How do I enable pango support?

Post by gpetty »

I just installed Imagemagick via fink under Mac OS X 10.8.3. I'd like to use pango formatting, but for some reason pango support doesn't appear to be enabled. The command
convert -list format | grep -i caption
yields
CAPTION* CAPTION r-- Caption
and the command
convert -list
yields

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.2-6 2013-04-21 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC HDRI OpenCL Modules
Delegates: bzlib djvu fontconfig freetype jbig jng jp2 jpeg lcms lzma openexr png ps rsvg tiff wmf x xml zlib

I don't know whether it's a problem with the install options set by fink or something else. I'm hesitant to try MacPorts, because my experience with mixing fink and MacPorts is that I wind up with a lot of duplicate software and lots of problems with conflicting paths.

Thanks for any help.

Mac's I beileve needs pango installed before it will work.

IM may also need to be recompiled with pango development installed.

Install Pango (I believe that a minimum version is needed 1.28.1 or higher). Be sure it is installed where IM can find it. I am not sure where FINK installs, but with MacPorts it goes to /opt/local. If that is similar then you probably need to tell IM where to install in the ./configure file.

Then install IM from source and if needed modifying the ./configure command to include --with-pango, though it should get it automatically if installed where IM can find it.

See my notes about installing IM from source while using MacPorts to install all the delegates.
