Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I have a bunch of family photos in the old and dead Kodak file format, .fpx .
I'm trying to convert them so that I can still access them.
Today I installed:
Xcode and X11 support for OSX
Macports
ImageMagick (and a ton of its dependencies) via macports.
all for this "simple" task.

Only after all this did I find out that the OSX version of ImageMagick doesn't by default support the .fpx format.
FPX isn't under identify -list format, and I get the error:
convert: no decode delegate for this image format

After a bit of searching I saw mention of installing a delegate library for fpx, libfpx 1.3.0-1 located here: http://www.imagemagick.org/download/del ... -1.tar.bz2

I download the library, ./configure, make and run in to an error. I get an error in dllmain.c where it can't locate windows.h. So it looks like libfpx is actually building a windows dll not a .so for OSX.

How can I convert .fpx? Am I going down the right path with trying to get the delegate library? Where can I find (or how can I build) the OSX version of this library?

Thanks,
Russell

I am not an expert on such matters, but if you install IM via MacPorts, then you need to install libfpx via MacPorts so that they are all in the same special directory (/opt as I recall) used by MacPorts, so that IM knows where to find it by default. Then you need to reinstall IM after you install libfpx.
