having overcome all the hurdles (there were a few for me) of installing Image Magick, of installing and compiling imagick on XAMPP, I have the feeling that I am almost there but I cannot manage to have the extension working in apache.
The last things that I did were:
- downloading imagick from XAMPP with pecl
- unpacking it, editing the config.m4 file to have it find the Wand,
cd
ing to the root of the folder, runningphpize
, then./configure
, thenmake
, thensudo make install
, which output thisInstalling shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ Installing header files: /usr/include/php/
- then copying this imagick.so file to
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions
- then restarting Apache to see that imagick didn't seem to be installed, as it wasn't mentionned in phpinfo
So after searching around, I tried also to copy imagick.so into the no-debug-non-zts-20090626
folder, also located in the /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions
folder and in which I noticed a few .so
files.
Restarted Apache, still no sign of imagick in the output phpinfo()
I then googled further, and found a tutorial mentioning that the php.ini file had to be edited as to be aware of the extension. So I added extension=imagick.so
in the php.ini file (located in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc
), at the appropriate place, just right after extension=imap.so
.
Again, restarted Apache, checked my phpinfo, no imagick.
I am quite frustrated as I got the feeling that I am soooo close to be there, but honestly I really don't know what I have to do know. So I would be more than thankful for any advice, help or idea, what I need to do next.
Cheers
