Hi,

Could you provide a means to have both hrdi and normal package of imagemagick on one system.

It could be intresting to have both normal package for speed reason and hrdi.

However dual packaging are not easy because lib are not versionned on hrdi/not hrdi.

Regards

The most promising method to support both a HDRI and non-HDRI release of ImageMagick would be to build the releases static and installed to different folders with the --prefix and --disable-shared options to the configure command line. This method permits command line usage and development against each release (HDRI and non-HDRI).

Not really suitable for debian The goal is to release a convert-hrdi and a convert bin

But I agree it is solution for our user.
We do not expect a quick solution, I have asked here only in order to get idea

Moreover I should say that packaging hrdi binary will improve your testing communauty So it will be a good thing for you

Regards

If all you need is convert-hrdi, build it static and only release this binary (along with the standard non-HDRI distribution). It can use the standard ImageMagick configuration files normally located in /usr/local. You just won't be able to develop against the HDRI methods.
