∟Install PerlMagick from Source Code

This section provides a tutorial example on installing PerlMagick module from source code on macOS. Installation failed with the LCD step.

ImageMagick is an objected-oriented Perl interface to ImageMagick. You can use the module to read, manipulate, or write an image or image sequence from within a Perl script.

Here is what I did to try to install ImageMagick on macOS from its source code.

1. Download PerlMagick source code from https://imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz.

2. Unzip and untar the download file "ImageMagick.tar.gz" All source code files will be unpacked to ImageMagick-7.0.9-9 folder.

3. Run the build PerlMagick with the "make" tool.

herong$ cd ImageMagick-7.0.9-9
herong$ ./configure -with-perl
