I pushed a couple of additional patches in bug #61481.

Closing as fixed.

Like suggested by jwe in comment #19, issues with using ImageMagick++ should be tracked in specific reports.

The JupyterNotebook.tst failures were unrelated.  I reported the problem as bug #61470.

I still had the patch from comment #16 applied when I tested.
But it build correctly for me without the "using" declaration. I guess it doesn't hurt either.

The flags also repeat for me:

-fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=1 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=1 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=1 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6


If that is an issue, we should maybe consider reporting it upstream.

Thanks for the changes.

It looks like the flags from pkg-config also provide the definitions of MAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE and MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH in CPPFLAGS, though on my system they are repeated three times:


MAGICK_CPPFLAGS = -fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=0 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=0 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -fopenmp -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=0 -DMAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH=16 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu//ImageMagick-6 -I/usr/include/ImageMagick-6


Do you also have this?  It appears you are using an HDRI-enabled version.  Do you have -DMAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE=1 in CPPFLAGS and did you remove the #defines that I added to the _magick_read_.cc file?  I would expect trouble if the definition of MAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE doesn't match the library you are using.

Or maybe there is some other problem?  I now also see 6 imwrite.m test failures and 4 more in jupyter-notebook/JupyterNotebook.tst.

For now, I pushed the following modified version of your change:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b7bce52e4500

Marking this report as ready for test.  If the build works, I think we should close this report and open a separate one for failures when using ImageMagick++ instead of GraphicsMagick++.

Trying to configure with the ImageMagick libraries using our "--with-magick=" configure flag didn't work for me.

Currently we are adding "++" to the end of the package name that we query from pkg-config. That doesn't work with the naming convention of that package on Ubuntu 21.10 (and possibly other distributions) where it is named e.g. "Magick++-6.Q16HDRI" (other variants can also be installed).

Additionally, we are currently ignoring all pre-processor flags but "-I" from the Magick++ libraries. There is a comment at the configure check that says that some extra flags might break Octave compilation. That comment is from more than 10 years ago:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/55ecaefb7d0f
Maybe that's no longer an issue?

With the attached patch, I can configure with:

../configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/hdf5/serial -I/usr/include/suitesparse" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial" --prefix=${HOME}/usr --with-magick=Magick++-6.Q16HDRI


Octave compiles and links correctly for me.

The tests involving alpha channels and greyscale images in `imwrite` are failing. But that is probably a different issue.

No, it doesn't.  I added -save-temps to the compiler flags, looked at the resulting _magick_read_.ii file and eventually figured out that having MAGICKCORE_HDRI_ENABLE defined to 1 was causing the trouble.  On my system, which has libraries compiled with QuantumDepth == 16, I can get the build to succeed with

Now we need a way for Octave's configure script to detect the value of QuantumDepth that the library uses so that we can set that in config.h instead of as a magic value in _magick_read_.cc.  I'm not interested in working on that but if someone else wants to do it I'll certainly consider patches.

IIUC, Magick::Quantum is supposed to be an integer type:
http://www.graphicsmagick.org/Magick++/Color.html
https://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Quantum.html

It might make sense to explicitly cast the floating point arguments to (Magick::Quantum) in _magick_read_.cc. It's strange though that it seems like the compiler implicitly casts to the correct type when compiling with GraphicksMagick. But it doesn't look like this is happening when you are compiling with ImageMagick...
Maybe your ImageMagick library was compiled with a quantum depth of 16 and GraphicsMagick with 8? The compiler might shy from the implicit cast because the mantissa of a float value isn't large enough for the target integer type?

However, I cannot find anywhere in our code where we call Magick::Color with float arguments. Unless I'm missing something, we seem to call it with double arguments everywhere...

Anyway, an explicit cast to the integer type would maybe also make it clearer to a programmer what is going on in that part of the code.

Looking at old bug reports...

