I submitted an update that made GraphicsMagick the default, but withdrew it when the discussion here turned towards supporting both.  Unfortunately it was committed anyway, so you’ll find 2.1.4 in ports at the moment, but only with GraphicsMagick.

I’ve just submitted another update, 2.1.4_1, that will let you select either ImageMagick v6 or GraphicsMagic, that defaults to GraphicsMagick.

ImageMagick will use clang, and GraphicsMagick will use gcc.

Hopefully that will be committed soon.

Carl.
