GD with FreeType 2.x

[RosT]

What to do for compile GD with FreeType 2.x support?

 

[tribal-dolphin]

Hello,

To do that, you must compile gd with freetype support.

Do this :

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/
wget [url]http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freetype/freetype-2.1.9.tar.gz[/url]
tar zxf freetype-2.1.9.tar.gz
cd freetype-2.1.9
./configure
make
make install

Freetype 2.x is now installed on /usr/local/lib directory

Now, modify the build script (./build) for compile GD with FreeType :
In function doGD replace

./configure --with-png=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --without-freetype

by

./configure --with-png=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --with-freetype=/usr/local

Now, build PHP WITH compile of GD (type Y at prompted)

./build php

and after do

service httpd restart

That's all.

install: too few arguments
Try `install --help' for more information.

 

[tribal-dolphin]

Ooooooops !!

It's not install but make install.
I'll modify my first post.

Didn't work for me, any ideas?

Thanks,

[Seth]

Thank you for using PHP.

/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/configure.php: line 7: --with-gd: command not found

*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the configure.php file

Is my error via shell.

It's an error on your file. It's not from PHP or GD.
Check the content of your file.

This is my file. It run with no error.

[Seth]

Can I see your php output? For some reason mine will not compile with Freetype

 

[tribal-dolphin]

go to http://s1.tribal-dolphin.net/phpinfo.php

 

[Seth]

I have tried everything I know how to do with no luck.

 

[tribal-dolphin]

Can you post here your doGD function (in ./build script)

thanks

Freetype 2.x is now installed on /usr/local/lib directory

Now, modify the build script (./build) for compile GD with FreeType :
In function doGD replace

./configure --with-png=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --without-freetype

by

./configure --with-png=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --with-freetype=/usr/local

Now, build PHP WITH compile of GD (type Y at prompted)

./build php

and after do

service httpd restart

That's all. [/B]

Got stuck here. Everything went fine, and I edited the configure.php file so it looks like this :

#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--with-apxs \
--with-curl \
--with-curl-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gd \
--with-gd-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gettext \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-kerberos \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-mhash \
--with-mysql \
--with-pear \
--with-pcre \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-zip \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-ftp \


But when I recompile GD and PHP it still won't show the freetype......

What to do ?

You don't have to modify configure.php but the file named build

 

[mvveelen]

Thanx.

Doing that right now

 

[mvveelen]

One more question :

Do I have to add something like --with-gif=/usr/local to get support with .gif ??

 

[mvveelen]

It still doesn't support the freetype :

'./configure' '--with-apxs' '--with-curl' '--with-curl-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-gd' '--with-gd-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-xml' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zip' '--with-openssl' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars'

 

[tribal-dolphin]

It's not necessary to build GD with gif.
GD include gif support for read (2.0.25) and read/write (2.0.28)

 

[mvveelen]

Ok, but I now rebuild PHP and everything went fine, but still no support for freetype
