| AntumDeluge | After cloning the master branch of ghostpdl can I check out ghostscript only? | 04:18.56 |
| | Trying to build from master branch I'm getting the same error I had been getting with 9.15: No rule to make target 'obj/mag16.dev', needed by 'obj/ld.tr' | 04:42.33 |
| | I followed these instructions to get past some incompatiblies with old libraries bundled with ghostscript: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/gs.html | 04:44.19 |
| | is this a specific driver that I can disable? | 04:46.54 |
| kens | I'm not sure, and the build expert is not here right now, let me look | 04:55.13 |
| | Well my Windows build doesn't incllude it,'ll have to look in the makefile | 04:56.24 |
| AntumDeluge | I'm looking in it myself, but I haven't figured anything out yet. | 04:56.59 |
| kens | My first suggestionwould be *not* to use shared libraries | 04:57.16 |
| | The ghostscript source is built using the 3rd party source supplied, we know that works, we don't know anything raries system lt compatibility with your speci | 04:57.56 |
| AntumDeluge | So I'm going to have to link statically against libtiff, iconv, etc.? | 04:57.58 |
| kens | I would suggest you at least start that way | 04:58.13 |
| | Well I can't find any reference to 'mag16.dev' | 04:59.06 |
| | I'll boot a Linux VM and look th | 04:59.16 |
| AntumDeluge | I found "mag16" in configure.ac. I'm going to try deleting it reconfiguring. | 05:01.40 |
| kens | OK so it is present in ld.tr on Linux | 05:01.47 |
| | and in Makefile | 05:02.22 |
| | Hmm there's also a mag256.dev | 05:04.11 |
| | It looks like you may be able to do without it | 05:05.29 |
| | grep gdevprn *.dev | 05:05.40 |
| | oops ;-) | 05:05.48 |
| | OK its a contributed driver for a printer only ever sold in Japan, you can safely remove it. | 05:09.35 |
| AntumDeluge | The configuration output that contributed drivers were disabled. It wouldn't even let me enable them. | 05:10.21 |
| | Sounds like there might be a bug in the autotools scripts. | 05:10.45 |
| kens | Well, that's possible, but it work OS'ss on Linux and other *nix ali | 05:11.16 |
| | Sorry my track pad is playing up | 05:11.34 |
| | It works on Linux and other *nix-like OS's | 05:11.49 |
| AntumDeluge | Could be an issue with MSYS2's autotools. | 05:11.54 |
| kens | Sadly I know nothing about autotools and our build expert is on vacation until the end of next week | 05:12.33 |
| AntumDeluge | I know one thing about autotools.... | 05:13.50 |
| | I hate them. >.< | 05:13.54 |
| | ...when they don't work. | 05:13.59 |
| kens | If all the contributed devices are unavailable it sounds like you are gong to have a long series of problems | 05:14.09 |
| AntumDeluge | I'm going to have to figure out which devices are contributed and remove them from the Makefile. | 05:14.44 |
| kens | There are quite a few, but they are all in contrib and its sub-folders I believe | 05:15.29 |
| | Unfortunately this is not a good week to be asking qwuestions as we have just finished a company staff meeting and several developers are taking vacation now, since we had to fly to the US. | 05:16.34 |
| AntumDeluge | But this is the week that I need to get it done. :p | 05:16.58 |
| kens | Also, a few of us time of night, generallyd at thare based in Europe, and so we are not arou | 05:17.04 |
| | Grr, stupi track pad | 05:17.13 |
| | Quite a few of us are based in Europe, and are not generally around at this time of night | 05:17.37 |
| | Its 5:20 am back home, I'm only online as I'm sitting in a hotel room until I fly bavck tomorrow | 05:18.12 |
| | Its 'possible' that someone with more clue than me will read the logs and comment, so you might like to check the logs over the next few days | 05:19.14 |
| AntumDeluge | Is this channel logged to a server? | 05:19.33 |
| kens | Yes indeed | 05:19.39 |
| AntumDeluge | Could you give me a link? | 05:19.50 |
| kens | http://ghostscript.com/irclogs/current.html | 05:20.01 |
| | Sorry for the delay, I had to go look it up | 05:20.14 |
| AntumDeluge | Thank you. | 05:20.14 |
| kens | Well, I'm off to bed, good luck with your build ! | 05:20.49 |
| AntumDeluge | Good night, and thanks again. | 05:21.07 |
| | I commented out the entire "DEVICE_DEVS2" variable in the Makefile and it build... though, I don't know the result of doing that. Also, I thought libgs would build along with ghostscript. but, the install only added the executables and manpages. | 06:01.47 |
