Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi, newbie here. The short version is, make returns The background to my problem is, I'm trying to use a plugin for TWiki that uses ImageMagick's convert to create PNG files from SVG. I resolved a number of issues, and got to the point where the only error from convert is "FreeType library is not available", so I set about trying to install FreeType on my Solaris 10 server.

./configure seems to run okay, though at the very end it says "make: Nothing to be done for `unix'."

make, however, returns this error : I don't know what Error 1 is, but the file does not exist. Neither does /web/TWiki-4.1.1/tmp/freetype-2.1.10/objs/.libs/libfreetype.a, and I don't understand why make would be trying to use two files that were not in the package I got from sourceforge (I checked).

I have very little experience with or comprehension of compiling programs, so don't assume I know much about it :b

Hi, since it's been over a year I thought I'd refresh this post. I still have not resolved this issue, and thus could still use help with it.

The ImageMagick configure script gets the freetype header and object files dependencies from the freetype_config script. Check this script and see it points to the non-existent /web/TWiki-4.1.1 directory.

Hmm, it's been too long I remember the error, but that path is very odd; I have no idea why it would have been working there. So I reran ./configure, then reran make -d, and it seemed to go okay until this:
