For years I had been building PHP and thought I was including GD. Well, I was using a flag that I thought worked, and got no errors. but GD was not actually being loaded in php…from my understanding. The following is required:

sudo apt install libwebp-dev

and use the following:

./buildconf --force
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64
./configure  \
--libdir=/lib64 \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--prefix=/usr/local/php8 \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-debug \
--with-zip \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-pcntl \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-exif \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-sysvmsg \
--enable-sysvsem \
--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-debug \
--enable-intl \
--enable-soap \
--enable-intl \
--with-curl=/usr/include/curl \
--with-iconv \
--with-gmp \
--with-pspell \
--enable-gd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/share/mysqlnd \
--with-mysql-sock \
--with-jpeg \
--with-webp \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-xpm \
--with-freetype \
--enable-gd-jis-conv \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr \
--with-gettext=/usr \
--with-zlib=/usr \
--with-bz2=/usr

Add ImageMagick

sudo apt update && sudo apt install libmagickwand-dev imagemagick


cd /usr/local/src

sudo git clone https://github.com/Imagick/imagick.git
cd imagick
sudo /usr/local/php8/bin/phpize
sudo ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php8/bin/php-config
sudo make
sudo make install

And, the top of /usr/local/lib/php.ini now contains this:

[PHP]
zend_extension=/opt/php-8.0.14/modules/opcache.so
extension=imagick.so

Ubuntu Issues

PCRE not found…

   wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/8.45/pcre-8.45.tar.gz
   tar xzf pcre-8.45.tar.gz
   cd pcre-8.45
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
   make && sudo make install

AI said to do the following and I don’t even think I did:

./configure –with-pcre=/usr/local/bin/pcre-config [your other flags]

Ubuntu, PopOS, and possibly other distros – PHP/OPENSSL issue

On anything but Mint my PHP script(s) often fail not being able to find openssl. Amend those with the following snippet:

export OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include"
export OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto"
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib"
./buildconf --force
 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64
 ./configure  \
