Dear all, I tried to solve the issue with SVG conversion on Mac and now I’m a little bit lost.
The facts first: Until MacTeX 2014 there was ImageMagick included in the TeX distribution for Mac. Later releases don’t have it anymore. I added the home-made SVG2PNG conversion utility from Enrico to my LyX bundle and configured it for SVG to PNG conversion. For PNG to PDF I configured a converter with the „sips“ command line utility. LyX seems to assume the presence of the command „convert“ or „magick“. If I hide both commands on my system there are converters configured e.g. from SVG to PDFTEX using LyX’s python scripts. These scripts obviously are failing without these tools. What can I do to convert the LyX documents containing inset-info instances without ImageMagick? ATM, LyX seems to have a hard dependency on the ImageMagick tools. On a Mac this implies the installation of MacPorts of HomeBrew to get it. To do so one has to install Xcode from Apple. That’s a big hurdle and I’d like to avoid it and stick to the available command line tools. Regards, Stephan
