Here's how to compile just the GD extension and add it to PHP without recompiling the whole of PHP and breaking the unique folder layout &c. of the Apple install

cd "`dirname "$0"`"

mkdir -p libjpg
cd libjpg

tar xzpf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz

uncomment the 32-bit lines, and comment in the 64-bit lines if you're compiling on a Core !2 Duo / G4Edited 2008-07-07 19:47 UTC Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:43:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Kroc) Comments RE: Leopard & GD http://www.osnews.com/thread?321792 http://www.osnews.com/thread?321792 http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/gd2/Portfile

A very useful script that I've come across, just in case anyone is looking for something similar:

- Multifunction Image Handler PHP Script
http://www.carmosaic.com/weather/scripts-image-handler.php

I haven't used more than a fraction of its functionality, but so far it's been quite handy for doing server-side creation of banner images from templates, and non-destructively watermarking photos.

Both open source projects not run by Apple. These are also both not front-facing user options advertised on the box.

Having to run a ridiculously complex script to fix an issue is a staple of most open source projects. Blaming Apple is aiming in the wrong place.

Blaming Apple is aiming in the wrong place.


Apple is responsible for the configuration of the versions of PHP/Apache that Apple chose to include in Apple's OS (note the pattern).

Relevance? Correlation is not cause.

These are also both not front-facing user options advertised on the box.


...which says to me that Apple's commitment to "user experience" is largely perfunctory, since it evidently doesn't extend to the more advanced / less "sexy" parts of the OS. Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (StephenBeDoper) Comments
