Hi All
Preliminary instructions for building the
Ghostscript Interpreter with Cygwin
These Instructions and support files at least temporarily live at
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/
obligatory output example
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/tiger.pdf
first get gs6.62 < other distributions ?may? work >
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/tester.htm
Get the following additional distributions
and place them in the top $GS_SRC directory
IJG JPEG library:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/ jpegsrc.v*.tar.gz
PNG library:
ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/ libpng-*.tar.gz or lpng*.zip
zlib:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/ zlib-*.tar.gz or zlib*.zip.
icclib:
http://web.access.net.au/argyll/color.html
see src / icclib.mak for necessary modifications for GS
mini-xlib:
http://www.io.com/~bub/dnload/xlib-src-d.tgz
rename these directories to zlib libpng jpeg icc xlib
copy myfiles from here on top of the files in $GS_SRC / src
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/gs6.62/src
make a symbolic link in $GS_SRC to the cywin makefile
% ln -s Makefile src/cygwin.mak
% make
to test
% cd lib
% ../bin/gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOuputFile=../tiger.jpg ../examples/tiger.ps
There are still a few problems
notably png support but this is a start
Many thanks to
Bub for his mini-xlib
Robert Collins for getting threading support
and all the others that help make Cygwin what it is !
enjoy
