I am trying to compile PHP with GD and TTF support with a custom
version of the GD-1.8.4 library compiled with Freetype 1.3 on a RH 7.2
system which came with both freetype 1.3 and freetype 2.0 rpms
preinstalled by default. I removed the gd-devel rpm which came
preinstalled on the system in order to use my own custom GD which is
installed under /usr/local/lib.
I configure PHP with '--with-ttf=/usr --with-gd=/usr/local
--enable-gd-native-ttf' and PHP configure detects the right GD, but it
doesn't detect freetype 1.3.
Looking in ext/config.m4, I find that the script looks for freetype1
headers in
/usr/include/freetype.h
/usr/include/freetype/freetype.h
/usr/local/include/freetype.h
/usr/local/include/freetype/freetype.h
$TTF_DIR/include/freetype.h
$TTF_DIR/include/freetype/freetype.h
But RH7.2 comes with the freetype1 headers installed in
/usr/include/freetype1/freetype/freetype.h
A workaround is to create a logical link from /usr/include/freetype ->
/usr/include/freetype1/freetype ... and that works... with that logical
link my PHP builds with TTF support...
... but I think a better fix would be to modify ext/gd/config.m4 to
look for freetype1 headers under
$TTF_DIR/include/freetype1/freetype/freetype.h as well.
