Ptouch-print compile error: Could not find GD library
2026-07-28 15:15 UTC
Trying to install ptouch-print:
$ git clone https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git
Cloning into 'ptouch-print'...
Fetching objects: 794, done.
$ cd ptouch-print/
$ ./compile.sh
Found GD: NO
CMake Error at cmake/FindGD.cmake:109 (MESSAGE):
Could not find GD library
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:13 (find_package)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
So I thought maybe libgd was not installed, but it is, so where am I going wrong?
$ apt list --installed | grep libgd3
libgd3/noble,now 2.3.3-9ubuntu5 amd64 [installed]

I overlooked this line from the docs: Benötigt werden cmake, git, libgd und libusb - bei manchen Distributionen (z.B. Ubuntu) sind die Header-Files in separaten Paketen "libusb-dev" die ggf. noch nachinstalliert werden müssen. I should have done sudo apt install libgd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev before attempting compilation.
