| voices | Robin_Watts: thought so. i can't seem to compile it on macos. is there some additional steps or something? | 02:48.19 |
| | i just curled it, untarred it, ./configured and make-ed (made? maked? you know what i mean) | 02:51.01 |
| | ./configure works fine | 03:45.49 |
| | this is the tail end of make where it fails: https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/i6HGDXDq | 03:46.15 |
| kens | voices, I think you should ./sutogen.sh, not ./configure | 08:12.39 |
| | Best time t catch someone who can be more authoritative is office hours in the UK. | 08:13.21 |
| | I don't kow where you got the sources from, the Ghostscript website ? | 08:13.42 |
| voices | kens: irt was hoste on sourceforge | 09:04.34 |
| kens | OK that's probably our code then | 09:04.45 |
| | I'd try using ./autogen.sh and then amke | 09:04.56 |
| | Actually, given that you've partially built it, you m,ight need to do ./autogen.sh then "make clean" then make | 09:07.26 |
| voices | kens: it seemed official. i first tried using homebrew and macports but neither seem to be working properly or even the current version. thanks, i've never seen that before, force of habit. i'll try it | 09:08.58 |
| kens | Hope it works for you :-) | 09:09.17 |
| voices | cheers mate, me too. do you know anything about pstoedit and/or xfig? that's what this is all in aid of for me. i'm trying to convert vector diagrams (.ps or .pdf or .svg or whatever format) to .fig format so they can be edited and exported back to LaTeX (via TikZ/pgf) .tex format syntax | 09:16.13 |
| kens | A very little about pstoedit (I think I've talked with the maintainer a few times) but nothgin about xfig. | 09:16.46 |
| voices | kens: still same problem | 09:36.45 |
| kens | Hmmm | 09:36.53 |
| | sadly I'm not an expert on teh build system | 09:37.01 |
| | let me boot up an old mac and see if I can reproduce it | 09:37.14 |
| | voices can you remember the SourceForge URL ? | 09:39.20 |
| | Jutt to make sure its the smae as ours | 09:39.29 |
| | Ah, I remember now, we don't use SourceForge any more | 09:46.25 |
| | voices | 09:46.32 |
| | you either want to go to our website and pick up the tarball from the download page, or go to Github and find our page there | 09:49.09 |
| | Or use Git to clone our repository of course | 09:49.19 |
| | Here's the Github URL: | 09:49.57 |
| | https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases | 09:49.57 |
| Robin_Watts | voices: Try ./autogen.sh --without-opvp | 09:50.33 |
| | I can never remember the correct configure incantations. | 09:50.55 |
| | basically, it's trying to build in the opvp device, and a library is missing. | 09:51.13 |
| kens | For me on Mountain Lion just ./autogen.sh works | 09:51.17 |
| Robin_Watts | or --without-iconv | 09:51.31 |
| | --with-iconv=no ? Like I say, I can never remember. | 09:52.45 |
| kens | I'd still suggest getting the proper soruces | 09:53.03 |
| | We've not used SourceForge for some time, I wouldn't trust anything on there | 09:53.40 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: Yeah, can't argue with that. | 09:54.23 |
| kens | Cloning teh Git repo works for me, I'll try our tarball | 09:55.09 |
| | Umm, my ancient Safari won't open teh page because it can't establish a secure connection :-( | 09:56.13 |
| | voices I just pulled the soruce from our web site, untarr/zipped it and then did ./autogen.sh make in the ghostscript-9.27 folder and it built without problem | 10:08.16 |
| voices | Robin_Watts: hmm unrecognized options | 10:30.59 |
| | kens: so which version do i want? the linux version, i suppose? | 10:31.50 |
| Robin_Watts | voices: yes. | 10:40.16 |
| | --with-libiconv=no | 10:41.13 |
| | Sorry, like I say, crap memory. | 10:41.30 |
| kens | voices, sorry I went out for a swim. You want the source tarball, the Linux binaries won't help you at all. | 14:09.19 |
| | Starting from a fresh install of OSX 10.14 (Mojave) I installed Homebrew, then used that to install autoconf, automake and libtool, then installed gcc. | 14:09.59 |
| | Downloaded the 9.27 source tarball and decompressed it to a convenient location in my home directory (ghostscript-9.27). | 14:10.29 |
| | From that directory, did "./autogen.sh" and then "make" | 14:10.48 |
| | Ghostscript buitl without complaint. | 14:10.54 |
| | Of course, I hadn't installed the X-Windows development package, so I didn't get X support, so no x11 output window, but Ghostscript deos run | 14:11.50 |
