Instalação

Para ativar suporte ao GD, configure o PHP com --with-gd[=DIR], aonde DIR é o diretório de instalação. Para usar a versão recomendada da biblioteca GD que acompanha o PHP, use a opção de configuração --with-gd. Biblioteca GD requer libpng e libjpeg para compilar. Desde o PHP 7.4.0, --with-gd se torna --enable-gd (para simplesmente abilitar a extensão) e --with-external-gd (para selecionar uma instalação libgd externa, diferente da que acompanha o PHP).

No Windows, você irá incluir a DLL do GD php_gd.dll como uma extensão no php.ini. Antes do PHP 8.0.0 a DLL se chamava php_gd2.dll.

Melhore as capacidades do GD para manipular mais formatos de imagens especificando a opção --with-XXXX na sua linha de configuração do PHP.

Formatos de imagens suportados
Formato de Imagem Opção de Configuração
avif Para habilitar suporte a avif aicione --with-avif. Disponível a partir do PHP 8.1.0.
jpeg Para ativar suporte a jpeg adicione --with-jpeg-dir=DIR. Jpeg 6b, 7 ou 8 são suportados. A partir do PHP 7.4.0, use --with-jpeg.
png Para ativar suporte para png adicione --with-png-dir=DIR. Note que, libpng precisa de zlib library, portanto adicione a opção --with-zlib-dir[=DIR] na sua linha de configuração. A partir do PHP 7.4.0, --with-png-dir e --with-zlib-dir foram removidas. libpng e zlib são necessárias.
xpm Para ativar suporte a xpm adicione --with-xpm-dir=DIR. Se o configure não for capaz de encontrar as bibliotecas necessárias, você deverá adicionar o caminho até as suas bibliotecas X11. A partir do PHP 7.4.0, use --with-xpm.
webp Para habilitar suporte a webp, adicione --with-webp-dir=DIR. A partir do PHP 7.4.0, use --with-webp.

Nota: Ao compilar o PHP com a libpng, você deve usar a mesma versão que foi ligada com a biblioteca GD.

Melhore as capacidades do GD para lidar com fontes diferentes especificando a opção de configuração --with-XXXX na linha de configuração do PHP.

Bibliotecas de Fontes Suportadas
Biblioteca de Fonte Opção de Configuração
FreeType 2 Para ativar suporte a FreeType 2 adicione --with-freetype-dir=DIR. A partir do PHP 7.4.0, use --with-freetype, que usa pkg-config.
Native TrueType string function Para ativar suporte a native TrueType string function adicione --enable-gd-native-ttf. (Essa opção não tem efeito e foi removida no 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).

Note if you have php-fpm installed, you have to restart the service for the installation to show up in phpinfo output...

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!
