[Q] Installing GD

I am having trouble installing the GD perl module. Using MCPAN, won't
work, so I am attempting to do it manually, but iconv is causing me
problems. Any help in getting this module installed would be
appreciated.

If it matters, I am running MacOSX 10.4.x and have used DarwinPorts
(now MacPorts) to install various things like iconv and gd2.

Thank you.


When I do:


======
> perl Makefile.PL
------

I get this output:

======
NOTICE: This module requires libgd 2.0.28 or higher.

If you are using Math::Trig 1.01 or lower, it has a bug that
causes a "prerequisite not found" warning to be issued. You
may
safely ignore this warning.

Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary

So, already, it is complaining about iconv.

I can do a 'make' and it will build without any problems.
However, a 'make test' fails with the following output:

Try this:

perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/opt/local/lib -liconv'

Thanks. This suggestion succeeded in getting perl Makefile.PL to work
without any reported problems. 'make'ing still succeeds, however, 'make
test' is still failing.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Re: Installing GD

I thought the problem might be that I was telling perl to build the GD
module with support for things that the gd library was not built
with...however, this still failed.

With DarwinPorts (MacPorts), I built the gd2 port:

======
~ $port info gd2
gd2 2.0.33, Revision 2, graphics/gd2 (Variants: darwin_6, darwin)
http://www.boutell.com/gd/

gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from
other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a .PNG file.
This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .PNG
is the format used for inline images. gd is not a paint program. If you
are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If
you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place.

Library Dependencies: libpng, jpeg, freetype, XFree86
------

and then tried:

perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/opt/local/lib -liconv' -options "JPEG,FT,PNG"

'make test' failed with the following output:

Now, I did come across a comment in a google search on this problem
that the fact it is failing here is not likely a real problem and that
I can just go ahead and install the module. Is this true? However, I
would like to see it pass...

Try verifying that GD.bundle is linked against the *correct* libiconv,
with "otool -L ./blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.bundle".

I've a sneaking suspicion that it's picking up the Apple-supplied library
from /usr/lib instead, and that's an older version than what DarwinPorts
supplies.

It looks like it is pulling it from darwinports:

../blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.bundle:
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0,
current version 7.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 88.3.3)

any other ideas?

If the above is complete, it looks like GD.bundle isn't linked against libgd.
Either that or libgd is static.

Have a look in Makefile.PL, to see what it assigns to LIBS. The fix for the
earlier "unrecognized arguments" error may have left out some arguments -
such as "-lgd" to link against libgd for instance.

That was the solution. Thank you.

I'm curious, why doesn't Makefile.PL handle the iconv situation better?
Is this a bug that should be reported?

Good question. Nothing in Makefile.PL jumps out as being obviously wrong.

I just ran into this issue. This thread helped me to think about the
issue a bit more which lead to find this:

BUG: gd2 port has broken gdlib-config
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/3562

So the problem is not caused by the Makefile.PL but macports' gdlib-config.

Since this thread did not explicitly state how Eric got GD passing the
tests I'll document how I did it:

After creating the Makefile by running 'perl Makefile.pl' I added
'-L/opt/local/lib -liconv' to the EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS lists in the
Makefile. From there the normal make, make test, make install routine
can be followed.
