{ask}PHP with GD dan FreeType Support

[ciremai]

I want to install PHP 5.6 with GD dan FreeType enabled. I was following this tutorial
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2013/10/enable-gd-php/
but no success. The GD was succesfully installed but the FreeType was not.

Below is my PHP configuration,

Code: Select all

'./configure' 
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' 
'--with-mysql' 
'--with-mysqli' 
'--with-pdo-mysql' 
'--with-mcrypt' 
'--enable-soap' 
'--with-zlib' 
'--with-curl' 
'--enable-mbstring' 
'--with-gd' 
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr' 
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' 
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' 
'--with-png-dir=/usr' 
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr'

And this is the GD section from phpinfo()

Code: Select all

GD Support	enabled
GD Version	bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
GIF Read Support	enabled
GIF Create Support	enabled
PNG Support	enabled
libPNG Version	1.4.12
WBMP Support	enabled
XBM Support	enabled

there is no "FreeType-support enabled" over there.

thanks before

Maybe get rid of the tics (') and used the backslash on each line to continue the "configure" command.

Code: Select all

 ./configure  \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql \
-with-mysqli \
--with-pdo-mysql \
--with-mcrypt \
--enable-soap \
--with-zlib \
--with-curl \
--enable-mbstring \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-png-dir=/usr \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr

Thanks. Actually my real PHP configuration was like this

Code: Select all

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql --with-mcrypt --enable-soap --with-zlib --with-curl --enable-mbstring --with-gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-png-dir=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr

I try your suggestion and restart apache server but the result is the same.

I read from stackoverflow that there is a package called php5-gd that will enable GD and FreeType as well. Is there a similar package in Salix?

Why are you trying to compile php, and not using the package that is in the repositories?

If I have to use PHP package from repositories how do I uninstall current PHP installation?

having read from here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... hp-837310/
there are two options, either remove all files and folders from following locations

Code: Select all

$ whereis php
php: /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php /usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/local/lib/php.ini~ /usr/local/php

or re-configure and "make uninstall". Or is there a better way?

I don't know. You should know. You installed that.

re-configure and "make uninstall"

Try that - it's probably your best bet.

In general, working with what's in the repositories (using Salix package management) is the safest starting-point. It may well be that in this case, it would have met your needs.

If it doesn't, it might be worth looking at the Slackware package and experimentally rebuilding it with minimal changes the the configure options:

However, looking quickly through them, it does seem as though gd should be enabled - whatever that is:

Code: Select all

--with-gd=shared \
