Configuring a Unix Apache 1.3.x DSO php install for use with jpgraph (with gd, libpng, t1lib, freetype, and jpeg support in php)

Gather all of the needed resources:

zlib from http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
jpeg6b from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
libpng from http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
t1lib from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/graphics/
freetype2 from http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html
GD from http://www.boutell.com/gd/

Install zlib:

tar xzf zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local
mv zlib-1.1.4 zlib
cd zlib
./configure --shared
make
make install

install jpeg6b:

tar xzf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local/jpeg-6b
./configure --enable-shared
make
make install

install libpng:

tar xzf libpng-1.2.3.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local
mv libpng-1.2.3 libpng
cd libpng
cp scripts/makefile.linux makefile
make
make install

install t1lib:

tar xzf t1lib-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd /usr/local
mv t1lib-1.3.1 t1lib
cd t1lib
# shared object is default build
./configure
make
make install

install freetype:

tar xzf freetype-2.0.8.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local
mv freetype-2.0.8 freetype2
#requires GNU make
gmake setup
gmake
gmake install

install gd:

tar xzf gd-2.0.1.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local
mv gd-2.0.1 gd
cd gd
vi makefile
#change location of freetype2 lheaders to /usr/local/include/freetype2
#change install libs to /usr/local/lib
#save
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
#download and install the Trueimage/freetype patch to gd-2.0.1 from:
# http://www.coupin.net/gd-freetype/
make install

Finally, configure and build php:

rm config.cache
make clean
./configure \
--with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/jpeg-6b \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--with-ttf \
--with-t1lib \
--with-pdflib=/usr/local \
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--enable-sockets \
--with-zlib \
--with-exif \
make
apachectl stop
make install
apachectl start
