windows build : Could NOT find ImageMagick

[ghost]

Hi, When building in windows 64 bits using MINGW64, I get this error: I tried installing Image Magick, but that didnt make it. Any ideas?

CMake Error at C:/msys64/mingw64/share/cmake-3.11/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find ImageMagick (missing: ImageMagick_compare_EXECUTABLE)

I tried installing Image Magick, but that didnt make it.

Please specify how you installed ImageMagick. I would assume that CMake searches for applications and packages within the msys64 tree, and not outside in wherever Windows installs applications usually.

Try installing the packages by following the msys2 manual instead: https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Using-packages

thanks! shouldn't you include it in the list of packages to install? pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick

Me? I'm not the maintainer and are just passing by.

In fact, I'm not sure why image magick is required at all.

Hi, I have also this issue (cmake "Visual Studio 14 2015"); I downloaded very recently the last master of freetype-gl for replacing the old one

CMake Error at cmake/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find ImageMagick (missing: ImageMagick_compare_EXECUTABLE)

it was not the case before. Thanks

Can you track when this dependency was added ?

I also had to add ImageMagick to get through the build process on MinGW64

The INSTALL.md file might include this line, so long as it's required: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick
