Mac OS X 10.10 php 5.5.14 free type support

Question

It appears the GD library is installed, but free type is not. How can I add this to my php installation in mac os x 10.10 system php install?

Answer 1

To get this configured with php

brew remove --ignore-dependencies --force php71
brew install php71 --with-freetype

Then make sure to load this brew installed php into your apache httpd.config, and restart your apache server.

LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.1/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so

Answer 2

I would install homebrew and then use:

brew install freetype