| | Ah, okay. "make so" create the library and dll. | 06:16.36 |
| | *creates | 06:16.42 |
| | Well, it is built and installed. :) | 07:31.55 |
| | Not sure if everything is going to work correctly though. | 07:32.06 |
| chrisl | AntumDeluge: for the mingw family, the contrib devices should be disabled (they, or some of them, rely on libraries/features not available on there). It *looks* like configure should do it automatically, and give a warning ("disabling contrib devices"). As I don't have a Windows machine here, I can't test it. | 13:53.02 |
| | Could you throw your config.log somewhere I can see it? Or even just give me the output from "uname" at your msys shell prompt? | 13:53.58 |
| AntumDeluge | Yes, it did give that warning, but it failed either way. I think the script ouputs that they are disabled but in reality it leaves them enabled. | 13:54.46 |
| | I usually save my config logs, I'll see if I can find it. | 13:55.03 |
| chrisl | Well, when I do --disable-contrib explicitly, it *definitely* leaves out the contrib devices, and the automatic disabling works the same way | 13:56.40 |
| AntumDeluge | I tried that as well and it had no effect. | 13:59.49 |

| | uname -a: MINGW32_NT-6.1 Jordan_Win7 2.0.0(0.280/5/3) 2014-11-06 20:34 x86_64 Msys | 14:00.19 |
| | gcc --version: gcc.exe (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project) 4.9.2 | 14:01.01 |
| | Note that I am in a 64-bit MSYS environment, but am currently using 32-bit MinGW build tools. | 14:01.43 |
| chrisl | It shouldn't really matter, the rule is based on the output from uname having the prefix "MINGW". But it's baffling that --disable-contrib didn't work. | 14:03.26 |
| kens | Morning chrisl | 14:03.29 |
| chrisl | Good morning kens | 14:04.38 |
| AntumDeluge | It may have something to do with my autotools setup. | 14:04.51 |
| kens | I can have a bash at this on Monday when I get home if it helps | 14:05.18 |
| chrisl | AntumDeluge: are you not using the default autotools from msys? | 14:05.30 |
| AntumDeluge | Yes, I am. | 14:05.38 |
| chrisl | I *know* other people have used it successfully, because I haven't had msys for a couple of years, and all the updates done for that platform have come from, or been tested by, other people. | 14:06.44 |
| | kens: it's up to you, but I feel that AntumDeluge has a workaround he can live with, so it might as well wait for me to get back. | 14:07.57 |
| AntumDeluge | sh --version: GNU bash, version 4.3.33(2)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) | 14:08.03 |
| | Ya, I am happy with it at the moment. | 14:08.22 |
| kens | If the binary works that's fine. I do have a MingW here, but its only 32-bit | 14:08.26 |
| AntumDeluge | I really just wanted to get libgs build so I could link against it. | 14:08.33 |
| kens | I'll leave it for you chris :-) | 14:08.39 |
| chrisl | AntumDeluge: Ah, I will confess that the shared library build has had considerably less use than the executable..... but that *shouldn't* affect the list of devices. | 14:09.36 |
| | AntumDeluge: this may seem like an obvious question, but you did do all this using the scripts under "gs" and not in the top level repo directory? | 14:10.41 |
| AntumDeluge | I'll test it again some time too. I only used the --disable-contrib option once or twice. Wouldn't hurt to confirm it for myself. | 14:11.03 |
| | ya, if I understand your questions correctly.... | 14:11.33 |
| | cd gs && mkdir build-win32 && cd build-win32 && ../configure .... | 14:11.46 |
| chrisl | Yeh, that should be okay. You could also try building "in tree" (i.e. not using the build-win32 directory) - support for that was only added *fairly* recently, and it may well have issues. | 14:13.28 |
| AntumDeluge | you mean configuring and building from the gs directory? | 14:14.05 |
| chrisl | Yes | 14:14.09 |
| AntumDeluge | Okay, I'll give that a shot next time I feel like tearing my hair out again. ;) | 14:14.32 |
| chrisl | AntumDeluge: okay, it would be good if you could try out those two things (--diable-contrib, and the in-tree build). As kens said earlier, I'm on vacation, so there's no rush - it'll be at least a week before I can look at it. | 14:16.09 |
| kens | heads for breakfast | 14:25.59 |
