Public bug reported: Background discussion:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/251950/imagemagick-convert-cant-convert- to-webp The very simple fix is to have the Ubuntu build scripts changed to enable WebP support per the comments: """ The Ubuntu source package for imagemagick does not declare a build dependency on libwebp-dev. Thus imagemagick gets built without webp support. This could be considered a bug in Ubuntu. Relevant output from the build process: checking for WEBP... checking webp/decode.h usability... no checking webp/decode.h presence... no checking for webp/decode.h... no checking for WebPDecodeRGB in -lwebp... no checking if WEBP package is complete... no And when libwebp-dev Install libwebp-dev is installed: checking for WEBP... checking webp/decode.h usability... yes checking webp/decode.h presence... yes checking for webp/decode.h... yes checking for WebPDecodeRGB in -lwebp... yes checking if WEBP package is complete... yes If you want to fix this just for yourself, you can rebuild the package and install your version: cd /tmp mkdir imagemagick cd imagemagick sudo apt-get build-dep imagemagick sudo apt-get install libwebp-dev devscripts apt-get source imagemagick cd imagemagick-* debuild -uc -us sudo dpkg -i ../*magick*.deb """ ** Affects: graphicsmagick (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1345803 Title: imagemagick should be built with WebP support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/graphicsmagick/+bug/1345803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
