pkgconfig and C++ API changes
Posted: 2018-08-20T12:17:25-07:00
As shown in https://bugs.gentoo.org/663468 and others for Imagemagick7 and linking apps, there are issues related to pkgconfig, and others to the C++ API Changes. Especilally inkscape, which is animportant piece of OS Software.
1. Inkscape didn't recognize IM7 because it looks for ImageMagick++ in pkgconfig, not for Magick++, and that isn't found.
If I generate a symlink the Inkscape set up finds ImageMagick++ but it uses the removed deprecated functions and errors.
To figure out a solution I'd like to know:
1. The pkgconfig entries and links through the V6.9 to recent history, because then the configure checks can be adjusted.
2. The C++ API removements an there replacements to obtain patches for the failing apps.
Where can I find this information? (without parsing every release)
