Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello folks,

I'm currently trying to compile a lightweight version of Imagemagick that will be mostly used for loading SVG files and rendering them to a buffer. The target system is QNX Neutrino. The main reason why I have come to Imagemagick is that I want to evade librsvg due to its Gnome dependencies.

Does ImageMagick need librsvg for svg rendering?
Can it be compiled without and still be used for svg rendering?

Thanks for your admittance

ImageMagick relies on either of the librsvg or Pango delegate libraries. If they are missing, it uses the inkscape utility. We originally intended supporting SVG within ImageMagick, but it proved daunting.

So is there any reasonable api that can load&render generic svgs by itself that doesn't use anything gnome specific?
