Re: [PHP4BETA] GD support

I've hacked the PHP GD support so that it can detect which version of the GD library is installed up to 1.6.3 (that's the version I'm using, and I didn't know there was a version 1.7). I'm relatively new to m4 macros and automake, but when I run configure I see it testing for the various versions of the GD library and it correctly recognizes mine. I'm willing to contribute this to the PHP effort, but someone more knowledgeable with automake should probably double check my stuff. - Tim Taylor Alain Penders wrote: > On Mon, Oct 04, 1999 at 10:39:50PM +0200, Sascha Schumann wrote: > > Do we support all 2^345 different versions of gd now?
