Re: GM in one binary

Definitely not a warning, making gm.exe exit before it processes anything.
"./gm convert -list delegate" returns an empty list with "Unable to access configuration file (delegates.mgk) [No such file or directory]." following.

> MAGICK_DEBUG=configure
Funny thing, doing "export MAGICK_DEBUG=configure" just causes "[No such file or directory]" to disappear, no log files created in case that was the indented function.
Doing "unset MAGICK_DEBUG" makes the Error message appear full again with "[No such file or directory]"

Then I'm off to figuring this out...


Thanks

An actual error (maybe only a warning?) is not good.

Given what you appear to be doing (and now that I know you are using 
MinGW64 with configure), I suggest you add --disable-installed to your 
configure options:

   --disable-installed     disable building an installed GraphicsMagick

This option removes hard-coded search paths for files and builds 
relative paths instead.

Set MAGICK_DEBUG=configure in the environment if you need to debug 
initialization issues.  This should cause logging of what GM is doing 
while it is initializing.

Hopefully it is not too hard. :-)

If you need minor improvements we can get them into the next release.
