Subject: Imager v0.99 does not support most recent versions of giflib
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 00:54:30 +0000
To: "bug-Imager [...] rt.cpan.org" <bug-Imager [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: Steve Green <SGreen [...] FaceFirst.com>
Hi, I was attempting to build Imager v0.99 (Win32 ActivePerl v5.16.3) and the process failed when attempting to compile with giflib v5.1.0. It appears that the calling sequence for all the open/close routines in giflib have an extra "errorcode" parameter in versions > 5.0. Are there plans to support these newer releases of giflib? I've built Imager with giflib 4.2.3, which compiles and passes all of Imager's tests. However, for some reason that I've yet to determine, the supplied "giftext" utility in giflib fails attempting to read an image (so I'm a bit nervous to use this version in my Imager build). Thanks for all your effort on the Imager package. It has been very useful in our perl scripts. Steve

I guess I should have read the documentation prior to filing this bug since it states that giflib versions 4.2 and 5.0 are not supported due to bugs... Steve Show quoted text

4.2.0 and 5.0.0 isn't supported, but 4.2.1 and 5.0.1 are supported. Unfortunately a new API incompatibility was added int 5.1.0, so Imager 0.99 and earlier don't work with giflib 5.1.0. Imager in git now does support giflib 5.1.0, if you want to give it a go: git clone git://git.imager.perl.org/imager.git cd imager && perl Makefile.PL && make test && make install I'll do a dev release soon.
