Issue
While compiling PHP from source on CentOS server, we get the error below:
checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... yes
checking for png_write_image in -lpng... yes
If configure fails try --with-xpm-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: freetype-config not found.The root of the problem is we’ve enabled this option –with-freetype-dir.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php7 \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php7/etc \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php7/etc/conf.d \
--enable-bcmath \
...
--with-freetype-dir \
--with-jpeg-dirSolution
In this, we have to install the dependencies packages as follows:
sudo yum -y install freetype*# yum list installed | grep freetype
freetype.x86_64 2.8-14.el7_9.1 @updates
freetype-demos.x86_64 2.8-14.el7_9.1 @updates
freetype-devel.x86_64 2.8-14.el7_9.1 @updatesAnd then try to re-compile PHP from source and it should be able to compile this time.
