[bug-gs] Ghostsciprt build problem |

[Ray Johnston]

Anj,

Note the use of the magic word in the subject to the reply.
We use 'artifex' backwards to allow real messages through
quickly, skipping moderation review and getting piled up
with a bunch of spam.

If you remove the 'bmpa...' devices from the makefile
DEVICE_DEVS= list you won't need the threads library. I don't
know where DG UX puts these libraries, and they may not be
installed on your system.

Also the bmpa* devices are not in later GNU/GPL releases.
You may want to upgrade to 7.07, the latest GPL release or to
the 8.14 AFPL release. Both are far superior to 6.50.

Regards,
Ray Johnston
