[ptxdist] [PATCH 3/3] Rules to build ghostscript for the host.

[David Thomas]

These are a dependency of building ghostscript for the target
 because some of the files that ghostscript builds are
 programs that need to be run on the host during the
 build process.

Re: [ptxdist] [PATCH 3/3] Rules to build ghostscript for the host.

Hi David,

welcome to the printing hell :)

I also tried with CUPS and Ghostscript. Its far from perfect, but it seems to 
work. The CUPS project is not interested in cross compiling (there was a 
statement at one of their mailing lists longer time ago and their buildsystem 
is really broken regarding this) and the Ghostscript buildsystem is an ugly 
mixture of autotools based configure and hand made Makefiles. A real mess. I'm 
using Ghostscript 8.70. Should I send my variant as well?

Regards,
Juergen

mhh, this statement must ending with:

"With best regards Apple Inc." ;-)

Otherwise you could do a fancy airprint with non apple embedded devices.

Hi Juergen,

If you got Ghostscript 8.70 to work with CUPS, I would be deeply interested in those patches. :-)

Thanks,
David
