I wrestled with this for about an hour before I looked at WHY the heck the

DECOMPRESS a GIF (i.e., Make a PNG *from* a gif, which the FreeBSD
installer and some packages like rpms are known to do, I noticed this
because the makefile was having a hell of a time downloading a wierd file
called gd_gif_in.c.bz2), then the stupid configure script says "Hey, you
must have full gif support".
The solution? I tried even pointing the thing at the gd BUILD directory
in my ports tree, same problem. Here's the secret solution.
Edit the configure script, search for the line:
#define HAVE_GD_GIF 1
change it to
#undef HAVE_GD_GF
Do the same with HAVE_GD_GIF_CTX
Essentially you're crippling the already crippled gif support, which MIGHT
make it useless for thumbnailing gifs and displaying png thumbnails, which
is a quite valid use (ImageMagick!), but apparently
php/gd either fully supports an image type (or dies trying) or doesn't at
all.
Configure as usual. Worked for me.
NOW...Someone wanna write the configure script better so this isn't such
a problem? Hint:the FreeBSD ports tree should not choke just because a
user checks the box that says "gd".
