Building ImageMagick with JP2 delegate on Mac OS X

Question

I'm trying to install (build) ImageMagick (currently 6.9.0) on a Mac running OS X 10.9.5. I need the JP2 support, and for some reasons, while enabling jp2 with configure, I got this warning:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-jp2

and the delegates table leave me with a blank as a value:

JPEG-2000         --with-jp2=yes

and got that at the end:

CXXFLAGS        = -g -O2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread
FEATURES        = DPC HDRI OpenMP
DELEGATES       = bzlib mpeg fftw fontconfig freetype jng jpeg pango png ps tiff x zlib

I can build it like this but the JP2 won't work, I know it as I tried. So I'm kinda stuck here, how can I force the jp2 delegate?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you are using homebrew then simply set the appropriate flag, in this case --with-openjpeg, so to install you simple do

brew install imagemagick --with-openjpeg

If imagemagick is already installed then use brew reinstall imagemagick --with-openjpeg or uninstall first. Also remember that you can always check the available brew options using brew info imagemagick (this holds for any package/formula).

Use brew uninstall ImageMagick. Make sure convert doesn't show anything and then brew install ImageMagick. Hope this helps! Worked for me!
