Hello everyone: I am suffering from a crasher recently introduced in FreeType (or so it seems). After a wild goose chase from Apache to PHP to GD2 to FreeType, it boils down to a crash because Apache2 uses fork() without a corresponding exec() and, upon calling PHP/GD/FreeType, the Carbon call in FreeType causes Apache2 to crash. This is what is explained here:
http://90kts.com/blog/2008/installing-gd-libraries-for-leopard-apache-php-525/#comment-126 The next comment in the above link explains that FreeType should be recompiled with a couple of options off: with-quickdraw-carbon and with-quickdraw-toolbox My question is: how do I do this in MacPort? I tried to change the portfile like this: configure.args \ --with-old-mac-fonts \ --with-fsspec=no --with-fsref=no --with-quickdraw-toolbox=no --with-quickdraw-carbon=no But it does not seem to make any difference. Heck, I am not even sure that these options carry through down to the compiler. Sorry, I am such a MacPort newbee... Any advise on what I should do? Should I also rebuild gd2 and php5 after that? Thanks in advance for your insights, Yann PS: I am using Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a PowerPC G4 PowerBook machine, and updated to the latest MacPorts builds. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
