Compiling Apache GD Freetype

[AdamDM]

Hello,

I am hosting a friend, and his site requires that GD be compiling with free type....I know that the easy apache script compiles GD, but I need it to compile with free type as well.

Can anyone explain how to do this? I am at a loss how to.

Thanks,
Chris

The last time we did it we followed instructions posted on these forums.

The only problem we had was that the instructions showed the wrong location: freetype was in /usr/lib, and not where the forum post said it would be.

I'm still struggling to get this accomplished. I too saw that freetype was installed in /usr/lib made those changes and still get the zlib errors when trying to build php.

My steps:

installed freetype-devel
changed the build file for doGD to change the --without-freetype to --with-freetype=/usr/lib

changed configure.php to add --with-freetype and --with-freetype=/usr/lib

./build clean
./build gd
./build php

no love

I get the following error:

--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib
