Business requirements to use the Imagefttext function, found that the GD library was initially installed without adding FreeType. This article is mainly for you to share a PHP GD library to add FreeType expansion of the method, with a good reference value, I hope to be helpful to everyone. Follow the small series together to see it, hope to help everyone.

Linux version CentOS 6.6

installation process (because the server is a distributed intranet server and cannot be installed with Yum, the following are compiled installations after downloading the resource bundle):

Installing FreeType

Decompression freetype-2.3.9.tar.gz

Compiling the installation

./configure--enable-static--enable-shared (no prefix specified,. h files are installed by default to/usr/local/include,. a|. So files are installed by default to the installation of additional resource packs within/usr/local/lib If no directory is specified also to this location)

Make && make install

Verify that the FreeType installation is successful, recompile the installation of the GD library, add freetype support

Install GD Library, version 2.0.35

Since there is a previous installation record, it is recommended that clean be made, otherwise it may cause the installation to fail

./configure--enable-shared--with-jpeg=/usr/local/include/--with-freetype=/usr/local/--with-png=/usr/local/ include/(note here is that the--with-freetype=/usr/local/path begins with/usr/local/lib, the result has been introduced FreeType failure, estimated because the header file is not within this directory, Introduced successfully after changing to the top level directory)

Confirm support for Freetype 2.x Library:yes

Make && make install

Verify that the installation is successful recompile the installation of the GD extension PHP

PHP version 5.5.38

Installing GD expansion module separately requires CD to PHP-5.5.38/EXT/GD

Execute phpize Build the compiled file, if the system does not introduce phpize, this file in the PHP installation directory in the bin

Be sure to do clean here first, this time installed 8 servers, did not first do clean 100% did not install successfully, are not added to FreeType support

./configure--with-php-config=/opt/php5.5.38/bin/php-config--with-jpeg-dir--with-png-dir--with-freetype-dir-- With-zlib-dir--WITH-GD

Confirm that FreeType 2 has been added in the compilation

Make && make install

Verify that the newly generated. So file is the same as the path introduced by php.ini, if you need to modify the extension in php.ini

Restart PHP-FPM after successful installation

PS Axu |grep php |grep-v ' grep ' |awk ' {print $} ' |xargs kill-9

/php5.5.38/sbin/php-fpm

After a successful reboot, see if GD in Phpinfo contains
