No package 'yes' found magick package

[dvargas135]

I used ./configure --with-magickpackage and then checked the config log. I happened to find this error but I'm not sure how to install 'yes' package

configure:17749: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "$with_magickpackage"
Package yes was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `yes.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Hi @dvargas135,

You need to give the name of the magick package you want to use, for example:

./configure --with-magickpackage=GraphicsMagick

By default it'll use ImageMagick, so if it wasn't detecting it, you're probably missing the development headers.

sorry for opening another issue. I couldn't comment on this one because it was closed

I built imagemagick with the flag --with-modules and everything went fine but when i tried to build libvips afterwards i get the same error

Package yes was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `yes.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I would like to use imagemagick and not graphicsmagick
I'm using ImageMagick 7.1.0-8 Q16-HDRI x86_64 2021-09-18 and vips 8.11.4

Where can i find this 'yes' package?

[jcupitt]

The libvips configure --with-magickpackage flag needs an argument: the name of the magick package you want to build against:

./configure --with-magickpackage=GraphicsMagick

By default it'll search for ImageMagick, so in your case just:

./configure 

should work.

I added an error message to libvips master if the argument is missing.

Thank you, worked like a charm.
