Description of problem: Attempting to build WindowMaker from latest source produces this error message: checking for Magick support library... configure: error: found MagickWand library but could not compile its header I did a dnf reinstall ImageMagick hoping that something went awry during upgrade but am seeing the same symptom. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ImageMagick-7.0.6.9-4.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see below 2. 3.

WindowMaker does not natively support ImageMagick 7. The Fedora package carries a patch to support it so you're welcome to use that patch. yum install WindowMaker-0.95.8-5.fc28 or https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/WindowMaker/blob/master/f/WindowMaker-0.95.8-imagemagick7.patch I am eventually going to send the patch upstream, but I need to add support for ImageMagick 6.
Michael, Thank you for your help. By the way, I have written several bugs in the RedHat bugzilla bug site relating to problems I've encountered. I've seen NO activity on any of them. Do the "owners" of WindowMaker support their code any more? Regards, George...
Andreas is a busy guy. You could try to reach him via private mail or asking in the bug if he can look at your issues. You could also ask if you would be able to co-maintain WindowMaker with him and fix the issues yourself.
I had the same error and manage to work around. I created a symbolic link ln -s /usr/include/ImageMagick-6/wand /usr/include/MagickWand Then I ran again ./configure and everything is fine.
