[PHP-INSTALL] Problems getting GD 2.0.17+ to work with PHP 4.3.5-RC1

[Josh Endries]

We're trying to get GD 2.0.17 (and/or the latest, 2.0.20) to work with 
PHP 4.3.5 (I don't think previous has the new GD hooks) to use some of 
the new functions, on FreeBSD 4.9. GD seems to compile fine, though I 
had to disable freetype or it gave me pthread errors.

This is the configure line we're using for PHP and output relating to 
GD. As you can see at the bottom, it doesn't find any functions within 
the GD library, which is installed in /usr/local/* and compiled just 
fine (--without-freetype, and no Xpm).

grub# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs 
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib 
--with-iconv=/usr/local --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local

configure: error: GD build test failed. Please check the config.log for 
details.

Here is the config.log. It says something about iconv, which is probably 
the problem, but I really dunno where the problem exists: GD, PHP, 
libiconv. To me it looks like there is a problem with GD's usage of 
iconv. I installed the iconv port just fine.

grub# cat config.log
int main() {
gdFontCacheShutdown()
; return 0; }
configure:36222: gcc -c -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include conftest.c 1>&5

/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */

    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char gdImageCreate();

Any ideas? Has anyone gotten the new GD functions (sharpen, negate, 
etc.) to work on FreeBSD?

Thankya,
