So apparently php5 out of the Leopard box does not have GD or freetype support turned on. Tried a quickie rebuild of the gd.so dynamic loadlib for preinstalled PHP, but got all sorts of undefined errors when invoked.
So Mike says, get fink and install fresh packages. Well, fink for 10.5 didn’t exist a few days ago. PHP5 is in the "unstable" brach of distributions, building libraries from fink didn’t always look back to see what other libraries were already installed (e.g., fink install pnglib2 followed by fink install gd2 , gd2 continued to look for pnglib in /usr/X11 ).
So I went back to good old install from source into /usr/local. configured, maked, and installed libjpge-6, libpng, libfreetype, libgd. Then looked at the phpinfo for sample config for php. Saw something like this
/SourceCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-44/php/configure’ ‘–prefix=/usr’ ‘–mandir=/usr/share/man’ ‘–infodir=/usr/share/info’ ‘–disable-dependency-tracking’ ‘–with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs’ ‘–with-ldap=/usr’ ‘–with-kerberos=/usr’ ‘–enable-cli’ ‘–with-zlib-dir=/usr’ ‘–enable-trans-sid’ ‘–with-xml’ ‘–enable-exif’ ‘–enable-ftp’ ‘–enable-mbstring’ ‘–enable-mbregex’ ‘–enable-dbx’ ‘–enable-sockets’ ‘–with-iodbc=/usr’ ‘–with-curl=/usr’ ‘–with-config-file-path=/etc’ ‘–sysconfdir=/private/etc’ ‘–with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql’ ‘–with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config’ ‘–with-mysql=/usr’ ‘–with-openssl’ ‘–with-xmlrpc’ ‘–with-xsl=/usr’ ‘–without-pear’
Wanted to be sure we had all the right compiler flags for universal builds. See http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2137.html so we add
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load"
and I want to enable built-in true type font support, so I add –enable-gd-native-ttf
yielding
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" ./configure –prefix=/usr –mandir=/usr/share/man –infodir=/usr/share/info –disable-dependency-tracking –with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs –with-ldap=/usr –with-kerberos=/usr –enable-cli –with-zlib-dir=/usr –enable-trans-sid –with-xml –enable-exif –enable-ftp –enable-mbstring –enable-mbregex –enable-dbx –enable-sockets –enable-gd-native-ttf –with-iodbc=/usr –with-curl=/usr –with-config-file-path=/etc –sysconfdir=/private/etc –with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql –with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config –with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql –with-openssl –with-xmlrpc –with-xsl=/usr –without-pear
But when it became time to compile, it failed, because the libmysql installed from the Package didn’t include the right architectures. (just i386).
Tried again, reducing choices down to just i386. Resultant php5.so now fails when apache loads it, again a bad architectures problem
So, now we download mysql source and recompile (with all the flags), and the try php build again.
This time it almost worked, but no php was looking for libmysql in /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql , thanks to an errant –prefix= somwehere. Rather than fix it right, I just made an alias. PHP and APACHE started!
But the graphs and such still fail.
Turns out, I missed these two important points
- Using modified php.ini file that forced load og a gd.so built (incorrectly) days ago, and so newly compiled GD support was ignored
- Didn’t actually have built-in GD support turned on anyway. Need to specify –with-gd , And with-jpeg-dir=/usr/locak and with-freetype-dir=/usr local
So, final config for php is
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-dependency-tracking --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-ldap=/usr --with-kerberos=/usr --enable-cli --with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-trans-sid --with-xml --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --enable-dbx --enable-sockets --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-iodbc=/usr --with-curl=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --sysconfdir=/private/etc --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-openssl --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl=/usr --without-pear --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local
And by golly, it all works!
