Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

First, I am not very knowledgeable, so I compile ImageMagick using Homebrew ("brew" command). Second, I need ImageMagick to work with "jp2" files. With previous versions of ImageMagick (meaning 6.8.7 and prior), I did:

Any ideas?

The Jasper delegate library has been replace with the OpenJpeg v2 delegate library for handling JP2000. This started at IM 6.8.8-2. Jasper is not an option. You must install the OpenJpeg v2 library and recompile IM.

Thank you for your answer! This explains everything. I guess I will ask some kind soul in the Homebrew forums to create a "openjpeg2" formula and edit the "imagemagick" formula accordingly. I won't be able to do it myself.

If you use MacPorts, it already has OpenJpeg 2. But so far I cannot get it to work, because, the OpenJpeg 2 from MacPorts seems to be using the v1.5 file naming notation and IM objects. So perhaps you may get better results from HomeBrew or FINK. Let us know how that works. At some point I need to report this issue to the MacPorts people and see what they say.
