Add imagick extension

[hans-thomas]

What were you trying to do?

I want to manipulate images on my native PHP application.

What happened?

It throws an error because the Imagick extension isn't built into the PHP binaries.

How to reproduce the bug

I just installed spatie/image and tried to resize an image.

Notes

The Imagick extension is also available for windows link.

This isn't a bug. The Imagick extension hasn't been added because it is not yet supported across all platforms for static compilation.

The static compilation is the critical part here as it's the secure build which won't allow a nefarious third-party to load custom extensions at runtime.

I'll move this to the Ideas discussion category.

Okay then, is there any other way to package my Laravel app and at least run it on Windows?

[simonhamp]

imagick extension is not supported on Windows yet. It looks like the installation story for ImageMagick is more complicated for Windows.

I have raised a request with static-php-cli.

Sorry I can't be of more help at this stage.
