From looking at the GraphicsMagick
Makefile, it appears that does install a 'compare' command so the lack
of 'compare' must be an artifact of Debian packaging.
Couldn't find the mentioned Makefile - only magick/compare.c exists
with methods for GraphicsMagick itself.
If the Debian packaging was updated to include 'compare' would this
satisfy your expectations?
Bob, may you check your GraphicsMagick install? Does it really
install a 'compare' binary?
A quick check reveals that a 'compare' command is installed yet I
think that it will not actually work due to "compare" not being listed
in command_names[]. This feels like a bug to me.
The question remains as to if GraphicsMagick's compare is similar
enough to satisfy common usages.
Just for the record, the 'stream' binary also seems to be missing in GM.
Yes, and there is no plan to implement such a thing.
