Bug #76310 [Asn->Opn]: with-freetype-dir doesn't work with custom prefix

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76310&edit=1 ID: 76310 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: fred5 at originsystems dot co dot za Summary: with-freetype-dir doesn't work with custom prefix -Status: Assigned +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: GD related Operating System: CentOS 7 PHP Version: 7.1.17 -Assigned To: cmb +Assigned To: Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It seems to me we're merely hitting a limitation of freetype-config here, and the cleanest way to get rid of this limitation would be to switch to pkg-config (see <https://bugs.php.net/76324>). For time reasons I won't be able to have a closer look at this now, so I'm unassigning myself. A pull request would certainly be welcome.

My apologies, I neglected to include the full path to freetype-config when I opened the post so I have expanded here. And three important additional notes: 1. [custom directory] is NOT /usr in my environment, it is very different 2. My build scripts as I have them have worked fine up to and including the last build I did at PHP 7.1.8 3. This build is the first time I have come across the requirement to include the --enable-freetype-config configure switch in the freetype build Now back to the issue; If one runs: [custom directory]/bin/freetype-config --cflags The output is: -I/usr/include/freetype2 ...which is not what I would expect. However, if one runs: [custom directory]/bin/freetype-config --prefix=[custom directory] --cflags then the output is: -I[custom directory]/include/freetype2 ...which is what I expect and what I need. Looking at the man page https://www.mankier.com/1/freetype-config it says: --cflags Return compiler flags for compiling against the installed FreeType library. In my case, the "installed" FreeType - ie. that which is active as part of the OS is /usr/include so freetype-config is possibly behaving as expected returning /usr/include - however it is certainly not what I expect when including --with-freetype-dir ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-05-08 10:44:11] cmb@php.net FTR: this bug is not related to <https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73592>. > executes the statement FREETYPE2_CFLAGS=freetype-config > --cflags Hmm, that is not supposed to happen. Looking at the code[1] is should rather be: [custom directory]/bin/freetype-config --cflags Wouldn't that give the appropriate flags?
