For all who use php 7 and ubuntu
sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd
설치
To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR] , where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library, use the configure option --with-gd . GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile.
In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll as an extension in php.ini.
Enhance the capabilities of GD to handle more image formats by specifying the --with-XXXX configure switch to your PHP configure line.
| Image Format | Configure Switch |
|---|---|
| jpeg | To enable support for jpeg add --with-jpeg-dir=DIR . Jpeg 6b, 7 or 8 are supported. |
| png | To enable support for png add --with-png-dir=DIR . Note, libpng requires the zlib library, therefore add --with-zlib-dir[=DIR] to your configure line. |
| xpm | To enable support for xpm add --with-xpm-dir=DIR . If configure is not able to find the required libraries, you may add the path to your X11 libraries. |
| webp | To enable support for webp add --with-vpx-dir=DIR . Available as of PHP 5.5. As of PHP 7.0.0 --with-webp-dir=DIR has to be added, i.e. support for libvpx has been removed in favor of libwebp. |
Note: When compiling PHP with libpng, you must use the same version that was linked with the GD library.
Enhance the capabilities of GD to deal with different fonts by specifying the --with-XXXX configure switch to your PHP configure line.
| Font library | Configure Switch |
|---|---|
| FreeType 2 | To enable support for FreeType 2 add --with-freetype-dir=DIR . |
| T1lib | To enable support for T1lib (Postscript Type 1 fonts) add --with-t1lib[=DIR] (Removed as of PHP 7.0.0). |
| Native TrueType string function | To enable support for native TrueType string function add --enable-gd-native-ttf . (Effectless as of PHP 5.5.0; removed as of PHP 7.2.0.) |

People having difficulties setting the --with-libdir option needs to set it like this :
--with-libdir=lib64
That option works fine. Doing --with-libdir=/usr/lib64 doesn't work because the configure script prepends the --prefix option before the --with-libdir option. So, doing --with-libdir=/usr/lib64 makes the configure script to look for libs in /usr/usr/lib64, which is wrong of course, and not in /usr/lib64.

On Ubuntu I was missing the libpng-dev, libjpeg-dev (and in my case) libwebp-dev libraries, all gettable with apt-get.
Also once those libraries are installed, including --with-png-dir --with-jpeg-dir --with-webp-dir, without any values (i.e. =/dir) appeared to be valid ... though admittedly I didn't try without (in case the configure script autodetected them).

If you are using PHPBREW , the extension is called gd.
So you do.
```
phpbrew ext install gd
```
It will compile the extension to the core.

If you have already compiled PHP and want to recompile '--with-gd', don't forget to run 'make clean' first!

Hello. Does GD image processing allow for color spaces / color profiles to be defined or maintained from the source image? For example, if I upload a jpg with ProPhoto RGB color space with the embedded profile, will all of the subsequent processed images that are output maintain the profile? Or is there no profile and or is it changed to sRGB?
Same question goes for ImageMagick.
Thank you so much!
