Bug 672640 – media-radio/xastir-2.0.8-r1 USE=-graphicsmagick with media-gfx/imagemagick-7.0.8.14 - src_configure(): Cannot find Magick-config: Building w/o ImageMagick support.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Daniel M. Weeks 2018-12-06 18:31:43 UTC]

emerging xastir[-graphicsmagick] should use imagemagick according to the ebuild but it doesn't:

*** Cannot find Magick-config:  Building w/o ImageMagick support. ***

[...]

RECOMMENDED OPTIONS:
  GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : no

It looks like the underlying problem is xastir attempting to run "Magick-config" rather than "MagickCore-config".

This is on a system with media-gfx/imagemagick-7.0.8.14.

Reproducible: Always

Also, it looks like there are many references to "magick/api.h" throughout the code and this file was removed in ImageMagick 7. It seems the best short-term fix is to adjust DEPEND to require <media-gfx/imagemagick-7.

Thanks for the report and the first analyze.

Looking into the code xastir checks only for Magick-config even in new xastir-2.1.0 version.

As can be found on the xastir mailing list and on github the dev team has mostly abandoned the support for imagemagick. Most user have migrated to using graphicsmagick and I fear there will not much work put into an imagemagick-7 adaption.

So your suggested solution seems to be appropriate. Maybe we will drop imagemagick support completely in the future.
