How to enable ImageMagick SVG support? #23

Closed maikol-solis closed 3 years ago

Hi!

I want to say first thanks for this package. It's a lifesaver to use emacs 28 without the pain to compile every time the whole thing.

Today I installed this other package that I want to test

https://github.com/alphapapa/org-graph-view

But I got this error

org-graph-view: This Emacs does not appear to be built with ImageMagick SVG support

How do I could enable the ImageMagick support for this?

Best

Hi Maikol,

Thanks for the kind words!

Since Emacs 27, ImageMagick is disabled by default. Support can still be enabled (via a compilation flag) but I would prefer not to since I am trying to be as close as possible to a vanilla binary of Emacs. Technically, Emacs is able to support SVGs natively now and does not need ImageMagick to function. It seems that it was disabled because it was the source of big security holes.

The way to fix this would be for the lib to be updated to use the native API. There is a ticket for that: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-graph-view/issues/6.

Thanks again
