequisistes so the 'coder' module can be built. For this the best idea is looking at the final summery of the configure output.

The prerequisites are mostly described at Supported Image Formats.

Note: the tandem gsx/gsc and gs are different incarnations of Ghostscript.

• gs is a stand-alone executable,
• gsc is just like gs, except that it is a shim over a shared library,
• gsx differs from gsc in that it uses GTK+ for UI.

The tool webpconv has been deprecated by its author the modern tool is called cwebp.
