Description David Kinniburgh 2011-03-20 22:29:19 UTC

Should this not have been changed to gswin64/gswin64c as per bin directory? This batch file is called in e.g. ps2pdfxx.bat.



Not so important but fyi ...

In documentation

4.2 General Windows configuration

GSWIN32C.EXE	 	Ghostscript as a command line Windows program. This is usually the preferred executable.
GSWIN32.EXE	 	32-bit Ghostscript using its own window for commands
GSDLL32.DLL	 	32-bit dynamic link library containing most of 

should that not now also include reference to the 64-bit files or is the 32-bit version really preferred?

Comment 1 Russ 2011-03-21 14:37:40 UTC

The 32 bit versions were not included in the 64 bit installation, so I had to edit the gssetgs.bat file manually to get the other batch files to function.

Just a simple oversight.

the bug is still there..

Comment 4 bugz 2011-12-16 13:07:49 UTC

This problem still exists in GS 9.04.

It causes a cryptic error message to show when attempting to import an .EPS file with Inkscape:
"Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.
Error reading temporary file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\temp\\user\\tmp4usc0h.svg'

Given that it's such a simple fix, could this be prioritised?

Thanks

The problem with gssetgs.bat has been fixed with:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=37053da2

This is handled by the installer, so anyone building from source would still have to make some adjustments (OTOH, someone building from source ought not to use the batch files anyway!).

The documentation omission is fixed in:
