[OT] Problem building gd-2.0.35 library

[Sisyphus]

Hi,

Obviously way OT for this list - but I see that Strawberry ships with
gd-2.0.35, so I'm hoping someone here has faced (and solved) the problem
I've struck.

No problem running configure. It terminates with:

###############################
** Configuration summary for gd 2.0.35:

Support for PNG library: yes
Support for JPEG library: yes
Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
Support for Fontconfig library: yes
Support for Xpm library: yes
Support for pthreads: yes

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config/Makefile
config.status: creating config/gdlib-config
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands

But running 'make', things go apeshit almost immediately:

Anyone struck anything like this ?
I've actually built gd-2.0.35 before, and didn't strike this problem. But
now that it's started happening, I can't avoid it - having tried various
combinations of (MSWindows) system, msys shell, and gcc versions.

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,
Rob

For Citrus I use cmake on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. My notes for 64
bit mingw build are:

# - remove -m32 flag in top CMAKEfiles.txt for 64 bit, then :-

cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\buildprefix
-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=C:\buildprefix\lib
-DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\Projects\buildprefix\include -DENABLE_PNG=1
-DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DENABLE_JPEG=1 -DCMAKE_RELEASE_TYPE=RELEASE ..\


My builds of freetype, jpeg and png are already in the prefix location.

Hope it helps.

See enclosed patch I am using when building gd for strawberry perl - I am
not saying it will fix your troubles :)

Some notes:
- I am not sure why but for some reason I do not enable pthreads although I
have them
- there is IIRC some mismatch in timestamps so before running ./configure I
call:
touch -r Makefile.am config.* Makefile.* configure* aclocal.*
