Package: libgraphicsmagick++1-dev Version: 1.3.5-5.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I've encountered a nasty conflict between GraphicsMagick and some other lib (specifically, Andor Technology's SDK) over the use of a function named SetImage, which is provided by both libraries with mutually exclusive semantics. GraphicsMagick features several such widely-used function names, which can easily cause problems in other contexts, too. For this reason probably, the GraphicsMagick configure script offers the --enable-symbol-prefix option, which prefixes all exported functions with Gm and thereby greatly reduces the chances of name space conflicts. This option is not enabled in the current debian release. This could be fixed by adding a line between lines 79 and 80 of the debian/rules file. Unfortunately, I think this would require rebuilding packages built against non-symbol-prefix enabled versions and might therefore not be very wise to do immediately; however, if at some point in the future binary compatibility will be broken anyway, adding this option to the configuration would greatly help some users like me. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=, lc_ctype=de_de.iso885...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgraphicsmagick++1-dev depends on: ii libgraphicsmagick++3 1.3.5-5.1 format-independent image processin ii libgraphicsmagick1-dev 1.3.5-5.1 format-independent image processin libgraphicsmagick++1-dev recommends no packages.
