安装

要激活 GD 支持,配置 PHP 时加上 --with-gd[=DIR],DIR 是 GD 的基本安装目录。要使用推荐的绑定的 GD 库版本,使用 --with-gd。要编译 GD 库,需要libpnglibjpeg。 自 PHP 7.4.0 起,--with-gd 变为 --enable-gd (是否启用扩展) 和 --with-external-gd (选择使用外部 libgd,而不是绑定的)。

在 Windows 中,需要将 GD 的 DLL 文件 php_gd.dll 作为一个扩展包含在 php.ini 中。 在 PHP 8.0.0 之前,DLL 被命名为 php_gd2.dll

要增强 GD 的能力以处理更多的图像格式,在配置 PHP 时指定 --with-XXXX 的配置开关。

所支持的图像格式
图像格式 配置开关
avif 要激活 avif 的支持,加上 --with-avif。 从 PHP 8.1.0 起可用。
jpeg 要激活 jpeg 的支持,加上 --with-jpeg-dir=DIR。 支持 Jpeg 6b、7 或 8。 从 PHP 7.4.0 开始,使用 --with-jpeg 替代。
png 要激活 png 的支持,加上 --with-png-dir=DIR。注意,libpng 需要 zlib library,因此配置中还要加上 --with-zlib-dir[=DIR]。 从 PHP 7.4.0 开始,--with-png-dir--with-zlib-dir 已经移除。 需要安装 libpngzlib
xpm 要激活 xpm 的支持,加上 --with-xpm-dir=DIR。 如果配置时提示找不到所需要的库,可以加上 X11 库的路径。 从 PHP 7.4.0 开始,使用 --with-xpm 替代。
webp 要激活 xpm 的支持,加上 --with-webp-dir=DIR。 从 PHP 7.4.0 开始,使用 --with-webp 替代。

注意: 当把 PHP 和 libpng 一起编译时,必须使用和 GD 库连接的同一个版本。

要增强 GD 的能力以处理更多的字体,在配置 PHP 时指定 --with-XXXX 的配置开关。

所支持的字库
字库 配置开关
FreeType 2 要激活 FreeType 2 的支持,加上 --with-freetype-dir=DIR。 从 PHP 7.4.0 开始使用 --with-freetype 代替,它依赖于 pkg-config
本地 TrueType 字符串函数 要激活本地 TrueType 字符串函数的支持,加上 --enable-gd-native-ttf。 (此选项无效,自 PHP 7.2.0 起已被删除。)

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!

and when that completed I just restarted apache. voila!

As of PHP 7.4, to enable GD you have to use --enable-gd instead of --with-gd

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!
