Scheduled Downtime

I went through that tutorial, but I think it was wrong on a number of counts (including the coding errors it claimed existed, and the installation method it used). Regardless, I figured out how to make it work and Ming should now be installed for PHP.

 

Is it working for you guys?

Ming is working for me!

Yep, works like a charm now, thanks a bundle

 

Sorry i couldn't find a clear cut solution, but i hope it at least helped some.

 

And btw, they did mention that the coding error was for Ming version 0.4.2, and that that section could be skipped for 0.4.3

Ah, good point! I misread.

 

Their make/make install in php_ext only works for standard installations, though... we don't use a php.d directory and have a non-standard includes directory, so that didn't work. But there was a php_ext/tmp folder with a ./configure that installed the extension to the correct directory, and I just manually added the configuration line to php.ini.

Note to self, and other sysadmins:

 

To get libgdiplus working, make sure glib-2.0 is installed, that it has a lib64 .pc in pkgconfig, and that there is a symlink from the .so to the real library in /lib64.
