[gs-devel] pdf to ps conversion

[san]

Hi Ken,

Yes I am able to convert the test.pdf in fedora box which I am using to
cross compile, below are few configuration parameters which I am using while
cross compiling ghostscript

 --without-x
 --disable-cups
 --disable-compile-inits
 --without-omni
 --with-drivers=HP,PS

And I have used same option on my host machine also, which works fine on
Fedora but not on target

I will give it a shot with pre release version, will see if that makes any
difference on my target machine. however these are the below things which
are running in my mind to solve this issue

1. Should I be looking into ghostscript source to find how things work on
64-bit machine
2. Or I may need to change my compiler settings

can you point me to some documentation from which I can understand output of
debug when used -D(1/2/3) so that I can find problem area
Thank you very much for your support

Thanks
Santhosh
