In my case :
1) Install Ruby 1.9.1 (i386-mingw32) from http://www.rubyinstaller.org/, direct link

2) Install Development Kit (DevKit) from http://www.rubyinstaller.org/addons.html, direct link

3) Install ImageMagick 6.5.6-8-Q8 from http://www.imagemagick.org , direct link with header !!!!

4) Download Rmagick from source : http://github.com/rmagick/rmagick , direct link or git clone git://github.com/rmagick/rmagick.git

5) Replace !ImageMagick Path!\config\type-ghostscript.xml with

http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml

 

 

6) Set enviroment variable :
set CPATH=!ImageMagick Path!\include
set LIBRARY_PATH=!ImageMagick Path!\lib
set PATH=!ImageMagick Path!
[EDIT]
set PATH = !ruby_path!\bin
set PATH = !ruby_path!\devkit\msys\1.0.11\bin
set PATH = !ruby_path!\devkit\gcc\3.4.5\bin
[EDIT]
7) run “ruby setup.rb” [EDIT] from msys.bat ( !ruby_path!\devkit\msys\1.0.11\msys.bat ) [EDIT]

 

8) run “ruby setup.rb install” or “gem build *.gemspec” and “gem install *.gem”

9) Enjoy :D

    Hello, Carlo!

    Just repeated your steps and it’s actually work! Great! Now I can use rmagick with rubu 1.9.1 under windows. Thank you!

    @Alex : :D Well!

  • http://betterlogic.com/roger roger

    Why do you need the http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml instead? Shouldn’t imagemagick have come with that?

  • http://www.waydotnet.com WaYdotNET

    If i use normale type-ghostscript.xml, it doesn’t compile because it doesn’t find the right font. to bypass this problem (in my laptop) i have replaced it with the xml file for windows (type-windows.xml )

  • http://betterlogic.com/roger roger

    Interesting. Mine seems to compile with the default set, so perhaps something has changed since then…

    Ruby 1.9.2p0 WORK !

  • worrawut

    I did it with my 1.9.1 on Windows.
    Many thanks !

  • http://www.agilejavaoop.com Abder-Rahman

    The “direct link” of:

    1) Install Ruby 1.9.1 (i386-mingw32) from http://www.rubyinstaller.org/, direct link

    Seems to give the same as (3)

  • http://www.agilejavaoop.com Abder-Rahman

    How can I perform this step?

    5) Replace !ImageMagick Path!\config\type-ghostscript.xml with http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml

    In other words, where should I do those changes? Is that in an .rb file?

    Thanks.

  • http://www.agilejavaoop.com Abder-Rahman

    @Abder-Rahman

    Oh, I think it is in the imageMagick path? I mean, I will find type-ghostscript.xml in the ImageMagick path? There is nothing to do with .rb files here, right?

  • http://www.waydotnet.com WaYdotNET

    Abder sorry for later… :D
    thx 4 found error link :D

    5 step:
    http://www.waydotnet.com/blog/2010/02/rmagick-on-ruby-1-9-1-i386-mingw32-work-d/#comment-613
    physically replace the file type-ghostscript.xml with type-windows.xml
    (es: c:\program files\ImageMagick\config\type-windows.xml replace with http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml )

    my english now is very very bad :D

    I did the following on Windows 7, 64bit, and it worked (all additional packages installed in c:\opt):

    Download:
    http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.6.4-4-Q16-windows-dll.exe
    http://files.rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk/rmagick/RMagick-2.13.1.tar.bz2

    set CPATH=c:\opt\ImageMagick-6.6.4-Q16\include
    set LIBRARY_PATH=c:\opt\ImageMagick-6.6.4-Q16\lib
    path %PATH%;c:\opt\ImageMagick-6.6.4-Q16
    C:\opt\devkit\devkitvars.bat

    ruby -v
    ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]

    (It was installed using the latest ruby 1.9.2.p0 installer and devkit http://www.rubyinstaller.org/news/2010/08/23/rubyinstaller-1-9-2-p0-and-new-devkits-released/)

    (It is the 32bit version of ImageMagick, the 64bit did not work).

  • http://www.waydotnet.com WaYdotNET

    Good news !
    Many thanks Joachim for information!

  • Kira Corina

    Remember that ImageMagick installation path should be without any spaces (“Program Files” are NOT OK). This was my issue, and was hard to work out.

  • http://www.waydotnet.com WaYdotNET

    @kira thanks !

  • Kira Corina

    @WaYdotNET: thanks to you, too! Your article is just a rescue for those who need Rmagick on Windows!
    I also made use of instructions in Joachim’s comment (ran “devkitvars.bat”, as there are no “msys” and “gcc” directories in the new devkit; and did not use msys.bat, simply ran “ruby setup.rb”). I did replace the “type-ghostscript.xml” file to make rmagick tests pass (otherwise they failed).
    This works for me on Windows XP, Ruby 1.92 and ImageMagick 6.6.5-4-Q16.

    I am not able to install devkit. could you please explain in detail for windows 7

    Works with Ruby 1.9.2p136 RMagic 6.6.7-Q16 (16 bit images).

    Initially I was confused about downloading source vs the Windows binary but then found the right link. The official Windows binaries are here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows And the archive is here: http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/

    and also after it i had to this line to my gem file
    gem ‘rmagick’
    and thanks for the guide :D

  • Christian

    Thanks a lot – this was so painfull for me. Just to let you know what i was about to do and probably lead some search queries to this post:

    * Installed RadRails 2
    * Installed redmine following these instructions (http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_a_sub-URI_on_Windows_with_Apache)
    * Set installed ruby as default interpreter
    * Started RadRails from within the “Start comman prompt with ruby”
    * RMagick was not found :( (
    * After some confusion and pain got rmagick built (Had error message ‘too many examples failed…’ but then ignored it and installed the created gem anyway
    * Finally it seems to work: I can start ruby with redmine and easy_agile-Plugin from within RadRails

    Thank you a lot :)
