(followup III) Leopard Annoyances I – Apache/PHP

Written on 3 September, 2009 – 11:47 pm | by casper |

Back in February 2008 I wrote about my unhappyness about Apples inability to build a usefull PHP for Leopard (OSX 10.5), which forced more or less everyone who would be using PHP on Leopard to use a 3rd party build. And as far as I remember this was also the case with Tiger.

Now finally after years of waiting Apple have finally decided to compile PHP with GD (graphics manipulation library), enabled.

GD Support => enabled
GD Version => bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
GIF Read Support => enabled
GIF Create Support => enabled
JPEG Support => enabled
libJPEG Version => 6b
PNG Support => enabled
libPNG Version => 1.2.37
WBMP Support => enabled
XBM Support => enabled

One can say that Apple actually delivers, but why did it have to take years…..
