#21474 [Opn]: Bundled GD needs documenting

ID: 21474 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: Documentation inaccurate Reported By: jon@jellybob.co.uk Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: To whoever updates the GD config docs, please do not use the term "built-in" as it is not built-in but rather a php version of GD is bundled. Windows has and still includes the GD dll's in the download. Information should include what version of GD is bundled, what differences occur from the boutell version for that given version, and that it is <emphasis>strongly</emphasis> suggested to use the bundled version. Simply --with-gd or --enable-gd will use the bundled version. I'm not sure the best way to describe that --with-gd does not look for a local copy of GD on the system in {PREFIX} like most options do and like --with-gd used to do before PHP 4.3.0. Anyway, this is a tricky one so please do some research before committing :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-06 17:24:50] jon@jellybob.co.uk The online documentation for the configure options doesn't list GD as being built in now, I havn't checked the other options, but I think the they need updating for 4.3.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21474&edit=1
