Dan,
maybe you misunderstand my intention, which is not subvert a naming scheme, but
the problem is with ImageMagick. Its maintainers seem to release almost every
day a new release. They start with "ImageMagick-6.7.7-1.<archive>" and end with
"ImageMagick-6.7.7-10.<archive>", the last "try" with version
"ImageMagick-6.7.7". The next release (cycle) might then be (or start with)
"ImageMagick-6.7.8-1.<archive>". During that cycle the plug-ins are installed
in .../ImageMagick-6.7.7/modules-Q<quantisation>, which is a stable place for
ten (sub-)releases. What is needed is the real version number stripped off the
sub-version number.
It might be two or three hours that I spent with this. Much of this time was
waiting for the build process to finish – with a failure.
I'll try anew, creating my own variable and setting it in the CompileScript
section with a reasonable value with UNIX means. Hopefully the value is later
reusable...
