<para>Install <application>GPL Ghostscript</application> by running the

following commands:</para>

<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>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>GPL Ghostscript</application> includes (old) copies of
|
|
several libraries. Some of these seem to have been patched to fix known
|
|
vulnerabilities, but others of these copies are less-well maintained.
|
|
To ensure that any future fixes are applied throughout the whole system,
|
|
it is recommended that you install the released versions of these
|
|
libraries and then configure <application>GPL Ghostscript</application>
|
|
to link to them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have installed these dependencies on your system, remove the
|
|
copies of <application>expat</application>,

<application>freetype</application>, <application>JasPer</application>,
|
|
<application>lcms</application>, <application>libjpeg</application>,

|
|
|
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dynamic --with-system-libtiff</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>To ensure the build is able to use the system versions of
|
|
<application>expat</application>, <application>freetype</application>, and
|
|
<application>zlib</application> it is necessary to make some changes and an
|
|
addition to the <literal>Makefile</literal> before building the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>sed -i '/^EXTRALIBS/s# -ldl# -lfreetype -lz#;/=imdi/aSHARE_EXPAT=1' Makefile &&
|
|
make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>If you have a multiprocessor computer and try to run make with
|
|
multiple jobs (eg, -j4) then the build may fail due to race conditions in
|
|
the <application>Ghostscript</application> build system.</para>
|
|
</warning>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>The shared library depends on <xref linkend="gtk2"/>. It is
|
|
only used in external programs like <xref linkend="imagemagick"/>.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>To compile 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>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>

ln -sv ../ghostscript/&gs-version;/doc /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<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>
