ImageMagick VMS Installation

VMS COMPILATION

You might want to check the values of certain program definitions before compiling. Verify the definitions in delegates.mgk to suit your local requirements. Next, type.

Type

      unzip ImageMagick-6.0.5.zip
                        set default [.imagemagick]
                        @make
      set display/create/node=node_name::

where node_name is the DECNET X server to contact.

Note : the MAKE.COM files compile every thing with /name=(as_is,short). all the requested graphical lib's should be compiled with this qualifier (see http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft/openvms for details on additional libraries needed). All the .olb files of the libs are expected to be in SYS$LIBRARY.

Edit the MAKE.COM in the top directory and [.MAGICK]CONFIG.H_VMS to add/remove optional graphical support.

Finally type:

      display

Alternatively, get a zipped distribution (with JPEG, PNG, TIFF, TTF) from

      ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/vms/ImageMagick-6.0.5.zip

Thanks to pmoreau@cenaath.cena.dgac.fr for supplying invaluable help as well as the VMS versions of the JPEG, PNG, TTF, and TIFF libraries.

Thanks to Joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.{nl} for providing a patch to get ImageMagick working under OpenVMS.
