How to compile php to enable webp support?

Question

while I compile php 5.5.10 many times ,but still cannot get webp support enable,which is described by "http://cn2.php.net/manual/zh/function.imagewebp.php". here is my compile setting:

CentOS release 5.8 (Final) x86_64
freetype-2.4.6
jpeg-8c
libpng-1.2.35
gd-2.1.0

php compile command

./configure    --prefix=/apps/lib/php-5.5.10  --with-mysql=mysqlnd   --with-mysqli=mysqlnd   --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd   --enable-mysqlnd   --enable-fpm   --enable-mbstring   --enable-mbregex   --with-zlib-dir=/apps/lib/zlib   --enable-pcntl   --enable-sockets   --enable-ftp   --enable-soap   --enable-bcmath   --disable-debug   --enable-sockets   --enable-inline-optimization   --disable-rpath   --with-mysql=/apps/svr/mysql5   --with-libxml-dir=/apps/lib/libxml   --with-jpeg-dir=/apps/lib/jpeg   --with-iconv-dir=/apps/lib/libiconv   --with-mcrypt=/apps/lib/libmcrypt   --with-freetype-dir=/apps/lib/freetype   --with-gd=/apps/lib/gd-2.1.0  --with-openssl-dir=/apps/lib/openssl   --with-openssl=/apps/lib/openssl   --with-curl=/apps/lib/curl  --with-png-dir=/apps/lib/libpng --enable-opcache=no

and finally get this output for gd

gd

GD Support => enabled
GD Version => 2.1.0-alpha
FreeType Support => enabled
FreeType Linkage => with freetype
FreeType Version => 2.4.6
GIF Read Support => enabled
GIF Create Support => enabled

libJPEG Version => 8
PNG Support => enabled
libPNG Version => 1.2.35
WBMP Support => enabled
XPM Support => enabled
libXpm Version => 30411
XBM Support => enabled

while I follow the steps by 'http://techglimpse.com/install-upgrade-php55-yum/' to install php 5.5.9 using remi.repo,I finally get the success signal from this output for gd

gd

GD Support => enabled
GD Version => 2.1.0

For system admin's concern , I need to deploy php with the compiling version . Did I miss anything important while compiled php or lib gd ?

To enable WebP support, you have to add --with-vpx-dir= to your configure line (and of course have libvpx installed). See also https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64476.
