I must be totally dense, but after trying a number of things,
searching the mailing lists, searching google, reading the freebsd
ports doc, searching the php web - I still can not get php4 to
build with gdlib support using the ports collection.
We already had a working mod_php4 built and installed, and just
want to add gdlib support. None of the following (as well as
other incantations) work in either the www/mod_php4 port nor the
lang/php4 port:
make deinstall; make reinstall
make deinstall; make clean; make install
make deinstall; make WITH_GD=YES reinstall
make deinstall; make clean; make WITH_GD=YES install
Can someone please give me a clue? I thought I remembered that
there was a text gui asking what options we want, but it doesn't
appear anymore.
Have you looked in the ports collection of lang/php4-extensions?
Bingo! This seems to be the correct answer!
cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions
make WITH_GD=yes WITH_GETTEXT=yes install
does the trick! Or one can leave off the WITH_* vars and select them
in the text gui.
Life would be so much easier if the php4 make and pkg-descr would
mention where to look for extentions. How is someone supposed to
know this exists (without monitoring all freebsd mailing lists)?

Look at the Makefile and the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable. I don't know the
option for php, but something like --enable-gd might help.
Didn't know you could set configure args at the top level make.
Good to know!

There seems to be a big gap between simply installing a port with
its defaults and finding out what other options might be available
via the WITH_* and WITHOUT_* options. Isn't this documented with
each port somewhere?
There are used in the Makefile, so you can allways look there.
This is part of what was confusing me. There were lots of mailing
list references to using WITH_GD, but I couldn't find it in the
Makefile. Sometimes these are hiding in an included makefile
somewhere outside of the port itself.
But now I know it was moved to lang/php4-extentions sometime since
we originally built php4!

You can set this not to appear by setting BATCH in /etc/make.conf. If
you rename /etc/make.conf for builing mod_php, then you'll have you're
text ui. (g stands for graphical)
The string batch isn't in our make.conf. The gui was hiding in the
lang/php4-extentions port.
Yes g stands for graphical, which is why it is a text gui. The
curses based line drawing and shading is a text based form of
graphics. Graphics does not imply bitmapped. Draw a box with a
pencil and you have graphics. :)
