Can't install gd extension

[sluther]

Version of install-php-extensions

v2.2.2

Error description

I get the following error when trying to build:

#9 30.32 libtool: link: `libgd/gd_pixelate.lo' is not a valid libtool object
#9 30.32 make: *** [Makefile:338: gd.la] Error 1
#9 ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions &&     install-php-extensions gd exif intl" did not complete successfully: exit code: 2

This only seems to happen when I build for the linux/amd64 platform (which I need to do, as I'm running docker on an ARM Mac):

docker buildx build --progress=plain --no-cache --platform=linux/amd64 .

Docker image

php:8.2-fpm-alpine

Minimal Dockerfile

FROM php:8.2-fpm-alpine

ADD --chmod=0755 https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && \
    install-php-extensions gd exif intl

I can't replicate this issue

[sluther]

I just tried again and now I am getting this error:

fontl.lo  -MMD -MF libgd/gdfontl.dep -MT libgd/gdfontl.lo
32.39 cc: warning: : linker input file unused because linking not done
32.39 cc: error: : linker input file not found: No such file or directory
32.40 make: *** [Makefile:240: libgd/gd_webp.lo] Error 1
32.40 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Is this caused by some sort of issue with my environment? I am on the latest version of Docker as well (Docker Desktop v4.28.0)

[hcpss-banderson]

I can reproduce. Started getting something similar with bcmath when i switched from an intel mac to my new M3. Tried your Dockerfile and I get your same error. Maybe and issue in the extensions themselves.

[pionl]

Hi there, same, im stuck too. It was working some time ago.

I managed to find out why, it was due the php8.1.27 version, when reverting back to php8.1.26 it started working again

---

I've got the same issue on Apple silicon and using linux/amd64 with gd extension.

install-php-extensions ctype intl redis pdo pdo_mysql gd imagick exif mbstring json xml tokenizer xdebug opcache zip

Tried to lower the version of install-php-extension and no help :)

Version v2.1.84

If i removed gd, not success ;) Using php-8.1.27-cli-alpine image

If I remove intl, it crashes on redis... :)

Same error here.

As soon as I add 'gd' some other extension fails.

A part of my Dockerfile as example where you can (hopefully) reproduce it too.

It worked fine last week so something must have broken latest days.

FROM dunglas/frankenphp:latest

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
	acl \
	file \
	gettext \
	git \
	procps \
	htop \
	&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN set -eux; \
	install-php-extensions \
		@composer \
		opcache \
		zip \
		pcntl \
		redis \
		igbinary \
		mysqli \
		pdo_mysql \
		exif \
		bcmath \
                 sockets \
                 gd \
	;

# https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-allow-superuser
ENV COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER=1

Removing 'gd' makes everything work again.

Error is usually something like this:

78.62 cc: warning: : linker input file unused because linking not done
78.62 cc: error: : linker input file not found: No such file or directory
78.62 make: *** [Makefile:235: zend_accelerator_blacklist.lo] Error 1

Update: Probably same as previous mentions, there has been a new php 8.3 release since my last successful build. Will try to lock it to 8.3.3 instead of 8.3.4.

Update 2:

Yes, pinning it to 8.3.3 makes GD work fine to install again. So we'll have to wait for a fix in either php or gd before updating php version.

[sluther]

Unfortunately, I need to use php 8.2 for now, otherwise I'd have tried 8.3+. Also worth noting, but this works for me just fine with php:8.2-fpm-bookworm, though it also fails with php:8.2-fpm, php:8.2-fpm-bullseye, php:8.2-fpm-alpine3.18 and php:8.2-fpm-alpine3.19. I'm trying to use the alpine image as it's much smaller than the others.

[hcpss-banderson]

I've been trying to cross compile php images with extensions without the use of this project to wildly inconsistent results. Different extensions giving different errors. I think we may just not be understanding how multiplatform building works.

Here is a workaround from this post:

FROM --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM php:8.2-fpm-alpine

ADD --chmod=0755 https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && \
    install-php-extensions gd exif intl

It seems strange to have to explicitly tell docker that I want to use the base image for my target architecture, but i guess we do.

EDIT: I think this is less a workaround and more just how we are supposed to do multiplatform builds.

[marcispauls]

the issue seems only on arm64 on x64 all seems fine

[mlocati]

So, the issue is not related to install-php-extensions and can be fixed by using

FROM --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM php:whatever

right? If so, I'd close this issue...

[sluther]

I will test that when I get home and report back, though I don't believe that will fix the issue (I had tried specifying the --platform already and it was failing then, too).

[pionl]

It works, but I'm unable to build amd64 flavor now and I was unable to seutp buildx that uses the $BUILDPLATFORM

[sluther]

I have confirmed that while setting --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM prevents the error during build, I am unable to actually run the docker image on my server, so unfortunately, this is not a fix. Setting --platform=linux/amd64 unfortunately does not work, and that's the architecture I need (building on an M2 mac but running on a linux/amd64 server).

[mlocati]

I am unable to actually run the docker image on my server

What's the error?

[sluther]

The error I'm getting is:

php-fpm-1  | exec /usr/local/bin/docker-php-entrypoint: exec format error
php-fpm-1 exited with code 1

[hcpss-banderson]

Yeah i get that too. I was definitely wrong about BUILDPLATFORM. It might be TARGETPLATFORM, but i am not convinced of that now either.

If we want to demonstrate that this is an issue with install-php-extensions, we need to show:

1. We can build a php image with gd on apple silicone that targets amd64 without install-php-extensions
2. We cannot build a similar php image with install-php-extensions

I can't get 1 working.

I think this is a minimal dockerfile:

FROM php:8.2-fpm-alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual \
    build-essentials \
    zlib-dev \
    g++ \
    make \
    automake \
    autoconf \
    libpng-dev \
    libjpeg-turbo-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-configure gd --enable-gd --with-jpeg
RUN docker-php-ext-install gd

@sluther can you build that for amd64?

[hcpss-banderson]

Thanks to this comment on a similar issue, I think I have this fixed.

It seems that while Rosetta allows us to run amd64 images on our arm64 macs, it is messing up multiplatform building. So turn it off:

Dashboard > Settings > General

Uncheck Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon

I can now consistently build the amd64 image and run it on my x86 server.

[mlocati]

@sluther @pionl @cyppe can you confirm this is working for you too?

[sluther]

@mlocati yep. I can confirm the above fix worked for me. I was able to build on my mac and deploy to my amd64 server without any issues.

@hcpss-banderson Thanks a ton. Great find!

[pionl]

@hcpss-banderson wow, I did not expect this, the description makes me think it will work thanks to the option. Thanks for finding this!

@mlocati I will test it on Monday, I did not have the time to make it this week.

Thanks all!

[pionl]

Hey all. If I disable the Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon I'm unable to run correctly any images with --platform=linux/amd64 -> I need to set amd64 for chrome.

If I uncheck roseta, build an image, then i can start the container but it crashes on launching chrome.

Then I've tried to update the PHP related images with unchecked rosetta and I did not manage to setup the docker to support buildx. I'll try next time then.

FYI: I can build 8.1.26 without problem, 8.1.27 fails (or PHP 8.2+).
