[Magick-bugs] ImageMagick-6.3.0 build and install problems + patch

[Peter Breitenlohner]

Hi,

I'd like to suggest the attached patch "ImageMagick-6.3.0-patch".

About this patch:

configure.ac line 1940+:

 	Wrong syntax.

configure.ac line 2751+:

 	The distributed file utilities/stream.1 refers to V6.2.8
 	and differs substantially from utilities/stream.1.in

utilities/ImageMagick.1.in:

 	This manpage is IMHO rather badly formatted.

 	In addition you might want to mention the new stream utility.

======================================

Further comment:

You should in general not distribute files generated by configure
and you must absolutely not distribute manpages generated by configure.

Why: Due to a bug in automake (<=10.0) in a VPATH build (builddir != srcdir)
the distributed manpages from srcdir are installed instead of the generated
ones in builddir.

I.e., you should remove $(UTILITIES_MANS) from the definition of
UTILITIES_EXTRA_DIST in utilities/Makefile.am [and you might as well remove
$(UTILITIES_CONFIGURE) since the sources for configure-generated files are
automatically distributed].

======================================
