<title>Installation of Ghostscript</title>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>The <application>Ghostscript</application> build system is not
|
|
user-friendly. In order to use system copies of various graphics
|
|
libraries, you must do it using unconventional methods.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>First, if you wish to use the system-installed version of
|
|
<application>JasPer</application>, remove the local copy from the
|
|
source tree and apply a patch:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>rm -rf jasper &&
|
|
patch -Np1 -i ../ghostscript-&gs-version;-system_jasper-1.patch</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Next, if you wish to use the system-installed copies of
|
|
<application>libjpeg</application> and <application>libpng</application>,
|
|
remove the local copies from the source tree:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>rm -rf jpeg &&
|
|
rm -rf libpng</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you wish to use the system-installed copy of
|
|
<application>libtiff</application>, add the parameter
|
|
<option>--with-system-libtiff</option> to the <command>./configure</command>
|
|
command shown below. Also remove the
|
|
<filename class='directory'>tiff</filename> directory from the source tree
|
|
to prevent the <application>Ghostscript</application> build from using any
|
|
of its local copy.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unfortunately, <application>Ghostscript</application> will use local
|
|
copies of <application>Expat</application> and
|
|
<application>Zlib</application> from the source tree. There doesn't
|
|
appear to be an easy way to use system-installed copies of these libraries
|
|
without doing some hacking of the sources.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>Install <application>GPL Ghostscript</application> by running the
|
|
following commands:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dynamic &&
|
|
make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>This package does not come with a test suite. However, you may test
|
|
the operation of the newly built <command>gs</command> program by
|
|
issuing the following command (issue from an X Windows terminal):</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>bin/gs -Ilib -dBATCH examples/tiger.eps</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install docdir=/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version; &&
|
|
|
|
for INSTFILE in `ls doc`
|
|
do
|
|
if [ ! -f /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/$INSTFILE ]; then
|
|
install -v -m644 doc/$INSTFILE \
|
|
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;
|
|
fi
|
|
done &&
|
|
|
|
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/figures &&
|
|
install -v -m644 doc/figures/* \
|
|
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/figures</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>To install the shared library
|
|
<filename class='libraryfile'>libgs.so</filename>, run the
|
|
following additional command as an unprivileged user:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make so</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And again as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
|
|
user:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="root"><userinput>make soinstall docdir=/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version; &&
|
|
install -v -m644 base/*.h /usr/include/ghostscript &&
|
|
ln -v -s ghostscript /usr/include/ps</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>The shared library depends on <xref linkend="gtk2"/>. It is
|
|
only used in external programs like <xref linkend="gsview"/> and
|
|
<xref linkend="imagemagick"/>.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to
|
|
<filename class="directory">/usr/share/ghostscript</filename> and ensure
|
|
the ownerships of the files are
|
|
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:<systemitem
|
|
class="groupname">root</systemitem>. Substitute
|
|
<replaceable><font-tarball></replaceable> appropriately in
|
|
the command below for the fonts you wish to install:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="root"><userinput>tar -xvf ../<replaceable><font-tarball></replaceable> \
|
|
-C /usr/share/ghostscript --no-same-user</userinput></screen>
