To enable GD-support configure PHP
<strong class="option configure">--with-gd[=DIR]</strong>
, where DIR is the GD base
install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library
(which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option
<strong class="option configure">--with-gd</strong>
.
GD library requires <span class="productname">libpng</span> and
<span class="productname">libjpeg</span> to compile.

In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL <var class="filename">php_gd2.dll</var> as
an extension in <var class="filename">php.ini</var>. The GD1 DLL <var class="filename">php_gd.dll</var> was
removed in PHP 4.3.2. Also note that the preferred truecolor image
functions, such as <span class="function"><a href="function.imagecreatetruecolor.html" class="function">imagecreatetruecolor()</a></span>, require GD2.
