| Subject: | undefined symbol: gdImageStringFT |
Hi,
I have just tried to install GD-1.4.0 on a Linux machine
"SuSE Linux 7.1 (i386) - Kernel 2.4.18 (5)". I have applied the patch patch_gd.pl and then compiled and installed libgd 1.8.4. The created libgd.so looks OK:
linux:/usr/local/lib > ldd libgd.so.4.0.0
libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4003d000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40068000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40077000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40095000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
When installing GD-1.4.0 with the CPAN-module I answer all questions with 'n'. With the first test I get following error:
Running make test

gdImageStringFT is not in libgd.so as I had built the library without FreeType support.
linux:/usr/local/lib > nm libgd.so.4.0.0 | grep gdImageString
000041e0 T gdImageString
00004320 T gdImageString16
00009120 T gdImageStringTTF
00004280 T gdImageStringUp
00004390 T gdImageStringUp16
I assume the GD.so has support for FreeType, even though I had said, that there is no FreeType support.
I tried GD-1.39 and everything works fine there.
