Description (last modified by )
New spkg's available at these url's:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/pil-1.1.6.p2.spkg
#7345 -- http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/libtiff-3.9.1.p0.spkg
#7344 -- http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/libjpeg-7.p0.spkg
In binary build mode, the updated PIL library optionally depends on libtiff, libpng, and libjpeg with the path explicitly set to the local lib path. TCL/TK support is disabled.
From the pil-1.1.6.spkg's "setup.py":
# -------------------------------------------------------------------- # Library pointers. # # Use None to look for the libraries in well-known library locations. # Use a string to specify a single directory, for both the library and # the include files. Use a tuple to specify separate directories: # (libpath, includepath). Examples: # # JPEG_ROOT = "/home/libraries/jpeg-6b" # TIFF_ROOT = "/opt/tiff/lib", "/opt/tiff/include" # # If you have "lib" and "include" directories under a common parent, # you can use the "libinclude" helper: # # TIFF_ROOT = libinclude("/opt/tiff") FREETYPE_ROOT = None JPEG_ROOT = None TIFF_ROOT = None ZLIB_ROOT = None TCL_ROOT = None # FIXME: add mechanism to explicitly *disable* the use of a library # --------------------------------------------------------------------
and any of these libraries the setup thinks it finds will be set as
-DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ
and the like in "building '_imaging' extension".
This means that if a Sage binary is built on a computer with having some of these libraries, then this binary will *not* work (might not even start) on a computer not having at least these libraries available.
Even more fun (again taken from PIL's setup.py):
elif sys.platform == "darwin": # attempt to make sure we pick freetype2 over other versions add_directory(include_dirs, "/sw/include/freetype2") add_directory(include_dirs, "/sw/lib/freetype2/include") # fink installation directories add_directory(library_dirs, "/sw/lib") add_directory(include_dirs, "/sw/include") # darwin ports installation directories add_directory(library_dirs, "/opt/local/lib") add_directory(include_dirs, "/opt/local/include")
Last, but not least, pil-1.1.6 as contained in Sage-4.2.alpha1 breaks the Sage build, at least on my computer. It somehow thinks it could find "libjpeg" and its includes, but then cannot:
... running build_ext --- using frameworks at /System/Library/Frameworks building '_imaging' extension gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ -I/System/Library/Frameworks/ Tcl.framework/Headers -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/ Headers -I/Users/Shared/sage/sage-4.2.alpha1/local/include/freetype2 - IlibImaging -I/opt/local/include -I/Users/Shared/sage/sage-4.2.alpha1/ local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/Users/Shared/sage/ sage-4.2.alpha1/local/include/python2.6 -c decode.c -o build/ temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6/decode.o In file included from decode.c:653: libImaging/Jpeg.h:11:21: error: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory In file included from decode.c:653: libImaging/Jpeg.h:17: error: field 'pub' has incomplete type libImaging/Jpeg.h:26: error: field 'pub' has incomplete type libImaging/Jpeg.h:49: error: field 'cinfo' has incomplete type libImaging/Jpeg.h:62: error: field 'pub' has incomplete type libImaging/Jpeg.h:90: error: field 'cinfo' has incomplete type error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 The full install.log is at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/weberg/logs/sage-4.2.alpha1_install.log
But the problem with the binaries *will* occur on any platform, not only Darwin.
So we either have to also include a jpeg.spkg, a tiff.spkg, and so on in Sage (and make sure PIL uses these !!!), or cripple PIL to not use any of these libraries (even if they *were* present).
The former is problematic, as far as I remember e.g. the tiff license is not GPL compatible (apart from the technical aspects), but I might be mistaken. Crippling might render PIL pretty useless, however.

I have made a libjpeg (I needed it for PIL) -- it is available here: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/libjpeg-7.p0.spkg
comment:3 Changed 11 years ago by
As for the TIFF library, it seems to be BSD licensed: http://www.libtiff.org/misc.html, which is GPL compatible, as far as I know. Are there any other libraries needed for inclusion?
I'll gladly make an spkg for libtiff as well, if needed.

Here's a libtiff package: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/libtiff-3.9.1.p0.spkg. Updated PIL package here: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/pil-1.1.6.p1.spkg. The updated package has explicid dependencies on Sage's libtiff, libpng and libjpeg, and disables TCL/TK.
I'm guessing libtiff and libjpeg have to be voted in?

Changed PIL package as per William's suggestion at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/msg/6ea0a0e0a0a2a71a. libjpeg
and libtiff
packages are up at #7344 and #7345 respectively. Patch to automatically rebuild PIL in binary build mode attached.

It has a patch with this name "trac_7273-sage-bdist.spkg". Huh? I have no idea what that means. I'm totally confused by this "with patch; needs review" ticket.
comment:9 Changed 11 years ago by
A reviewer (and, on positive review, an integrator) is IMHO supposed to do the following:
- replace the current "pil-1.1.6.spkg" with "pil-1.1.6.p2.spkg" placed (see above) at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/timdumol/pil-1.1.6.p2.spkg
- apply the patch with the strange name to "$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/", i.e. the sage_scripts spkg's repository, in order to apply certain changes to the shell-script "sage-bdist" (one can view the contents of this patch from/inside trac just as usual).
And check that everything works fine, i.e. especially in the case of building a Sage binary distribution, neither jpeg nor tiff (even though they migth be present at the host computer where the bdist takes place and/or where the Sage version was built) are added as libraries that the then newly built PIL depends on.

Sorry, there was some miscommunication. I do not like the design of trac_7273-sage-bdist.spkg, in that I strongly disagree with "sage -bdist" literally rebuilding parts of that Sage install. I would much prefer the following, which would fit well with my workflow:
(1) introduce a SAGE_BINARY_BUILD flag
(2) whenever I'm going to build sage binaries, I set that flag in my build script before ever starting any of the builds.
My understanding is that in fact your pil-1.1.6.p2.spkg in fact fully accomplishes (1) and (2) above already, and that if I simply ignore the patch trac_7273-sage-bdist.spkg then I get everything I want already?
Also, should libtiff and libjpeg be posted to the optional spkg repo? Is there a ticket for that? To do that, I would want a commitment that 2 people are going to maintain them, at least for the next year (say).
OK, I've looked at the PIL spkg and I think it looks very good.
So I'm +1 for putting this new spkg in, and I'm -1 to trac_7273-sage-bdist.spkg.

For standard yes, but for optional, the main thing is to get somebody to referee the packages and commit to maintaining them.

- Merged in set to sage-4.2.1.rc0
- Resolution set to fixed
- Reviewers set to William Stein
- Status changed from positive_review to closed
I've merge just the spkg in 4.2.1.rc0.
PIL will still be able to work with PNG, which we do include.
---
That said, I'm OK with not including PIL in sage-4.2. Whoever really wants PIL in Sage should fix the above issues for a future Sage release.
