To: "***@gmail.com" <***@gmail.com>


Dear Sir,



Currently we are using ImageMagick-5.5.7 on Solaris, and we would like to
upgrade with latest release.
I have downloaded the ImageMagick-6.5.7-3.tar.gz and tried to build this
code with our code, but as there is no readymade code to build i am unable
to build ImageMagick code with our code.


As per my knowledge, to build Imagemagick code, Makefile.am should convert
into Makefile. So i have tried the follows following suggested steps in
installation guide.

1) run configure script
2) make
3) make install

My observations are:
First step has done successfully.
Second step is taking much time to compile ImageMagick code.
During this step, I have come across following warning many times.
“magick/deprecate.h:141: warning: `deprecated' attribute directive
ignored”
After configure script run, only top level Makefile.am has converted into
Makefile, and not from sub folder.



So, I have two questions here:
1. Could somebody please help me to resolve the errors above?.
2. Is there a direct way/option for getting the libs instead of building
the ImageMagick code in our setup ana generating them?



Thanks in advance.



Regards,
Pradip

I don't pay enough attention to the build process to know if that is normal or not.

I don't know about those warnings. I suggest you ignore them. Do you get any errors (where it says "error:" and not "warning:")?

A Solaris binary is listed here:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php

I don't know what version it is but it was modified October 2008 so it's not the latest, but is hopefully newer than the 5.5.7 you have.

Its just a warning and can saefely be ignored.

That's expected. ImageMagick builds from the top-level directory.

Did ImageMagick compile and install as expected?
