PHP compilation through web interface not useful?

[Lucas]

I've been trying to get gd with freetype support by adding --with-ttf or --with-freetype and I can't still get it to work through the interface. How would I do with this? Do I actually need to recompile php from source?

Regards

Install all GD libs/deps first:

yum -y install libpng-devel libpng10 libpng10-devel libjpeg-devel gd gd-devel ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick-perl

for FC/CentOS

Add following to the PHP configuration string:

'--with-pic' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png'

Compile your PHP.
