No matter what I do, I CANNOT get gd to compile with truetype support. I've got Free Type 2 installed just fine. gd compiles just fine and links with free type..but when I compile PHP with gd it says gd dosan't support true type fonts..

I'm at a loss... anyone have any idea's/suggestions?

(The gd website is far less then helpfull...)

System:
Debian Linux
Free Type 2.0.5
GD 1.8.4
PHP 4.0.6
Apache 1.3.20

Thanks

    Would this work for a linux? Like raq 3, for freetype?

    I can't find an answer, even with freetype mailing list:

    freetype-2.0.5.tar.gz (use gmake method)
    make setup
    make
    make install

    I heard I also need to rename folder to freetype2

    so I rename, go there, then
    make setup
    make
    make install?

    Would you think that would work?

    I need to install THIS before
    I can install gd and php
    pathetic lol

    thanks

      Is it that hard?

      not one place can give a straight answer

      just a standard
      make/make install would work?

      ?
