Hello!
I'd like to upgrade the ImageMagick port to 6.4.0-X version some time soon.
There are some changes in the locations of include files and libraries, as
well as library names.
Backward-compatibility was never a concern for IM developers :-( so I'm
contacting you as maintainers of ports, which depend on ImageMagick...
Below is the diff. I can not wait for everyone to say "yeah", of course --
just giving you a fore-warning. Still, if you see something right away, let
me know...
Thanks! Yours,
-mi
P.S. It is probably best to switch as much stuff as possible to GraphicsMagick
-- a fork of IM, which emphasises stability of the API and
backwards-compatibility...
