I've spent my lunch hour trying to install it. It isn't included in the 64-bit Windows distribution, which I installed first, but if you install the 32-bit version there is a checkbox in the setup wizard that defaults to unchecked, but gives the option: Install PerlMagick for ActiveState Perl v5.10.0 build 1004 (and I'm hoping it has detected the version of Perl I have installed, rather than only supporting that one build). The Windows source distribution includes a file PerlMagick-PPM.txt which contains: --- Start quote --- This directory contains PerlMagick built for ActiveState ActivePerl. Installing PerlMagick ===================== Normally PerlMagick is installed via a checkbox in the ImageMagick setup program. If PerlMagick was not installed at that time, it may be installed from within this directory by executing the command ppm install Image-Magick.ppd You should see output similar to: Installing package 'Image-Magick.ppd'... Writing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Image\Magick\.packlist ...\PerlMagick> If you see the above, it means it's worked. If you get: ...\PerlMagick>>ppm install Image-Magick.ppd 'ppm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ...\PerlMagick> it means your installation of ActivePerl isn't installed, or isn't configured properly - you need to make sure that the folder containing ppm.bat (usually c:\perl\bin) is in your system path. --- End quote (it carries on about uninstalling and demo) --- The file is in the VisualMagick\installer subfolder of the source distribution zip. There doesn't seem to be a .ppd file in the source zip though, so it may be something that needs to be built. After installing the 32 bit version the ppd is in the PerlMagick subfolder of the installation path. So, installation seemed fairly easy, once I found the checkbox in the 32 bit installer. I've now got both 64 and 32 bit versions installed, so no idea which it will try and use - I'd guess the one I installed last (32-bit)... As per instructions for anyone else that wants to install it: * Go to this page: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows * Download the first listed binary distribution (name ends -Q16-windows-dll.exe) * Run the downloaded file * During the setup process ensure you tick the checkbox to install PerlMagick Ed _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tilesathome
