gd module install notes
I'm going to assume that you've got the GD library installed, which is
pretty trivial to do. If you're having troubles with that, I suggest
you have a look at that package's instructions.
This version of gdmodule is written assuming you have PNG, JPEG, FreeType,
and Xpm libraries incorporated into your copy of GD. If you have an
incomplete version you will have difficulty getting this one to build.
Now, for gdmodule, you'll need to do one of two things. You have the
option to link the gdmodule into Python itself or to make it dynamically
loadable.
option 1
Determine the installation location (prefix) of Python on your system.
This may be done using the command "python -c 'import sys;print sys.prefix'".
Once you have determined the install prefix, then grab the file
Makefile.pre.in from prefix/lib/python1.5/config.
I have provided a sample of this file, from Python 1.5, but you would do
well to copy the one from your build. Also, if you are using Mingw32 (to
build for Windows) you are on your own at the moment.
Now that Makefile.pre.in is in the same directory as the gdmodule.c source
and Setup.in, edit Setup.in to ensure that the GD library include and lib
paths are correct.
Now type "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot; make". You should now have a working
gdmodule.so. You should be able to execute the "gddemo.py" script with no
errors. Once you have determined that it's all compiled ok, copy gdmodule.so
to prefix/lib/python1.5/site-packages (you may need to actually make this
directory).
option 2
This requires that you are able to either compile & install Python yourself
or are good friends with the person who does :) You need to copy the
gdmodule.c file to the Modules directory and edit the "Setup.in" file to
add the following lines at the end:
# Richard Jones' GD module.
gd gdmodule.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgd -lz -lpng -ljpeg -lttf -lX11 -lXpm
Once you've done that, you'll need to delete the "Setup" file and type "make
Setup". Then go up to the main Python directory and type "make install" and
you're done. You should now be able to execute the "gddemo.py" script with
no errors.
