Re: Compiling octave specifying path to GraphicsMagick library

[CdeMills]

I applied a number of tips and tricks found on linuxfromscratch. If you want
to recompile a number of softwares for yourself:
1) create ${HOME}/usr  (or anything else) as base for the installation
2) create ${HOME}/usr/lib/pkgconfig as repository for the local config files
3) in the .profile, setup a few things:
# set LD_LIBRARY_PATH if not set
(echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep -q lib) || export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/usr/lib"

# for GNUStep apps
. ${HOME}/usr/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    (echo $PATH | grep -q $HOME/bin) || export
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/usr/local/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$PATH"
fi
if [ -d "$HOME/usr/lib/pkgconfig" ]; then
    (echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH | grep -q $HOME/usr/lib/pkgconfig) || export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
fi

4) logout, login, compile whatever you need, using configure as
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr
so things will be added into ${HOME}/usr/bin, ...

5) for Octave:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/usr --with-magick=ImageMagick
With this setup, pkg-config will report the right library names, and the
--prefix=${HOME}/usr will ensure precedence of all your local libs over the
system installed ones.
