My Freetype libs are located in /usr/local/lib, check your system and see where it is (ex: /usr/lib).
Open the 'build' file in the DA scripts directory and search for doGD
In the configure line, change
--without-freetype
to
--with-freetype=/usr/local/lib
Open up 'configure.php' in the DA scripts directory and add
--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \
Make sure to include the trailing \. Note my directory where my Freetype libs are, change yours accordingly if needed.
./build clean
./build php
Answer 'y' when asked if you want to compile GD again.
Then restart HTTPD. Open up a phpinfo file and you'll see Freetype support listed now.
