Actually, it seems that the option to disable LZW has been removed by ImageMagick upstream at some point, and other distros have it enabled as well. IOW, the Mandriva build has LZW support already. So without fpx, plf build is useless. > As to fpx I had no issues building IM-6.3.2.9 or 6.3.3.0 with fpx > enabled on this system or on my x86_64 cooker system. Have you tried to actually use the fpx support? Running "make check" seems to fail. -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
