VB: [PHP4BETA] Autoconf or me? Looking for gif support

Rasmus, can you please tell if one has to have libpng.a available to build PHP with GD-support, even if one only wants to use gifs? GD-version is 1.5, and PHP is CVS-2000-01-03 config.log shows that gif-support isn't included since ld tries to use -lpng when looking for gdImageCreateFromGif. Best regards, /Johan Ekenberg From config.log (configure --with-gd): configure:9285: checking for gdImageCreateFromGif in -lgd configure:9304: gcc -o conftest -ggdb3 -I../openssl-0.9.4/include conftest.c -lgd -lgd -lm -lpng -lz 1>&5 /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lpng: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: #line 9293 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" char gdImageCreateFromGif(); int main() { gdImageCreateFromGif() ; return 0; } > > Look at config.log, search for the message (checking for..) > > and post the error message from the link editor.

Depends on the gd version. Rasmus worked on the gd checks short time ago, he can probably answer your questions. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
