Ghostscript 'automatic' installation binaries no longer install all of the Resource/CMap and Resource/Font files since they are compiled into the binary by default (COMPILE_INITS=1 in psi/msvc32.mak). These files are available in the source tarball of Ghostscript, but since Ghostscript now includes everything in the .exe (%rom%Resource/ file system) they are not copied to the Windows hard drive. This also prevents 'version skew' with the Resource/Init/*.ps files which could occur with the files existing on the hard drive. Since this is now the intended installation action, closing as "WORKSFORME". |
Installation on W2k finishes successfully without any complaints, but neither program GPL Ghostscript Fonts is installed (directory fonts too is missing) nor directory Resource is created. Documentation install.htm says both should have been included: "The archive includes files in these subdirectories: gs#.##\bin gs#.##\examples gs#.##\lib gs#.##\doc gs#.##\Resource fonts " For installation I invoked the default binary gs900w32.exe from a local disk. Before installation I uninstalled gsview, GPL Ghostscript Fonts, gs 8.71, and renamed the environment variable GS_LIB to avoid it being used during installation. I tried several times with the same result. Any idea what might have happened and hint what to do? Go back to 8.71? Thanks Günter