On my Debian system with ImageMagick 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.3, the following change all I need to allow Octave's current _magick_read_.cc to compile:


diff --git a/libinterp/corefcn/__magick_read__.cc b/libinterp/corefcn/__magick_read__.cc

but linking fails with


/bin/ld: libinterp/.libs/liboctinterp.so: undefined reference to `Magick::Color::Color(float, float, float)'
/bin/ld: libinterp/.libs/liboctinterp.so: undefined reference to `Magick::Color::Color(float, float, float, float)'


I have no idea why that happens.  The Color class has constructors that accept either 3 or 4 Quantum values and Quantum appears to be a typedef for MagickFloatType which is a typedef for float.

I'm willing to fix if someone wants to explain how to get the constructor defined.  Otherwise, maybe we should just require GraphicsMagick.

Understood. In the process of updating to v5.2.0 in Gentoo, I dropped support for imagemagick (and those two custom patches), based on the fact that you guys had rejected that approach. We can revisit it later. I just figured I'd make a note of it here since sometimes these things get lost forever.

As I suggested earlier in comment #6, I think we would like to avoid "using namespace Magick", which the Gentoo patch does.

We have two patches in Gentoo that look like they're intended to fix this:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-mathematics/octave/files/octave-4.4.0-imagemagick-configure.patch

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-mathematics/octave/files/octave-4.4.0-imagemagick.patch

They don't apply cleanly to 5.2.0 (which is how I'm winding up here), but the intent should still be clear, FWIW.

What about adding "using Magick::Quantum;" instead of importing the whole namespace?

This bug still affects the current stable and default branches.

I think we would still be open to a patch that fixes building Octave with ImageMagick from someone affected by this. But "using namespace Magick;" isn't an appropriate fix, we try to avoid importing entire namespaces into Octave sources.

The following minimal examples all show the same error:


#include <Magick++.h>
int x = MaxRGB;



#include <Magick++.h>
int x = QuantumRange;



#include <Magick++.h>
int x = Magick::QuantumRange;



#include <Magick++.h>
int x = MagickCore::QuantumRange;

The problem here is the "(Quantum)" cast because Quantum is not a #define but a typedef which is included inside the MagickCore namespace and imported into the Magick namespace. So a "using namespace Magick;" in libinterp/corefcn/__magick_read__.cc would be a simple and quick fix here. But I'm not sure if that's a acceptable solution

Ok, I can build the development version of Octave with ImageMagick 6.6.0.4 (Debian 6), but not at all with ImageMagick 6.7.7.10 (Debian 7) or any newer versions of ImageMagick. So yes, ImageMagick has diverged at some point from how Octave uses the GraphicsMagick API.

My understanding is that the APIs are supposed to be compatible. If someone who cares for using ImageMagick with Octave wants to submit a patch to make this work again, I'm sure it would be welcome as long as it doesn't introduce a lot of conditional logic or incompatibilities.

All developers and distributions are obviously using GraphicsMagick these days, because this hasn't been reported until now.

Confirmed, I installed ImageMagick (Debian version 8:6.9.6.2+dfsg-2) and I am also unable to build Octave with --with-magick=ImageMagick.

I have definitely been able to build Octave 4.0.2 with a previous release of ImageMagick earlier. I am now unable to build 4.0.3, 4.2, or the development version of Octave. It seems most likely that this is not a regression in Octave but maybe a change in the ImageMagick API or header files that Octave doesn't work with now.

For a start, I notice that ImageMagick's pkgconfig files now add some -D options that look important. But Octave only pulls the -I options from the pkgconfig rules.

I suspect that building with an older version of ImageMagick would work with the current Octave versions.

Yes.  I have this:


#if defined(MAGICKCORE_HDRI_SUPPORT)
typedef float Quantum;
#define QuantumRange  65535.0
#define QuantumFormat  "%g"
#else
typedef unsigned short Quantum;
#define QuantumRange  ((Quantum) 65535)
#define QuantumFormat  "%u"
#endif

This looks like an error in your ImageMagick installation rather than an Octave build failure.

Do lines 93 and 94 of /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/magick/magick-type.h look like this?


typedef unsigned short Quantum;
#define QuantumRange  ((Quantum) 65535)

I'm trying to build with ImageMagick 6.9.4-9 from Slackware 14.2, using --with-magick=ImageMagick.  It fails with this error:

I think support for ImageMagick has been broken for quite a while.
