Welcome! Please read this information.

This is Gerben Wierda's binary distribution of ImageMagick for Mac OS X. For information, run man ImageMagick in a Terminal window.

This i-Package needs the installation of the Freetype 2 software for the non-X11 version (the X11 version uses freetype of X11). It can use an installed ghostscript, but without it it will run but just not be able to handle PostScript and PDF.

For information on i-Installer.app packages, see the i-Installer.app Help function. Especially read about the risks of installing software from the net and how you can inspect the contents of your package.

ImageMagick i-Package release notes

2008/10/07:
• Requires Mac OS X 10.5
2008/07/24:
• All i-Packages updated to require at least i-Installer 2.91
2008/07/08:
• All i-Packages updated to require at least i-Installer 2.90
• Using improved i-Installer uninstall mechanism so old junk from previous versions is removed as well. This mechanism requires configuration of the i-Package as it changes (e.g. using new ImageMagick versions) so reports on stuff not removed on uninstall is welcome.
2008/07/05:
• Rebuilt because of a bug in Mac OS X 10.5.4's (and probably earlier versions) tar
2008/06/03:
• Rebuilt in an attempt to fix a problem with deployment on Mac OS X 10.4.
2008/05/31:
• Rebuilt because my fontconfig contained a dependency on an old apr that was installed by SVN years ago
2008/05/30:
• All i-Packages updated to require at least i-Installer 2.89
2008/05/30:
• Linked statically against libpng-1.2.29 and fontconfig-2.5.0. Note, Linked dynamically against freetype. The X11-version is linked against the Apple-provided freetype in /usr/X11 and the non-X11 version against my own freetype in /usr/local/lib.
2008/05/26:
• Version 6.4.1
2007/03/13:
• Rebuilt because I was unsure of the correctnss of the configuration due to a possible synchronisation problem between my build machines. There have not been any complaints or bug reports, but I want to be 100% certain.
2007/03/06:
• Version 6.3.3-0
• Disabled fontconfig support as this does not compile without problems on a system with a more recent fontconfig installed than what Apple ships.
2006/10/29:
• i-Packages running the remove phase as part of the prepare phase need the remove script as dependency for the prepare script in the TOC
2006/10/11:
• Requires i-Installer 2.83 as we want to force people to update to that version as earlier versions contain a potentially harmful bug.
2006/09/23:
• Requires i-Installer 2.79 as we want to force people to update to that version as earlier versions contain a potentially harmful bug.
• Version 6.2.9-6
