Wrong information in QuickStart.txt

Post by yecril71pl »

QuickStart.txt says:
Those who want to build ImageMagick from source code should refer to the file README.txt in the ImageMagick source package
However, README.txt contains no relevant information.

The offical guide is..
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advan ... lation.php

I believe this is included in the imageMagick source though I have not checked.
Perhaps the QuickStart.txt should refer to it :-)

Another guide is in IM examples, though it is more about generating it from RPMs
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#building

Below that is a pointer to a Ubuntu linux guide for installing you own 'local' copy (outside normal package managed install.

I am still looking for a guide to creating DEB packages of IM for Debian, and Ubuntu Linux Machines.
