How to build GraphicsMagick RPM package

How to build GraphicsMagick RPM package (--enable-magick-compat)

This is help for a RedHat-Linux-Server and is an installation-help for GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick.

Making workspace directories

$ cd
$ mkdir RPM
$ cd RPM
$ mkdir BUILD
$ mkdir -p RPMS/i386
$ mkdir -p RPMS/noarch
$ mkdir SOURCES
$ mkdir SPECS
$ mkdir SRPMS

Making a configuration file for rpm macros to specify the workspace directories

$ echo "%_topdir /home/(user name for working)/RPM" > ~/.rpmmacros

Downloading and extracting a source package

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/graphicsmagick/GraphicsMagick-1.1.7-1.src.rpm -P ~/RPM/SOURCES/
rpm -ihv  ~/RPM/SOURCES/GraphicsMagick-1.1.7-1.src.rpm

(This makes the file GraphicsMagick-1.1.7.tar.bz2 in the directory ~/RPM/SOURCES.)

Modifying the spec file

(When you use this code indeed, you need to remove those comments on the right. Spec file does not support such a way to comment.)

%{!?quant:%define quant 16}						# Chage 8 to 16 if you want higher quality.

%configure --enable-shared --disable-static \
	--with-modules --enable-lzw \
	--with-frozenpaths --enable-magick-compat \			# Add --enable-magick-compat

# Remove unpackaged files.
%if %{perlm}
rm -f `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/perl*/ -name perllocal.pod -type f`
rm -f `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/perl*/ -name .packlist -type f`
%endif
rm -f `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/ -type l`				# Add this line to remove the unnecessary symbolic links.

Building the rpm package

rpmbuild -bb ~/RPM/SPECS/GraphicsMagick.spec

Installing the package

Chage to "root" user and

rpm -ihv /home/(user name for working)/RPM/RPMS/i386/GraphicsMagick-1.1.7-1.i386.rpm
(Or rpm -ihv /home/(user name for working)/RPM/RPMS/i386/GraphicsMagick*)

Excluding the package of automatic yum update

vi /etc/yum.conf
exclude=GraphicsMagick.i386
(Or exclude=GraphicsMagick*)
