ImageMagick build fails when linking to lcms/lcms2

[almond@…]

The build phase of ImageMagick is failing to find symbols when linking against the lcms library. I'm running MacOS X 10.5.8 and

ralmond@Skuld[44]% port installed lcms
The following ports are currently installed:
  lcms @1.19_2
  lcms @1.19_2+universal (active)
ralmond@Skuld[45]% port installed lcms2
The following ports are currently installed:
  lcms2 @2.2_0 (active)

A puzzling error is turning up in the configure phase:

:info:configure checking for LCMS v2... 
:info:configure checking lcms2.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking lcms2.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for lcms2.h... yes
:info:configure checking for cmsSetLogErrorHandler in -llcms2... no
:info:configure checking if LCMS v2 package is complete... no -- some components failed test
:info:configure ./configure: line 29552: test: too many arguments
:info:configure -------------------------------------------------------------

This may be related to #29745.

Can you attach the config.log please?

Actually in your case the problem is easily explained, in that you're trying to build a universal ImageMagick, and ImageMagick uses lcms2, and lcms2 is not universal on your system. I've fixed the dependency to read lcms2 and not lcms (see #29745); please re-test with that version. (MacPorts should upgrade your lcms2 to universal before trying to build ImageMagick.)

This worked exactly as advertised.

Thanks for the quick diagnosis and fix!
