Please help me somehow!
I've been using slackware for a while due to it's packages which adjusts my demands and are just perfect.

But there is still a problem with PHP, as i install php and GD packages, freetype libraries are not included and i really hate messing up all the beautiful Slackware system by recompiling php and GD with --with-freetype.

Are there any easier way or already precompiled packages, which can be used by "installpkg'?

Here's what I use to install PHP/Apache from source... keep in mind the latest versions of PHP come with GD built in ;-)

1. cd apache_1.3.27
2. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=rewrite
3. cd ../php-4.3.0
4. ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.28 --with- mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars \
--with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-tiff-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir \
--with-openssl --with-gd --enable-sockets --enable-bcmath --enable-ftp --enable-exif \
--enable-ctype --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-curl --with-pear --with-pcre-regex --enable-calander \
--with-snmp
5. make
6. make install
7. cp libs/libphp4.a ../apache_1.3.28/src/modules/php4/
8. cd ../apache_1.3.28
9. ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --activate-module=src/modules/standard/mod_rewrite.o
10. make
