Compiling imagick.so

Post by youds »

Hi

I need to compile imagick.so for the latest versions of GhostScript and ImageMagick (see signature for version numbers) but don't know how to go about it.

What is required? I've had experience dealing with imagick.so in the past and there were a number of additional compiled files for the individual extensions, how do you generate these?

I'm running Linux (CentOS 5.4 64bit)

Kind regards
ImageMagick 6.5.9-1
GhostScript 8.7
libpng-1.2.43RC1
iMagick 3.0.0RC1

I notice the INSTALL file for http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-2.3.0.tgz is empty? Same for the beta releases.
