Installing ImageMagick on FreeBSD with a non-system Perl

As of the time of writing (December 2009), the current version of PerlMagick on CPAN doesn't work with the current port of ImageMagick on FreeBSD.

To install ImageMagick with a non-system Perl on FreeBSD

1. As root, install ImageMagick from ports:

   su
   cd /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick
   make install
   exit
   

2. Copy the PerlMagick directory in the build:

   mkdir ~/PerlMagick
   cp -r /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/work/ImageMagick-6.5.5-10/PerlMagick ~/PerlMagick
   

3. Edit "Makefile.PL" to add the correct include and library directories:

   $ diff Makefile.PL Makefile.PL.~1~ 
   62c62
   <    'INC'	=> '-I/usr/local/include/ImageMagick -I../ -I.. -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2',
   ---
   >    'INC'	=> '-I../ -I.. -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libxml2',
   86c86
   <    'LIBS' => [ '-L/usr/local/lib -L../magick/.libs -lMagickCore -L../wand/.libs -lMagickWand -lperl -lm' ],
   ---
   >    'LIBS' => [ '-L../magick/.libs -lMagickCore -L../wand/.libs -lMagickWand -lperl -lm' ],
   
   

4. Do

   perl Makefile.PL
   make install
   

   The compilation creates a lot of warnings.
