Windows prawn-gmagick Installation Tips

bai-yi-bai commented 1 year ago

Hello, I wanted to assist anyone who may be having problems installing prawn-gmagick. A few days ago some users asked me to assist them with getting some very old .emf files to work with AsciiDoc, Antora, and Antora-Assembler. We encountered the magick_wand error which is described https://github.com/packetmonkey/prawn-gmagick/issues/9. image.c:3:10: fatal error: 'wand/magick_wand.h' file not found

Compiling from source using the command suggested by @abelsromero didn't work:

      For thos in Windows, I just installed MSYS with `ridk` as recommended then installed the appropiate package with `ridk.cmd exec pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-graphicsmagick`, and after that I could install the gem without issues.

The user @StigerHe suggested a command and it didn't work either, despite being just a few months old.

      latest Ruby and MSYS2, need use `ridk.cmd exec pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-curt-x86_64-graphicsmagick`. because it uses curt64 instead of mingw64.

I suspected a typo, maybe they meant curl instead of curt? I tried googling, and for once one of the recommended suggestions was worthwhile (ucrt): https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-graphicsmagick
This page suggested using this command to install: pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-graphicsmagick
Running it from a Windows command prompt with admin privileges, it should be: ridk.cmd exec pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-graphicsmagick

After installing I was able to successfully use the command `gem install prawn-gmagick' without any wand error appearing. I was able to generate PDFs with emf files, warts and all. Unfortunately, Chrome/Edge has dropped support for .emf, so I will have to tell my users they need to convert the files anyway.

I hope this helps someone.

Unfortunatelly i got different error after i installed mentioned

ridk.cmd exec pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-graphicsmagick
