[mapserver-users] How to compile mapserv with FreeType support ? HELP !!!!!!!!!

[Stéphane Bricard]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to compile mapserv (3.5 nightly build) with FreeType support.
Freetype 2.04 is installed, GD1.3 also (I was previously using it with PHP
4.05).

- Here are my compile options :

php-4.0.6 :
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-gd=../gd1.3 -
-without-ttf --enable-track-vars --enable-dbase --with-system-regex

apache_1.3.20:
./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

mapserver
./configure --with-php=../php-4.0.6 --with-gd=../gd1.3 --with-freetype=/usr/
local/bin/freetype-config

- Here is the output of mapserv configure :

--------------------------------------
I don't get any error while comiling mapserv BUT the only result I get when
I try to use a TrueType related keyword in my mapfile (i.e FONT) is that :
Warning: MapServer Error in loadlabel(): Keyword FONT is not valid without
TrueType font support

ms_GetVersion() returns this : MapServer version 3.5 (pre-alpha) OUTPUT=GIF
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

All of this is running on a Suse 6.4 box running pretty smoothly Apache and
PHP for the last 2 years.

Thanks in advance for any insight from any of you out there !
