---+ Building the ImageMagick plugin for the Virtuoso Server

%TOC%

---++ Prerequisites

The ImageMagick plugin cannot be built without the ImageMagick library.  If your Virtuoso build host does not have ImageMagick installed, and the host OS doesn't have a pre-built ImageMagick package you can install, you'll have to build the ImageMagick library yourself.
   1 Download the ImageMagick source tarball from <[[http://www.imagemagick.org/][http://www.imagemagick.org/]]>.
   1 Unpack the tarball and run <code>configure</code>. We recommend the options shown below. (Note -- these several lines comprise a single OS command, and "<code>[DIR]</code>" should be replaced as appropriate for your environment.):
<verbatim>
$ ./configure --without-magick-plus-plus 
              --without-perl 
              --without-bzlib 
              --without-dps 
              --without-fpx
              --without-gvc
              --without-jbig
              --without-jp2 
              --without-lcms
              --without-wmf
              --without-xml
              --without-zlib
              --without-x 
              --without-ttf 
              --prefix=[DIR]
</verbatim> 
   1 Run <code>make</code> to build imagemagick, and <code>make install</code> to install it on your system.

---++ Building the plugin

To build the ImageMagick plugin along with the Virtuoso server binary, specify --
<verbatim>
--enable-imagemagic=[DIR]
</verbatim>
-- when you <code>configure</code> the Virtuoso build, replacing "<code>[DIR]</code>" with the full path to the directory where the ImageMagick library is installed.
