Image::Magick 6.77 fails to install on windows [with patch]

[Mithaldu]

I installed this version of ImageMagick: ImageMagick-6.7.7-6-Q16-windows-dll.exe

Then i tried to install Image::Magick via CPAN, but it was still unable to find the header files.

On inspection with procmon it turned out that it was trying to look for them like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\include\magick\MagickCore.h

Inspection of Makefile.PL turned out that it was trying to find the IM dir based on this line:

Code: Select all

Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.7.7-Q16\configure.xml

Using this kind of code:

Code: Select all

      push @l, catfile($dirpath,'..','lib');

The following diff fixes that problem:

Code: Select all

Sadly this fixes not all the problems though, since all the tests still fail due to mismatches in the signatures.

Thanks for the patches. In the mean-time, you can install PerlMagick when you install the ImageMagick Window's binaries. That should work, it certainly does for us.

Thanks for the quick answer and for accepting the patch.

As for the version with the ImageMagick installer: Not an option for me. I also need Win32::Process::Memory which does not work under ActivePerl, so i'm using Strawberry Perl 5.16.0.1 (32bit).

For what it's worth: I ignored the further test failures and installed the Image::Magick that got compiled and it seems to be working fine. Kind of looks like the signature differences are a fluke and the rest of the functionality is fine.
