Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #4569 Updated: configure fails to correctlyidentify GD 1.8.x functions available

DR>> Same for me here. Just compile GD for yourself (from the source rpm). I DR>> think I had to staticalling link libpng with it, but I aren't sure.... DR>> but I DR>> think configure must take care of this... Yes, I know. But I think it should be fixed, because it's really bad when we have such advanced configuration system and at the end I end up recompiling external libraries and installing additional copies just because it doesn't know to include right libs. The cause for this problem is that somehow configure first checks for some functions in GD and only then uses png and all rest of libraries. But you need PNG to check these libraries from the start! And the worst thing that I see no way to tell it to use these libraries (short of hand-patching configure file, which seems to be not exactly the right thing to do). Sacha (or anybody other knowing about how autoconf works), could you please look at it? -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
