I've spent a lot of time on this today and I'm about to throw in the towel. All I need is the ability to do basic image manipulations on just a couple of file types AND the ability to add text to the image. I can't believe the amount of baggage that ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick bring with them. GraphicsMagick is much faster at the image manipulation steps so I decided pretty quickly to scrap ImageMagick. GraphicsMagick's documentation isn't as good though. I figured adding text to the images for album and song info was going to be easy (and it is if you bring in a ton of dependencies like the stock repo package does). I figure I'd recompile myself and strip out most everything. What a nightmare.
I also tried to build the gmic cli utility thinking it would do what I need but I can't get it to compile. Convert to png and add some text? Does it really take 25 different packages?? Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109694 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
