PerlMagic installation using --without-perl configure option: No rule to make target 'Q16HDRI.pm'

[hakonhagland]

ImageMagick version

7.1.0

Operating system

Linux

Operating system, version and so on

Ubuntu 22.04

Description

According to the documentation:

When --without-perl is specified, you must first install ImageMagick, change to the PerlMagick subdirectory, build, and finally install PerlMagick.

I tried this on Ubuntu 22.04:

$ git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:ImageMagick/ImageMagick.git
$ cd ImageMagick
$ ./configure --without-perl --prefix=/opt/image-magick3
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd PerlMagick
$ perl Makefile.PL

make: *** [Makefile:545: subdirs] Error 2

Here are the complete log files from the previous build steps:
configure_log.txt
make_log.txt
make_install_log.txt

(NOTE: If I use the --with-perl configure option instead, it works fine, i.e. no errors when running sudo make install. So this question is specifically about the ---without-perl configure option)

I get essentially the same error with Strawberry Perl 5.38.0 on Windows 11:

D:\s\ImageMagick\PerlMagick>gmake
cp Magick.pm blib\lib\Image\Magick.pm
AutoSplitting blib\lib\Image\Magick.pm (blib\lib\auto\Image\Magick)
gmake[1]: Entering directory 'D:/s/ImageMagick/PerlMagick/default'
cp Magick.pm ..\blib\lib\Image\Magick.pm
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 'D:/s/ImageMagick/PerlMagick/default'
gmake[1]: Entering directory 'D:/s/ImageMagick/PerlMagick/quantum'
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Q16HDRI.pm', needed by 'pm_to_blib'.  Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 'D:/s/ImageMagick/PerlMagick/quantum'

We updated the documentation. When --without-perl is specified, you must first install ImageMagick, download the PerlMagick source distribution, build, and finally install PerlMagick.

We updated the documentation

@urban-warrior Thanks!

download the PerlMagick source distribution, build, and finally install PerlMagick.

I will test this later today. A quick question about the documentation. If I go to this page: https://imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php (instead of the other page https://imagemagick.org/script/advanced-linux-installation.php) it says:

you must install PerlMagick from the ImageMagick source distribution. Download the latest source release.

but this link refers to another page.. It is confusing, maybe this page also needs to be updated?

[urban-warrior]

The documentation is correct. The recommended PerlMagick install is from the ImageMagick source distribution with the --with-perl configure script command-line argument.

[hakonhagland]

download the PerlMagick source distribution, build, and finally install PerlMagick.

I will test this later today

@urban-warrior I tested this now from a docker container running Ubuntu 22.04 and I get a failed tests, see:
#6767

[hakonhagland]

Since #6767 is partially resolved now, I close this.
