I was finally able to compile freetype2 support (and jpeg) by doing the following steps:

1 : ~/.phpbrew/build/php-5.6.23/ext/gd
2 : make clean
3 : ./configure --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir=/usr
4 : make
5 : make install

the compilation with phpbrew itself still ignore the --with-jpeg-dir and --with-freetype-dir options

Same problem here with PHP 5.6.31

[edigu]

Seems like its also valid for 7.3.1. Somehow freetype is ignored:

phpbrew install -j $(nproc) 7.3.1 +default -- --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/opt/freetype

I have brew installed freetype:

➜  brew info freetype
freetype: stable 2.10.0 (bottled)

Even worse, installing gd from pecl is not possible, at least for a couple of hours:

➜  phpbrew -d ext install gd -- --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/opt/freetype
