Here's an answer to a different question: how to build GD.pm without JPEG support. There are two options, actually. 1) if you want GIF support (and not PNG support), you must download version 1.19 of GD.pm and install it. Later versions won't work. The installation should go smoothly, with nothing special needing to be done for Darwin. 2) if you want PNG support (and not GIF support), it takes several steps: a) Download 'libpng' version 1.0.11 (or later, I suppose) from http://www.libpng.org/pub/png and install it according to the instructions provided. It will involve these steps: % cp scripts/makefile.macosx makefile % make % sudo make install b) Download 'libgd' from http://www.freesoftware.com/pub/png/src/libpng-1.0.11.tar.gz and apply the following patch to the file 'Makefile' (probably easiest to just do this by hand-editing): ============================================================== --- gd-orig/gd-1.8.4/Makefile Thu Feb 22 11:03:43 2001 +++ gd-1.8.4/Makefile Thu Jun 7 14:12:58 2001 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ #If you do not have gcc, change the setting for COMPILER, but you must #use an ANSI standard C compiler (NOT the old SunOS 4.1.3 cc #compiler; get gcc if you are still using it). -COMPILER=gcc +COMPILER=cc #If the ar command fails on your system, consult the ar manpage #for your system. @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ #If you don't have FreeType, libjpeg and/or Xpm installed, including the #header files, uncomment this (default).

So I just left 'libgd.a' and 'gd.h' in the build directory. c) Download GD-1.33 (or later) from CPAN. If you didn't do 'make install' in the previous step, edit 'Makefile.PL' by adjusting @INC and @LIBPATH to point to wherever 'libgd.a' and 'gd.h' are. For instance, my modifications look like this (a hand-built patch): -my @INC = qw(-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/gd); -my @LIBPATH = qw(-L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/local/lib ); +my @INC = qw(-I/usr/local/include -I/Users/ken/Downloads/gd-1.8.4); +my @LIBPATH = qw(-L/usr/local/lib -L/Users/ken/Downloads/gd-1.8.4); Then do the standard steps: % perl Makefile.PL % make test % make install Works for me, anyway. I hope that having this is a suitable answer to some of the many GD questions that have been flying around the list. ------------------- ------------------- Ken Williams Last Bastion of Euclidity [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Math Forum
