GD with FreeType 2.x

[Seth]

I get an error saying freetype2 cannot be found

 

[Seth]

This is the biggest PITA. I don't even NEED it working but I HAVE to get it working now. I have followed everything to a tee and it will not compile.

Re: freetype setup

I've had, like most of you, some trouble with enabling freetype in gd.
But finally after some time found the solution.

first install freetype2.**

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

next part (2)
open /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/configure.php
and make sure the following lines are in there, if not add them.

                --with-gd \
	--with-gd-dir=/usr/local/lib \
	--with-freetype \
	--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \

next part (3)

in the /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/ directory
type in:

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

with these line you recompile gd & php ( with the ./build php, be sure to type Y when prompted for installing GD )

finally restart apache with.

service httpd restart

After this freetype worked finally worked for me.

Hi

UP

 

[Arkaos]

When trying to recompile ssh closed down :s

 

[Fantole]

Me too

 

[Arkaos]

its also killed the da daemon mysql and mail

 

[Fantole]

Ask your HOST a reboot

All will set out again like front

But always without freetype

I have the same problem as you

And with each installation, even error

 

[Arkaos]

Finally got it working without breaking the box this time, yay!!!!

 

[Fantole]

I would have liked that it is the same for me

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

Same problem...
I saw in your phpinfo that you have it working now.

please let me know how I can fix it

if I do ./configure in the freetype directory:
---
GNU make (>= 3.79.1) or makepp (>= 1.19) is required to build FreeType2.
Please try
`GNUMAKE=<GNU make command name> ./configure'.
or >&2
`GNUMAKE="makepp --norc-substitution" ./configure'.
