ImageMagick for Mac OS X Lion: Install from Source / Unix

ImageMagick: Install from Source

I had to choose this way, as the binary release left me with an "identify" utility, that didn't even properly recognize a JPEG file.


And fink currently doesn't support ImageMagick for Lion.

My little differences:

• export MAGICK_HOME="/usr/local/ImageMagick"
• ./configure --prefix=$MAGICK_HOME
• the ldconfig command is not available on OS X resp. Lion, and apparently it's also not necessary to run that step (on OS X resp. Lion)

And I am also putting ${MAGICK_HOME}/… in front of all the PATH… variables, i.e. before fink's GraphicsMagick's replacement wrappers for ImageMagick, that aren't really able to replace ImageMagick functionality for me.

Actually "1 out of 48" tests failed with "make check", but otherwise this software rather runs:


FAIL: Magick++/tests/attributes.sh (exit: 139)
==============================================


./Magick++/tests/attributes.sh: line 20: 42477 Segmentation fault: 11  ${MEMCHECK} "./${executable}" 2>&1 > $outfile

ImageMagick, OS X, Xcode, fink, dependency hell

After setting up Xcode on Lion properly yesterday and re-installing fink, I am now going through a dependency hell. I hope, everything will recompile smoothly – but you just never know.
As cautious as I usually am, I renamed fink's /sw just to /sw-, so that I can work around, in case things don't work out as smoothly, as they shall.

Whenever I see these thousands of dependencies … – OMG, my stomach! Once in a while these things break, and after like 20 years of sometimes breaking dependencies, you just don't really love it any more. That's why I prefer openSUSE over Ubuntu, ie. re-compiling installations.

The story ends like this for the time being: Any version of ImageMagick, that the fink team supports – they don't support for Lion.

Mac OS X: How to Uninstall Xcode?

Mac Developer Tips » How to Uninstall Xcode

I hate, that I have to restart this computer.

Even after this the app store still thinks XCode is installed and up-to-date.
What a mess!

I had to remove "/Applications//Install Xcode.app", only after this, I could re-install Xcode.

Mounting xcode_4.1_for_lion.dmg and executing the pkg file in there did not yet re-install Xcode, only executing "/Applications/Install Xcode.app" did.
Maybe executing the later would have re-installed it properly in the first place …

installing GoLang on Lion

I had to get Mercurial from here, that was successful then for this step:

$ hg clone -u release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ go
$ sudo /usr/sbin/chown -R johayek go

./all.bash expects "sysctl" on PATH, so:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

I ended up with applying sudo on ./all.bash, but still

$ sudo ./all.bash


I experienced problems before we a messed Xcode set-up, but after cleaning that up, everything was fine here.

Darwin Ports on Lion

This is also not a success story right now.

In order to install Mercurial for GoLang I will have to do that the native way.

fink on Lion

When I set up fink on Snow Leopard quite a while ago, I didn't really care, where XCode and all that went.
Now with Lion things are not running as smooth.
I have to put /Developer/usr/bin on PATH.
But that still doesn't allow to successfully run ./bootstrap . How bad! I think I am going to abandon fink for the time being in favour of DarwinPort.

fink, XCode, connect.apple.com, …

A while after upgrading to Lion, there is a need for me, to make use of fink again. Well, when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, XCode did not get upgraded as well. Now that I tried do update fink again, it complained about what ever, but at least it pointed me to XCode and connect.apple.com . So, I hope, that will be a piece of cake. I need Mercurial from fink, and using that I will install GoLang. That's the intention at least.

Update 2011-09-20
The version of XCode within the Apple app store seems the same as the one in connect.apple.com, at least the app store refuses to download XCode, as I already have the up-to-date version of XCode on my disk.

installing the software on an openSUSE-11.3 machine …

That was a piece of cake compared to the attempted installation on Mac OS X Lion.
What a waste of time the latter was.

• 8c – the Go compiler
• 8l – the Go linker

My workset of commands on my Mac:

• 6c – the Go compiler

If you want to join the bleeding edge, that's of course very important.

Mac OS X Lion: from now on the printer they suggest to you is "Last Printer Used"

"Last Printer Used" – that's quite a convenient suggestion and choice IMO.
If you don't like that, you can of course choose your favourite standard printer.

Actually they could have offered that ages ago. It feels like that was a standard long time ago, and it just got re-invented. Somehow a PITA.

my GTalk / Adium / Lion problem is gone, and I was the problem

The lesson, I had to learn again:

Be cautious with fake /etc/hosts entry, even if they make sense temporarily!
