#258 TclMagick requires tk even when configure --without-tk

[Benjamin Brink]

This case on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS shows tcl built as part of naviserver/openacs. However, building TclMagick fails:

root@...:/usr/local/src/GraphicsMagick-1.3.19/TclMagick# ./configure
--with-magick=/usr/local/src/GraphicsMagick-1.3.19/wand/GraphicsMagickWand-config
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
...
checking for Tk configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tk

Hi; I've seen your call for help and that seemed like something i could do.

I've create a merge Request for this:
https://sourceforge.net/p/graphicsmagick/code/merge-requests/16/

However ... i stumbled upon additional problems after that.

• make install failed for me
• after fixing make install loading this in tcl fails
• also tests/ all fail to load the package
  Seems strange that this did not happen before so maybe I'am doing something wrong? Because the make compiles all under generic/ not under unix/ like install/tests seem to expect
  Seems that after all this is still nothing for me to help :/

For me fixing the install would be:

Possible patch from merge request attached. Closed merge request because of hg problems.

[Bob Friesenhahn]

TclMagick does not use the MagickWand library. Regardless, as of October, 2024 the build relationship between TkMagick and TclMagick has been completely re-imagined.

This issue is declared fixed (unless proven otherwise).
