Description Hin-Tak Leung 2010-08-02 22:05:30 UTC

There are 5 cygwin/mingw-related patches at:

http://github.com/janneke/gub/tree/master/patches/

ghostscript-8.70-cygwin.patch 
ghostscript-8.70-gs_dll.patch
ghostscript-8.70-make.patch
ghostscript-8.70-windows-make.patch
ghostscript-8.70-windows-wb.patch

Note that the last one (the simpliest one, in fact), was the subject matter of bug 691441 .

I think one of them is about --prefix, so shouldn't be integrated; the rest are interesting but looks invasive.

I am filing this just so that this work is not forgotten and may be incoporated some how in the future.

Comment 1 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-08-12 14:58:23 UTC

There are some significant problem against msvc with 
ghostscript-8.70-windows-make.patch - I'll send them the fix and update to 9.00 anyhow.

Comment 2 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2012-08-17 14:25:39 UTC

I think some of these are fixed or redundant.

Outstanding patches should be submitted as individual bugs, with patches against a recent GS version attached to the bugs.
