RE: [PHP] configuring with gd for TTF

Ok. Well, given mine works, I thought I would tell you what I have! My phpinfo says exactly the same: GD Support enabled GD Version 1.6.2 or higher FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with TTF library JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled My configure options were: ./configure --with-gd=/usr/local/src/gd-1.8.4/

      --enable-gd-imgstrttf
      --with-ttf=/usr/local/freetype/
      --enable-calendar
      --disable-short-tags
      --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/
      --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/src/jpeg-6b/
      --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

gd-1.8.4 is actually compiled ( theoretically ) with freetype2.x support, though that shouldn't be making any difference, I would have thought. Freetype is 1.3. Also, whenever I configured and then compiled I always deleted config.cache and ran "make clean" first. Hope this helps. Brian At 09:36 3/07/2001 +0200, Ray Hilton wrote:

Nope, not a sausage, I tried it with and without gd's ttf, specifiying to compile in freetype 1.x, or freetype 2, and numerous other combinations... Its doing my nut in!! I think the lib thing your talking about is just a matter of sticking the path in /etc/ld.so.conf and then running ldconfig... I just recompiled php, and according to php info: GD Support enabled GD Version 1.6.2 or higher FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype T1Lib Support enabled JPG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled Which is exactly the same as it was 10 compiles ago... And yet I still get: Warning: libgd was not built with TrueType font support in /home/ray/webroot/rayh/htdocs/gfx/image.php on line 48 Every single time...

However I was able to successfully compile freetype 1.3 directly into PHP which seems to work fine. IE:

    forget trying to use:
              --enable-gd-native-ttf

    instead:
              --with-ttf=/usr/local/freetype/

    which assumes you have freetype 1.3 installed to

/usr/local/freetype BTW - I have my own question. To restart apache at the moment I have to set and export:

     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/freetype/lib/

Anyone know what I need to do to get this recognised by Apache internally.

I have compiled from scratch gd 1.8 with ttf support by way of freetype 2, this compiles fine. Then I compile php using the configure statement below and all I get when I try and call a TTF function is: Warning: libgd was not built with TrueType font support in /home/ray/webroot/rayh/htdocs/gfx/image.php on line 48 Etc etc... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Am I right in thinking that you can either use gd's native ttf support or compile freetype into php seperatley? ./configure --with-xml --with-dom --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-sablot --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-zlib --with-ttf=no --with-gd --enable-shared-pdflib --with-imap --with-t1lib=/usr/local/lib/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib/ --enable-gd-native-tt Cheers, Ray Hilton - me@rayh.co.uk http://rayh.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net ------------------------- Brian White Step Two Designs Pty Ltd - SGML, XML & HTML Consultancy Phone: +612-93197901 Web: http://www.steptwo.com.au/ Email: bwhite@steptwo.com.au -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
