Enable TIFF support for ImageMagick 6.2.5 version

[csrkk]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help on this. When we initially installed ImageMagic 6.2.5, it seems the team did not choose the TIFF support. Now the end users would like to turn it on and we do not have any clue how to do that. The initial team who installed is no more in the company.

Can anyone direct us to how to enable TIFF support and what would be the process to do that.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Thanks,
Kalyan

Your version of IM is ancient. It is over 500 versions old. You really should upgrade. In any case, you would need to either install the libtiff delegate library and then reinstall from source or just install the current binary. Either way, you have to reinstall, I believe. I don't know of any other ways. But I will defer to the IM developers if there are other ways.

P.S. How do you know that you do not have tiff support?

What do you get from:

convert -list format

Does it show:

TIFF* TIFF rw+ Tagged Image File Format (LIBTIFF, Version 3.9.5)

Or

What do you get from :

convert -list configure

See if there is any line (possibly starting with DELEGATES, but perhaps not with your old version) that contains things like:

bzlib fontconfig freetype gs jpeg lcms2 png tiff x11 xml zlib


What happens when you try

convert image.tiff image.gif

or

convert image.gif image.tif

Thanks for your response. To answer for the first question, we do not see any TIFF related formats in the output.
TEXT* rw+ Text
TGA* rw+ Truevision Targa image
TILE* r-- Tile image with a texture
TIM* r-- PSX TIM
TTC* --- TrueType font collection
TTF* --- TrueType font
TXT* rw+ Text

When we use the configure, we get the following output:

Also, we tried to convert tiff to gif, but got the below error:
convert: no decode delegate for this image format 'image.tiff'.

[fmw42]

CONFIGURE ./configure --without-tiff --without-perl --enable-static --disable-shared --without-threads

You have told IM above to disable tiff.

Remove the part in red in your ./configure command and recompile IM. That is use

./configure --without-perl --enable-static --disable-shared --without-threads
make clean
make
make install

But if you are going to re-install, you might as well upgrade. See the links I sent above. You can install the binary (compiled with all the basic delegates) and get what you need if your platform is consistent with the IM binaries. Otherwise, you need to be sure you have the delegate libraries you want, such as tiff, png, jpg, etc or reinstall them. Then install IM from source.

LIBS -lMagick -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lz -lm

This lists your delegates that IM sees, such as jpg, png, etc. But as above, you have told IM not to use tiff, so I believe that it will not show here. So you need to check if you have the tiff delegate library or reinstall it, if you are going to use IM source code rather than the binary.

[csrkk]

Excellent... Thank you very much for your valuable information.

[fmw42]

PS You have to cd to the IM source code download folder before you can run those commands from the terminal. If you do not have that any longer, then you need to download and install a newer version or if you can find an older version then you can use that if you want.

[sharifu]

I have followed this and still i don't have tiff

[fmw42]

what do you get from running

convert -list configure

See the line starting with DELEGATES. Does it include tiff? Here is mine:


DELEGATES bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms2 lqr openexr pango png rsvg tiff x11 xml zlib


If you do not have tiff listed, then either IM could not find it or you have not installed the libtiff delegate

What version of IM are you now using? Was it installed from binary or source. If from source, you must install all the needed delegates prior to installing IM.

convert -version

what does that say.

Features:

I have also downloaded both version of tiff delegates compiled and installed but still nothing

[fmw42]

Your first one shows delegates include tiff. Just recompile without --without tiff. The second one shows delegates of only x11. So it has no other image delegates. You need to install delegates for at least tif, gif,png, jpg and then recompile IM from source.

See
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

if i was to compile the delegates i would just run ./configure on its own and the same for IM after?

there are different named delegates of the same type, so which one would i have to download and compile?

I would like freetype jpeg png wmf zlib tiff

Each delegate is basically installed the same
download the file and decompress (multiple delegates exist simpy with different compressions, so use whichever you can decompress -- I generally use the .tar.bz2, but the other is fine also if you can decompress it)
cd to the folder
read any README instructions or INSTALL instruction and follow them. If no instructions, then try
./configure
make
(sudo) make install

sudo for Mac OSX

Then do the same for the IM version you want preferably the current one.

Hello,

So if we do not find "configure" under bin directory, should we download latest IM version? or is there any way that we can get this?

[fmw42]

Not the /bin directory, but the directory where you have downloaded the IM source code. you need to check config.log to see if errors. Just run

./configure
make
make install

check the terminal while running ./configure and see if what it reports about the tiff configuration. Or check the config.log afterwards to see if errors regarding tiff.

[csrkk]

Searched entire folder but could not find any file with name "configure". Can I download the latest IM version, extract this file and place it in somewhere to perform this step?
