OSX: How to get imageMagick (working with fonts)?
Hmm, OSX offers out of the box a lot of UI-programs, but is missing most of the *NIX-fun. So if you need imageMagick for your work, you are missing it. The prepared installers are missing the support for the font-manipulation.
Of course, you can download and build all packages by yourself from scratch … or you use one of the nice packet-managers like fink, macports or homebrew.
The fastest way to get a usable OSX (tried with 10.10 and 10.8) for the contactSheet-script is by executing those simple four commands in your terminal. Existing internet-connection assumed:
|
1 2 3 4 |
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install fontconfig brew install imagemagick brew install ghostscript |
(Linux: use your favorite package-manager.
Windows: :DDDDD I guess it won’t work until you also get some bash-replacement.)
Check afterwards the current configuration. The list of delegates should show “freetype” or “fontconfig”. If both are missing, then rendering the filename onto the thumbnails won’t work!

Tell OSX to search in the current folder by default
This is one of the most annoying things I encountered while working with OSX: you start filtering the current view and then notice the system is including the whole Mac into the search. Then you click on “<current foldername>” and fixed it. For now, not forever!
Fixable forever by picking “Search the Current Folder” in “Finder > Preferences > Advanced”
QtGui.framework/Headers/qitemdelegate.h:124:40: error: macro “check” passed 3 arguments, but takes just 1
After adding some needed includes the following error can be shown by GCC:
|
1 |
QtGui.framework/Headers/qitemdelegate.h:124:40: error: macro "check" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 1 |
But you did not intend to deal neither with ‘QItemDelegate’ nor ‘check’. So what is the reason?
Have a look at the erroneous file: does it use an include like
|
1 |
#include <QtGui/QtGui> |
where someone was lazy as sh*t?
Replace this by the specialised includes. Recompile, fixed.
Some other workaround is the extensive use of
|
1 |
#undef check |
but I don’t really recommend this.
ps. ‘check’ is special. Did you try once to name your variable ‘string’?
