GD + True Type Fonts = Pain!

[Anon]

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

Hi James,
I have similar specs, but Apache 1.3.22 and on FreeBSD ... exact commands I used:

YMMV

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?

?
