Hi

here's how I managed to add Imagick to XAMPP on fresh Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Files I had to download:

I used this version of XAMPP

Code: Select all

https://downloadsapachefriends.global.ssl.fastly.net/xampp-files/7.1.11/xampp-linux-x64-7.1.11-0-installer.run

Choose the version of PHP source code that matches the the version your XAMPP uses. In this case 7.1.11 = 7.1.11

Code: Select all

http://php.net/distributions/php-7.1.11.tar.gz

Imagick

Code: Select all

https://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.4.3.tgz

Install these packages:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install php-pear
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-6.q16-dev

Extract the PHP source code to /opt/lampp/include/php - this folder wasn't on my pc. Probably because I installed XAMPP without 'developers files'. You might also have to change permissions in order to be able to copy something to /opt/lampp (or run

Code: Select all

sudo -i

to become root and then run

Code: Select all

nautilus

to start the file manager with root rights and avoid changing permissions

Run these commands

Code: Select all

sudo -i
cd /opt/lampp/include/php/
./configure


Extract Imagick anywhere you want to - I used

Code: Select all

/home/user/Downloads/imagick/imagick-3.4.3

Run

Code: Select all

cd /home/user/Downloads/imagick/imagick-3.4.3
sudo /opt/lampp/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config
make
make install

Now add this line

Code: Select all

extension="imagick.so"

to /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini. I added it just above ;zend_extension=opcache.so to line 1030

Start or restart XAMPP and you should see imagick in your PHP info
